We make buildings install fire extinguishers for safety. Should AI plants be forced to install something that can shut it down in an instant?

      which of those have we actually done anything about? weve made some modest efforts on global warming but not enough to actually solve the issue, overpopulation was never really a serious issue in the first place, nuclear weapons still exist and still could be used someday, and the space stuff we have only the beginnings of an idea about how maybe deal with someday, except maybe asteroids and comets, which we have an idea of what to do but not the infrastructure to launch a big enough craft to redirect a big one in time.

      Apparently you don’t.

      We’ve done nothing meaningful to contain global warming. Comets? That’s a laugh! What do you think we have that will stop a comet from creating a huge mess if it happens to be pointed to us? (You’re aware that Armageddon was a fictive movie, right?) And with solar flares and nearby supernovas you’ve entered the realm of delusion. What, precisely, have we done to “contain” solar flares and supernovas?
