You’re thinking much too small, this only stops things occurring that are causally *downstream* of us. Things will still occur in other timelines, and we should prevent though things from happening too. I propose we create a “hyperintelligence” that acausally trades across timelines or invents time travel to prevent anything from happening in any other universe or timeline as well. Then we’ll be safe from AI ruin.
Except alternate timelines are impossible. The only convincing argument for multiple timelines is the argument for branching time. Branching time would entail timelines where objects within the branches would arise ex nihilo. Thus, branching time is impossible.
