Why do you dismiss the risks that AI poses to social justice (like inequities in time, wealth and work conditions) so easily?



I can't speak for parent, but there is a point at which I just stop caring. Either thinga will get bad enough and people will revolt like they tend to do when its too late or they won't. Nihilism is one hell of a drug.

Separately, on a personal level, I find social justice annoying.

But then I have coffee and play with my kid and no longer wish to destroy the world.

Duality of man in a nutshell.


Because the question he's addressing is why the motivation and ability to develop a bioweapon are different than those of a powerful AI.
