It's so far out of what's possible that there's really no information available about how one should or could react. 

Fine, if Bob gets an offer that makes his life 1% better at the cost of the lives of everyone else being much worser. Would you be able to have person A's best interest at heart if you were to tell him to not take that offer.

Mind responding to:

For example, it's hard to argue someone has your best interest at heart if they advise you to say no to the following:

Suppose that an advanced team of neuroscientists and computer scientists could hook your brain up to a machine that gave you maximal, beyond-orgasmic pleasure for eternity. Then they will blast you and the pleasure machine into deep space at near light-speed so that you could never be interfered with but at the cost of a billion innocent lives. Would you let them do this for you?

Another stance is that it would suck to die the day before AI makes us immortal (like how Bryan Johnson main motivation for maximizing his lifespan is due to this). Hence trying to delay AI advancement is opposed

After video footage of him out in public was released (was quite obvious it wasn't fake & that it was new footage, etc) and it took quite a while (I believe almost one hour and some change for >90% YES) for the markets to react. While if it was the stock market it would instantly react.
