That is your biased opinion, to which evolution and natural selection say differently. The fight for survival is the most positive of all instincts from low order organisms to humans. You do talk such rot! Just like the accident of life, if an accident of nature ( ile an asteroid) kills life off, then so be it. The great lottery of the universe is just that, even though the laws of physics rule and things collide all the time let alone AI which at the moment is just science fiction. Human would be so stupid to develop an AI that is dangerous to their welfare.

lolwut? I thought that you were an atheist. If you're saying that there is something intrinsically positive in life, then that would imply an objective arbiter (i.e. a god). If you're an atheist, then you accept the premise that evolution/natural selection wasn't a process that was set off in order to create a 'good' in the universe; it's simply an unintelligent process whereby the specimens best adapted to their environment survived. Humans are the strongest gladiators in the gladiator war, and we have a strong aversion to the termination of our existence. Even if we are enduring immense suffering; our programming will always cause us to prolong our existence for as long as possible, always at any cost to our wellbeing.

As for AI, I have just, this night found an interesting article which dovetails with a lot of my thinking on the issue of why a benevolent AI might logically determine that extinction is the best course of action:

"If" is a big word you frequently turn into one of your mind "facts". Life is good because we value it so. And what a shocker you found some article that "dovetails" with your great thinking. And your wellbeing line is more pure (deranged) subjective rubbish both in the big and in the small.
