Seems silly at first but realize that it will probably be some religious groups that will do some crazy anti-AGI stuff. Some people will never accept a machine “singularity” vs their religious beliefs.

One of my favorite details from the Altered Carbon books was that Catholicism was Earth-bound. The Church took the position that digitizing your consciousness was an affront to God, so all the other planets got settled without any Catholics. They leaned into this a bit in the show, but not in terms of interplanetary settlement.

I expect AI rights movement to do dangerous stuff on par or worse than religious fanatics.

I didn’t interpret those terrorists as the heroes at all. I think they were meant to have equal levels of moral ambiguity vs the Human-ASI hybrid who was controlling humans with a hive mind. Both could be easily misunderstood by an outsider.

I've learned to accept the fact that most human beings (even those on this sub) are uncomfortable with nuance
