While I’ve been thinking about this kind of thing for years, it’s still a bit startling to see it addressed so frankly in front of a large audience, and of course further spread to many more people via video archival. I don’t know how many potential viewers are quite ready to see this without reacting pretty badly, but of course… she certainly does speak facts.

That said, I’ve no argument whatsoever for her and anyone else doing whatever feels healthy and right in the face of collapse, but really, there’s much more to address here, as in– what it’s like to live when an AI singularity really gets rolling, or when dictatorship becomes that much worse, or when simply trying to exist gets much harder and more dangerous. To me, all that’s kind of the undropped shoe of a discussion, so to speak.
