Fermi Paradox: ASI Expansion Remains Likely Despite Existential Risk
By
–
We are almost certainly past the entire Fermi filter / all Hansonian hard steps, at this point; by far the most likely way for us to die (ASI) still leaves a giant expanding bubble chewing through the galaxy at a fraction of light speed.
