A recent study suggests that artificial intelligence may be more effective than doctors at detecting breast cancer and could soon be widely used for this purpose.

I mean.... killing off 6 billion people would also remove those things as you wouldn't have the resource allocation to build or maintain them.

I guess the AI genocidial maniac decided to delete and run.

"What if the super intelligence is actually stupider than ChatGPT currently is?"

​

For real? That's your concern?

This is right. I mean no offense to microorganisms, but fuck microorganisms.

Plus there is no telling how enticing an archology could be built with super intelligence. You could pack entire city's worth of people in on skyscrapper that somehow looks good, has parks and ressources in and has roomier quarters than our current appartments and houses.

No one would survive that scenario. This thought experiment has gone really dark quickly.

And what's the point? We are basically developing the tech to kill ourselves. And it's happening right now.

PS: it was a rhetorical question

Why would they do that? They want a vacation home over there. And a resort. A trail for Instagram photos. A safari park or whatever.

Human desires are endless. Making more people rich just creates more desires. Scaled up to 8 billion, everybody has a vacation home in the rain forrest.

The planet don't care. As long as we are keeping the minerals on it.

Will we die or flood it - planet will restore to it's original form anyway

No! All technology makes zero improvement as time goes on! That's why I still use a computer from the 1950's

So instead you just want to let a computer, programmed by humans, decide which billions of humans to kill, to get down to an arbitrary number that you pulled out of your ass. Okay, fucking fascist.

You could make the majority of humans sterile. That works itself out within few years.

That's like giving a drug addict more money. There is never gonna be "enough" for his desires can never be fulfilled.

Letting the human population breed in ever growing numbers works at cross porpose for every reasonable long term planing provide a stable enviroment.

If nothing else, it's encouraging how common water seems to be around the universe.

How else would the wealthy continue to hoard the? Please think of the billionaire./s

Example:

GPS : Make a right turn.

[Michael starts to turn right]

Dwight Schrute : Wait, wait, no no no, it means "bear right." Up there.

Michael Scott : No, it said right. It said take a right.

Dwight Schrute : No, no. Look, it means go up to the right -- bear right -- over the bridge, and hook up with 307.

GPS : Make a right turn.

Michael Scott : Maybe it's a shortcut, Dwight. It said go to the right.

[he turns right]

Dwight Schrute : It can't mean that, there's a lake there!

GPS : Proceed straight.

Michael Scott : I think it knows where it is going.

Dwight Schrute : This is the lake! THIS IS THE LAKE!

Michael Scott : The machine knows! Stop yelling at me! Stop yelling!

Dwight Schrute : NO! IT'S UP THERE! THERE'S NO ROAD HERE!

[It's too late. Michael drives right into the lake]

Dwight Schrute : Remain calm, I have trained for this!

[he unbuckles his seat belt]

Dwight Schrute : Okay. Exit the window! Here we go!

[Dwight and Michael climb out the windows]

GPS : Make a u-turn, if possible

The following submission statement was provided by /u/mancinedinburgh:

A new analysis of data from the last 40 years suggests there may be water hiding beneath the frozen surfaces of two of Uranus’ moons. Why is that significant? They are the latest two celestial bodies in our solar system which would potential hosts of life. Who knows - it could be a useful refuelling outpost/staging point for human missions explorations into deep space in the centuries to come.

Keep this fascist bs in the burning dumpster where it belongs. The problem is not overpopulation, it's efficiently using and allocating the resources available, instead of allowing a privileged few to hoard and waste them, and manipulate essential resources like food, water, and housing, as commodities.

I'm no rocketsurgeon, but asking an AI to remove 75% of humanity seems like a bad idea. What if it thinks that means removing 75% of each of us. We might just end up as a bunch of heads in jars. Futurama style. I guess that would sort of be a version of the singularity.
