All right, I’ll play ball.
If my devoting my career to AI research fails to make FAI, sure, I’ll buy into cryonics.
Right now I am 19 years old, poor as dirt, lives with my parents, healthy lifestyle, careful to the point of paranoia; show me a cryonics establishment in Denmark and I will reserve a space when I have the funding. (the “show me” is a rethoric, I intend to find out myself)
I am generally optimistic with regards to FAI, and I am no strong Bayesian at all. You have a point, yeah, plain as day.
And thank you Kaj_Sotala, for taking up on this, frankly not at all “fun” or “inviting” and, yes, frankly quite “needlessly confrontational,” yet still true counterargument.
wedrifid; there is a time to be direct and insulting in a playful kind of way. You need to learn when that time is.
ETA: After a brief lookup of the term “Vitrification” i find the term “Toxicity” to feature, along with “Optimistic of the future.” I am not sure what to think here, compelling arguments can be made for each.

The toxicity isn’t a problem if it’s going to be a brain upload, but it is a valid concern for any attempt at resurrecting the wetware.
Sorry, you pointed out a counterargument made by Vladimir_Nesov, in a confrontational manner.
Also, thank your for reminding me that I have to sharpen my posting abilities.
Vladimir Nesov made a very true counterargument, you endorsed it to test my ability to change my standpoint. Nothing wrong with that; and lo and behold, I actually have. Congratulations, you and Vladimir_Nesov both get an upvote from the new guy.

Thankyou! Respond positively and thinking clearly despite (being primed to) consider an interaction to be a confrontation is potentially even more valuable trait to signal than ability to update freely. A valuable newcomer indeed!

I didn’t make a counterargument of any kind.
