You hallucinated the "preemptive nuclear war". He didn't say anything about nukes. That's your own invention.
> Does it bother you that the people who are publicly cocksure that P(doom) is moments away
20% is not "cocksure". The "moments" is again an exaggeration.
Every problem is a search problem. Nuke the data centers.
P(doom) = 98.9% (Aug-2026) P(doom) = 98.2% (July-2026) P(doom) = 98.2% (Jun-2026) P(doom) = 98.5% (May-2026) P(doom) = 98.8% (mid-April-2026) P(doom) = 98.7% (April-2026) P(doom) = 98.7% (March-2026) P(doom) = 98.5% (mid-Feb-2026) P(doom) = 97% (Feb-2026) P(doom) = 94% (Jan-2026) P(doom) = 93% (Dec-2025) P(doom) = 95% (July-2025)
It's was an expression of my sentiment, not a policy position I'd support. I wrongly assumed that was obvious, but some people are making bad-faith assumptions about me and my sanity.
Not that it should need to be said on a comment thread where I am express concern about civilisation in a post-ASI world, but I obviously don't want to see a nuclear war.
