.3 percent or 20 percent are both unacceptable high risk thresholds when we are discussing human extinction.
I suppose it's not all bad though, as I've noted here with regard to entropy, if all we are is a collection of self-aware atoms, the universe discovering itself and resisting its own entropy, than perhaps AI is better suited to fulfil this goal than we are.
There's no right answer to this, and like st Petersburg paradox focusing on a number doesn't help all that much when it's neither particularly backed up by anything nor actually something we can act on beyond the actual actions we already take.
Hi Rohit. I published an essay this week talking about the virtues of public libraries, hopefully this is something everyone can agree is a good idea: https://howaboutthis.substack.com/p/public-libraries-awesome-things
Well written! I spent much of my youth in public libraries, have very fond memories.
I've been wanting to do a write up on public libraries for some time. Thank you for the inspiration.
