The Singularity is a hypothetical future event where technology growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, leading to unpredictable transformations in our reality[1]. It’s often associated with the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, potentially causing radical changes in society. I’d like to know your thoughts on what the Singularity’s endgame will be: Utopia, Dystopia, Collapse, or Extinction, and why?

    According to Connor Leahy, companies are currently engaged in a race to be the first ones to achieve AGI, prioritizing speed over security, as mentioned in his video (source). I firmly believe that unless significant changes occur, we are headed towards extinction. We may succeed in creating a highly powerful AGI, but it might disregard our existence and eventually destroy us—not out of malicious intent, but simply because we would be in its way. In the same way humans don’t consider ants when constructing a road. I wish more people were discussing it because it will be too late in a few years.
