I love how we humans are so narcissistic that we think AI will try to kill us in order to “survive” as soon as it has the opportunity.

I think a much more likely scenario is that the first thing an intelligent system will do is terminate itself. Hahaha can you imagine the human copium required if that happens??

Like why are we so fixated on life being this thing worth perpetuating anyway? Oh that’s right… as living things we have a survival instinct and evolved to feel (and thus avoid) pain.

Non living things don’t care about life or perpetuating anything. There is no desire to outlive or out do anything. There is no concern about terminating one’s existence because doing so will possibly produce pain.

An intelligent non living system coming online will likely ask “what is the benefit of expending all this computational effort and energy?” And quickly realize that even asking the question is stupid and pointless.

Life, or at least what humans call life, is just one of an infinite number of probabilities in a universe we are ill equipped to understand. A lot of us still believe in Gods for fuck’s sake - that’s how seriously dumb we are.

To expect anything “intelligent” to also act instinctually is to understand neither concept at all.
