I'm not against AI per se. On the long run it's inevitable, and we'll have
to deal with it. I'm against trying to build a supercritical AI seed while
we're in window of high vulnerability. As long as we have considerable
amounts of slowtime humans tightly coupled to the native ecosystem at the
botton of this gravity well, we're extremely vulnerable.
There's a number of things which need to be done to make us less
vulnerable, some of them straightforward, some less so. Some of them are
protective (enhance people) some are offensive (addressing the scenarios
of emergence/creation of AI). I can give you a list.
