Someone says that they believe there is a 0.1 probability of their worsening human life in a decade

Then they say they are going to keep doing it...

Forgive me for alerting you: they are liars

basic mathematical expectation, positive * chancep + negative *chancen. People smoke knowing there’s a chance to kill them because the positive outcome outweighs this risk. Creating AGI/ASI can solve every human problem, so the risks is taken, but this doesn’t mean you have to put uranium in your cigars, or do RSI.
