Indeed. But the feeling of well-being is not absolute, but relative to you socio-economic context. The average American is manitudes better off now than 200 years ago, in absolute terms. But are they just as many…

Is it actually? It doesn't give out reliable information and its "creativity" is questionable. Most of the excitement about it has to do with anthropomorphizing a robot that "feels" like an intelligent conversation…
1000 generations into the future? People to whose genome you contributed 2^-1000, i.e. almost nothing? Who know neither your name nor care about it? Like you don't really care about your ancestors 1000 generations ago?…
> we have to preserve this species on another planet to ensure that intelligence doesn't disappear from the observable universe in case something happens to Earth/its biosphere And why would such disappearence be bad?…
That's your definition of intelligence? Space flight abilities? Then surely humans until a few decades ago were not intelligent either.
I do. And their well-being has to me little to do with the continued existence of our species a few generations down the line.
Ah, anthropocentrism is your motivator. Please step outside and be amazed when realizing what the other species on this planet are capable of.
And suddenly you care a lot about the "how", not just the "what". Voiding the whole "but it's declarative!" argument. At least in imperative code the "how" is explicit. In functional code it's implicit and you need…
I really wonder why "continued existence of our kind" is a worthwhile life goal. Serious question.
For the average American, a crazy MAGA freak with a gun is a much higher risk to life than the sun turning into a red giant. Other countries have similar scenarios.
And why would anybody care? Will you or anybody who will know about you be alive at that point? There are millions if not billions alive today who are suffering from war, famine, dictatorships. And climate change is…

Or even figuring out simpler things like how to avoid destroying rain forest to grow palm oil. You know where palm trees don't grow? On mars.

If you have a security background then you know that 0days go for 6-7 figures and it's unlikely somebody would burn one of those on some random dude. Way to make yourself feel important. It's not that you made some…
