🧵 The Yellowstone Bunker
Anonymous at Thu, 20 Jun 2024 03:54:32 UTC No. 16243585
With how fast AI is advancing a rogue AI could create airborne prions that destroy 99% of life on earth. A bunker built in yellowstone to harvest it's thermal energy could have human beings continue life underground. They would need grow lights and a lot of mining/smelting equipment so they could slowly repopulate underground, and probably a few nuclear reactors for backup energy.
Is this a good idea or is flying to mars better?

Do you understand why this is a stupid idea?

Any thermal vent would do, but they will probably need shitloads of power to repopulate and grow at a reasonable rate. A weaker thermal area might just have humans degrade into inbred mutants slowly.

No, that's not why this is a stupid idea.
This is a stupid idea because if Yellowstone erupts, the bunker is vaporized.

If the AI creates airborne prions, then it means that is goal is to kill the human population on Earth.
If an AI is smart enough to develop airborne prions, then it means the AI is smart enough in general, but more strictly it's smart at planning and executing tasks.
Therefore, your plan would not work, because the AI a) wants us dead and b) smart enough to execute this goal.
Why would the AI be fooled by humans going underground? The AI would very soon (less than a decade from its first platform setting foot in the vicinity of the base. Vicinity meaning 100s of kilometers) find out.
Mars would probably work if the AI doesn't have some cancerous paperclip maximizer goal. Although many intelligent AIs would still pursue us to Mars, because we are an adversarial intelligent actor. It's "unknown factor" elimination.
I am sorry, if you didn't expect logic you could've made this thread on /tg/.

You're way too easily impressed.

How joyous, kek. Nah, thanks.
Life is out there, and if it's not lived like that, it's not worth it, IMHO.

Oh yes, and there's that. Incredibly dumb, there are many other places with geothermal energy, no need to gamble with magma intrusions and earthquakes.
