Every single one of these scenarios has the load-bearing assumption of “terraforming another planet will be technically easier than fixing the worst case climate change scenario on Earth” and that is just such a phenomenally stupid belief

I don't believe a single thing these people say Listening to folks who have even the slightest understanding of cyber-security leads me to assume that anything like this that they say is: 1. Intentionally misleading or an outright lie 2. Completely avoidable with basic security practices

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.
