I'm talking about surviving a nuclear blast. Unlike the movies, there's no guarantee you'll be instantly vaporized. Many will die, but many more will be injured, with broken bones, burns over large parts of their body, blindness, deafness. Then comes radiation sickness, disease, famine, etc.

Same with AI. There are worse options than it wiping us all out.

Let's hope we are not chosen to be 1 of the last 5. Tortured by the AI God for all eternity. IHNMAIMS.

You are a very serious person. Please understand that I am not. Please, I beg of you. Understand this. Be better than most. Please.
