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”.
Maybe you should change the title of this post? It would also help if the post linked to the kinds of arguments he was refuting.

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!
