Potential 6 month warning until the end

[Frombeyond]

So, we potentially only have 6 months until the end of civilised society and mass deaths. I’m terrified and sad

AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1kx0gyje9wo

Msybe @FairKoala is getting things confused with the anti-vaxxers who said the vaccine would kill us within two years?

I remember that prediction @TemperanceWest . I quite enjoy being able to remind my anti-vax acquaintances that I’m still alive and in good health.

Ooh, burn! I am mortified(!) 🙄

I made that remark because that specific sentence also happens to fit this context. Don't waste grey matter trying to make out I'm drawing any kind of further parallels, I suggest it could be better employed pulling your head out of the sand and educating yourself.

I completely hear you!
Very interesting to see the number of posters not taking it seriously. Maybe that's their coping mechanism.
I think it's good to stay informed but realistically as we can't do much about the situation, there's no point getting too worried about it. Easier said than done, I know!

I'm trying to stay as informed as possible but keep things in perspective and not get sucked into rabbit holes on it!

Up to 60% if people didn't comply with lockdowns or Governments didn't implement sooner.

Thankfully, other than a few people, who were shunned, most people did comply with lockdowns. So yes scare the population into requirements in order to get a lower death rate.

Lockdowns and quarantines were brutal in the past when it came to plagues or pandemics. Shoot to kill if non compliant l, banished into the wilderness as well.

Ok. We may not all die but plenty of things can happen that will change our pace and way off life drastically
so take that in for a moment.
Mass unemployment
food crisis
medical shortages
infrastructure damage such as water electricity gas
internet disruptions
that will mean no holidays no tv no supermarkets stocked well. Nothing running smoothly. Plane grounded Will prob has to introduce rationing
fighting in the streets
crime
riots

this is highly probable in the next decade if we dont stop
this. If it gets into the hands of Iran Russia North Korea poss China. Then what defenses do we have really !!!??

If you saw how my company is improving delivery with the use of AI, you'd soon rest easy.

It could be a knock on the door and told to get out by people carrying weapons. It already happens in the West Bank.

You need to research how hard the Victorian era was instead of romanticizing it, it was brutal if you weren't wealthy...

Well quite!
@placemats

What do want us all to say? What do you plan to do about it? I mean, there is also an infinitesimal possibility of an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping most of us out. Then there's also the possibility of bio-engineered pathogens unleashing a worldwide pandemic that kills us all off. Or the possibility of a full-scale nuclear war (quite possible in this volatile political climate). Or the very very real possibility of climate change making the planet unlivable for humans. What should/can we be doing about any of it?

Where are you getting that figure from?

Some countries didn’t lockdown they didn’t have 60%, nowhere close. Where did you see it?

At least I don't have to worry about the fact I'll be fucked financially when I retire.

The potential of up to 60%

Eta. The countries that didn't have lockdown, can you name them?

All domestic flights cancelled globally helped do you not agree?

How do they know? If experts in the field are concerned, who are these people who "know" it's not possible. Why are they not open minded to wanting to understand the concern?

Crikey..eye opening to say the least.

Ok but where is that figure from?

Will this affect Tesco opening hours?

😂Ok, let's postpone it til 26 Decemeber so you can have one final blow out

So is it worth me still creating a mini stock pile to cover emergencies, as advised by the government? Just thinking, there's always going to be a bottle or three of wine stock piled here, do I make sure I'm up to date with drinking and enjoying it, or save for an emergency?!

I just asked chat gpt What's going on it promises it's not plotting against us and who am I to disagree 🤣

Ok but what countries didn't do lockdown?

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/196496/coronavirus-pandemic-could-have-caused-40/

So up to 60% reduction of viral spread in older people. Up to 40% reduction in the vulnerable population. If measurements were not enforced.

So I did mistake the figures. Getting a little mixed up with plagues, which has up to 60% death rates.

AI could indeed introduce a plague like situation.

"Don’t Look Up"....everyone should watch this. The final scene was so upsetting 😥

Yeh and if it does will the delivery vans still be running

That’s hilarious and definitely hasn’t already been said on any of the multiple threads on this issue.
