think this is a hyperbolic example, but I think it's not actually that far off from what a lot of the people building superintelligence believe too, that they are basically willing to flip the coin.
Maybe we all die, but maybe we're all immortal and that expected value wise cancels things out.
And then the final category is just, I think, folks who are so fascinated by the technical endeavor of whether we can build this thing and how to do it that they just aren't super worried about the consequences or what else might happen.
So people have all sorts of self-justifying narratives as to why it's worth it.
Some, I think, are better than others.

And this question of how much is an acceptable amount of either
extinction risk or total disempowerment risk.
You know, I think people have very different risk appetites.
And Silicon Valley is a place that has always prized their high risk appetite.

I think that's extremely different, obviously, when you're talking about the rest of the world.
