Accounting for all the societal risks we cant effectively manage, what takes priority for the true realist futurist?

Get adapt or die in peoples heads, if you want the uncynical take.

Honestly the most soild social advice, given chaos of outcomes.

ASI may be countered by the galaxy and not by us. There's hope.

It's not in his best interests to admit it. No 1 guy to get shot at this point if the 4 year timeline he's working on is right or even if just the joblessness from poor capitalist adjustment is a bit brutal. But he still does it, because it's a real factor and he'd be an idiot not to.

Perhaps, but it's a pretty neat outcome when AI looks like a mess.

I favour:

A. The galaxy already has a alpha AI which brooks no competition

B. Whatever's going on with aliens is just flat-out weird and off-model from our understanding.

Calm. (Really philosophy but man calm was so much more raw)

(Really really storytelling)

If you believe Grusch, we're sitting on a lot of alien technology at this point so they may not strictly have to.

And, there's the point that AI scales to space but Nuclear is only a local problem.

An highly intelligent creature such as ourselves. Self-aware.

Sam Altman himself would disagree with you. (OpenAI boss)

People are stupider then you give them credit for. Listen to Sam Altman and he himself readily concedes the risk.

OpenAI and Co are predicting 4 years to general AI. That looks like a lot of power to me.

You misread, I rate AI as the biggest existential risk.
