What we’re about
A 1x/month discussion focused on managing our emotions in the face of the daunting prospect of AI existential risk.
**********************
In a recent interview about AI, renowned researcher Geoffrey Hinton stated, “there’s a 10 percent chance these things will wipe out humanity in the next twenty years.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky is more direct: “I tell people they’re walking dead and a child conceived today will probably not live to grow up.”
These are scary projections, not unlike a doctor giving a terminal cancer diagnosis. How do we make sense of our daily lives with this looming threat to our existence?
I’m starting this group to process the emotions that come with this prognosis, predominantly DENIAL.
Let’s take the experts at their word, and process what this means and how we choose to live our lives going forward.
This isn’t meant to be a debate about timelines or who’s right or wrong. It’s a peer support group to help each other navigate the emotions of the scarily high probability of AI cutting our lives shorter than we expected.
All are welcome.
