A post about actually doing something about containing the threat from AGI and not dying [this one]: downvoted to oblivion (-5 karma within an hour; currently 13 karma on 24 votes; +0.54 karma/vote)
My read: y’all are so allergic to anything considered remotely political (even though this should really not be a mater of polarisation—it’s about survival above all else!) that you’d rather just lie down and be paperclipped than actually do anything to prevent it happening. I’m done.
I don’t want to speak on behalf of others, but I suspect that many people who are downvoting you agree that something should be done. They just don’t like the tone of your post, or the exact actions you’re proposing, or something else specific to this situation.
