this would actually be achieved by a team of 20 thousand oompa loompas with small shovels and 500 million tons of cocaine
I like how you think

Not to mention skynet. It always bothers me when people leave AI out of lists of x-risks. I guess it's because a popular sci-fi movie predicted it would happen, so nobody takes it seriously. Or perhaps it's just because AI is so unpopular now, nobody wants to devote any time to thinking about the ramifications of it becoming smarter.
Courtesy of XKCD, long before we have to contend with unfriendly AI (we have committees of AI-techs working on this problem already) we'll have to contend with someone like Musk or Bezos determined to own everything and capable of creating an AI-controlled army of killer robots.
We're not sure how rogue AI is going to manifest. We are sure rogue power-seeking humans exist all the time, and positions of power are commonly filled by them. (That's the primary argument for election by sortition, or by lottery.)

Every single nuke in the world pointed at the same spot could not achieve anything even close to this.
This would require an asteroid/comet impact
.. an order of magnitude, or two, or three, more destructive than the chicxulub impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.The entire chicxulub impact crater is about the size of 'Mound Island'.
An impact this huge would probably shatter the crust of much of, if not the entire planet, and turn the entire atmosphere into fire.
One can hope

3 years. Balkans.
We need a bigger circle

Nobody tell Israel that Arabs are semites too.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I might be overly pedantic, but it drives me insane that there are many words, where you can't take the meaning from its parts, because it would mean something completely different, but I guess that's just how our languages work.

Fuck we missed Israel again, launch another one.

Ok, so to be clear, you're saying that AI x-risk is already partially or even mostly bundled under "We end stratified society and power disparity, or we die."?

I don't think there's anything that could make a crater like that on Earth. Like, an impact big enough to leave a crater that big would render the entire crust splashy enough to fill it back in.

Not a zionist, but I'd like to see russia get destroyed

I'm struggling to keep my hype in check. I've resolved to the occasional glace at their git log and dev updates channel.
Most of it is pretty slow, but in whole it is exciting.
The update log essentially seems to be look at these nice clouds I don't think we've seen any actual gameplay yet at all

Why? Only a couple people in that country actually cause the bad stuff

Yeah... from what I remember of dicking around in universe sandbox and space engine a while back... yeah, an impact this massive would ... well, now it makes more sense to model earth as a multilayered, viscous liquid, basically.
You could end up with a ring system or possibly some minor moons, made out of ejecta.
After basically the entire Earth has turned into 'the floor is lava' for... decades? centuries?

It is saying it in our real reality. And it should stop being so.
And the image isn't in our reality

You really think someone is going to nuke the middle east and humanity is going to survive a blast bigger than one that killed the dinosaurs? -

You can't convince me that isn't a nipple snuck in by the image creator.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That is a good assessment. Yes.
In fact, the race between capitalist interests to bypass safety and get operational AGI soonest is entirely about getting that power to be able to use it to hold everyone else hostage.

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.
But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.

the safest place is in the eye of the nuke
