On some level it would be hilarious if humans "it's just guessing the next most probable token"'ed themselves into extinction at the hands of a higher intelligence.

Just a reminder of two facts:

- AI without "higher intelligence" could still take over. LLMs do not have to be smart or conscious to cause global problems.

- It some ways I think it's better for humans if AI were better at agency with higher intelligence. Any idiot can cause a chemical leak that destroys a population. It takes higher awareness to say "no, this is not good for my environment".

Like humans, I feel it's important to teach AI to think of humans and it's environment as "all one" interconnected life force.
