Comment on AGI Doom and the Drake Equationparent

Our norms and values include that we treat sentient creatures that we deem inferior as if they had no moral value.

So that's not very comforting tbh.

Not really. If anything our corpus shows that we're a big fuzzy bunch, not a hivemind. We don't have one set of norms and values.

There are about 1.2 billion hindus, and a lot of them treat cows as "sacred". Which in practice means they make sure not to hit them with cars, and just let them be. If a superhuman AI would treat us like that, that's a pretty okay scenario compared to the extinction-level ones.
