Hostile AI takeover would likely kill every last human, however.
Well, nuclear weapons already exist (not conditional) and you survive one, two, how many nuclear wars?
There is a nuclear weaponized “human alignment” problem. Without a clear road to Utopy, how can we avoid, I don’t know, a nuclear war every 200 years? A geological level catastrophe on historic time scale cycle…
