Arguing 'ASI Is Unknowable' Doesn't Mean 50-50 Odds: A Doom Debate
LeviTurk · x · 2026-09-21
Levi Turk pushes back on danfaggella's claim that "what ASI does to us is unknowable, so 'bode well' is weak." Turk argues that "it is unknowable" is logically incompatible with "so there's a 50-50 chance it goes well for hominids," linking an article (with a readable screenshot) and challenging the other side to pinpoint disagreement — and to commit to a p(happyzoo) estimate with reasoning.
