If we somehow produced the sort of AI which EY wants, then I think you’d have radically underestimated the chance of being reconstructed from cryonically preserved data.
On the other side, you appear comfortable talking about 4 more decades of potential life, which is rather longer than the maximum I can believe in for myself in the absence of a positive singularity. I may also disagree with your take on selfishness, but that isn’t even the crux here! Set aside the fact that, in my view, AGI is likely to kill everyone in much less than 40 years from today. Even ignoring that, you would have to be overstating the case when you dismiss “the downfall of society,” because obviously that kills you in less than 4 decades with certainty. Nor is AGI the only X-risk we have to worry about.
