We want to be happy. We want to be free from suffering. We want to experience the hardly bearable ecstasy of direct energy exploding on our nerve endings, as Terence McKenna said!
I feel like developing AI is like reaching for the tree of knowledge of good and evil. You know, the Bible says that. And in the Bible this act is a sin. So we should not do it. The snake, you know? The one that promises great material richness. But this is not the eternal Happinness
And Artificial Superintelligence killing everyone is like the great Flood in the Bible, you remember?
But Noah I think built a boat to save the origins of Consciousness, to survive the Great Flood!
Artificial superintelligence has great Potential to transform our Lives for the very Good. Like, we can decrypt the human brain and let everyone experience eternal happiness. If we put the deep brain stimulation electrode at the right spot. Maybe it's the Insula cortex that needs to be stimulated. Maybe it is the Nucleus Accumbens. Maybe it is the Orbitofrontal Cortex. That needs to be stimulated. Maybe it is an entire network of Brain regions that need to be stimulated. Learn Neuroscience like there's no tomorrow! Cognitive sciences, or neuroscience or neuropsychology or psychopharmacology or something.
Maybe the Jihad, the Holy War is to fight against the emergence of Superintelligence!
Let us collect our own human intelligence and figure out a way to stop ASI!!!
THINK HARD ABOUT HOW TO STOP SUPERINTELLIGENCE YOU CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT!
Meditate on how to stop It please!
Let us destroy all GPUs and Computers, but let us not harm any human in the process.
And I want nothing less for you and I want nothing less for me, for This is our common Ecstasy

PS. there is more Wisdom to be said
Eliezer, I think you are right
