Pushing back against AI safety advocates who argue that safe superintelligence is impossible, a user crafted a satirical post mimicking ancient Chinese philosophy.
Parodying the style of the philosopher Mozi, the user joked: 'If safe superintelligence were impossible, would the wise kings of the past have built data centers?' The post humorously argues that sages would naturally pursue safe superintelligence to bring order and wealth.
