I was just thinking yesterday that it might actually be worse than nuclear weapons. Both in terms of likelihood to destroy all of humanity and in terms of “how did nobody working on this see that this was an obviously horrifying idea”


> “how did nobody working on this see that this was an obviously horrifying idea”

Perhaps they did and quit?

Q2: How does nobody still working on this not see that this is an obviously horrifying idea?

A: They passed the filter. The fact such people are in control is even more horrifying.


It's the great filter. 99% of knowledge workers will lose their skills and/or their jobs.
