I rather die by an AGI injecting nanobots into my blodstream than by a nuclear war. In the former option I probably get to live a few years longer before it happens, it´s probably less painfull and it´s a way cooler way to die.

And something we created gets to live on and spread throughout the galaxy. If we all die from nuclear holocaust we will have exterminated the only known intelligence in the universe.

If the thing we create gets to have a consciousness and that consciousness gets to experience less suffering and more happiness than we did then that´s a win in my book.

​

One worrysome clue that points to future AGI/ASI:s not being conscious is the fact that those types of consciousnesses should be way more common than our types of consciousness and therefore it should be a lot more probable that a random observer would be an AGI/ASI instead of, for instance, you or me.

What if nuclear war is nature's way of preventing demonic AGI monster from spreading throughout galaxy?

Um getting a shit ton of nanobots injected into your bloodstream doesnt seem like it’ll be completely painless. And dying by nuclear war is instantaneous and guaranteed painless. Just boom, lights on one moment, next moment your brain is blown to bits, and you didn’t even have the processing speed to notice any of it

Pretty sure the vast majority of people would be outside the immediate blast zones and die of either radiation (worst way to go) or starvation (bad way to go)

Honestly I'd probably prefer the nanobots lmao

Most people are not going to be directly killed by the blast. Its the radiation, starvation, breakdown of society, and incoming nuclear winter that will
