LessWrong thread: Do slower-growth Earths have a better shot at FAI?
jessi_cata · x · 2026-10-23
A discussion thread around the LessWrong post "Do Earths with slower economic growth have a better chance at FAI?". @jessicata notes that people raising crucial considerations often flag one side as the convergent naive position, though this happens less over time as the point becomes common knowledge. A prior tweet questions whether naive positions vary across contexts: e.g. "reduce population and wealth so humans eat less meat" seems highly non-naive, and typical positions in population ethics are non-naive as well.
