AI Safety Debate: 'The Status Quo Isn't Safe' — AI Could Extend Healthy Lifespans
fuulu92 · x · 2026-09-12
X users tomchapin and fuulu92 clash over AI risk. tomchapin argues the status quo is the real danger: nearly everyone alive will die from aging or disease within 120 years, and advanced AI may radically extend healthy life — would a drowning person reject a rescue with 10% risk? He asks what gives doomers the right to halt research that could cure terminally ill children. fuulu92 counters that individuals may choose, but "AI lords" shouldn't decide for everyone — society should debate it.
