I don’t feel comfortable changing the title of other people’s posts unilaterally, though I agree that a title change would be good.
To my own surprise, I wasn’t actually the one who crossposted this and came up with the title (my guess is it was Robby). I poked him about changing the title.
It was me. I initially suggested “Bernard Arnault won’t give you $77” as the title, Eliezer said “don’t bury the lead, just say ‘ASI will not leave just a little sunlight for Earth’”. After reading this thread I was thinking about alternate titles and was thinking about ones that would both convey the right thing and feel like a reasonably succinct/aesthetic/etc.
Maybe change “superintelligences will not spare Earth a little sunlight” to “unaligned superintelligences will not spare...”, or “unaligned AIs will not spare...”, given that it’s not addressing hypothetical AIs that “love us like parents”.

I updated the title with one Eliezer seemed fine with (after poking Robby). Not my top choice, but better than the previous one.

I didn’t cross-post it, but I’ve poked EY about the title!
