No, I don’t think there’s a misunderstanding. It’s more that I think the future could go many different ways with wide variance in expected value, and I can shape the direction the human future goes but I cannot shape the direction that alien futures go.
What do you think about just building and letting misaligned AGI loose? That seems fairly similar to letting other civilisations take over. (Apologies that I haven’t read your evaluation.)
