Will Human ego, greed, selfishness lead to our destruction? (AI or not)

Hopefully, with as little collateral damage to the remaining life on this planet.


There is nothing to pivot to. If we assume developer jobs are taken by AI, other jobs might have been taken already or they are not far away.

If AI progress continues and does not get misused, we end up with a utopia where we don't have to work. Otherwise, you have to be prepared for the doomer scenario. How you prepare is up to you.

There won't be any in between situation unless we hit a major roadblock somewhere - an unsolvable problem?

This is a tech enthusiast community so I don't expect people taking a doomer stance unless it hits them personally. A messup could be devastating in the future.


adhd, end up in a lot of rabit holes. Had 1500 tabs once. (It's possible to have these many tabs open)


I worked on Firefox to make sure that it kept working (and in particular starting up and closing) when you reached several thousand tabs :)

Might not have been a good idea in the end :)


4000+ here, I don't even bother pruning them anymore, I just switch browser profiles. I've got about 4 4000+ profiles.

Excessive? Yep.
