Nate Soares’ take here was that an AI takeover would most likely lead to an “unconscious meh” scenario, where “The outcome is worse than the “Pretty Good” scenario, but isn’t worse than an empty universe-shard” and “there’s little or no conscious experience in our universe-shard’s future. E.g., our universe-shard is tiled with tiny molecular squiggles (a.k.a. “molecular paperclips”).” Whereas humanity boosted by ASI would probably lead to a better outcome.
That was also the most common view in the polls in the comments there.
