A retrocausal strong anthropic principle argument for why AI doom never happened
eigenhector · x · 2026-09-16
A philosophical one-liner: the author proposes a "retrocausal strong anthropic principle" — we live in a universe where AI doom didn't happen because we are here, and future us are connected to present us just as we are connected to our past selves. A playful take from the AI-x-risk discourse, light on substance.
