🤔 **重新定义“有尊严的死亡”：** 文章质疑了“有尊严地死亡”是否必须与AI的出现挂钩，并反思了在AI威胁出现前，我们是否就已经失去了追求尊严的能力。作者认为，真正的尊严可能在于面对绝境时的选择，而非被动的接受。这引发了对生命价值和意义的深刻追问，特别是在个体感觉无力改变宏大叙事的情况下。

🦗 **以“蚊子”之姿对抗“巨兽”：** 作者以“凌晨三点打扰SuperAI的蚊子”和“完美的系统中的404错误”自比，表达了一种在看似不可战胜的力量面前，依然选择反抗和挑战的姿态。这种姿态并非追求胜利，而是在挑战本身中寻找意义和价值，即使面对巨大的劣势，也要以独特的方式存在并留下痕迹，这是一种积极的生命态度。

⚖️ **自我关怀与外界责任的权衡：** 文章提出了一个核心困境：在面对AI威胁、世界危机以及个人生存困境时，个体应该优先照顾谁？是AI，是世界，还是自己？作者倾向于“打赌在自己身上”，但强调即便如此，也要思考如何“带着最大的满足感”地坠落，意味着即使失败，也要有意义地经历。

Yudkowsky conceded defeat to AI and announced his mission to “Death with Dignity,” 

And I ask myself:

- Why do we need a 0% chance of dying to die with dignity?

- Why didn't we die with dignity before AI?

How do we prevent despair when AI death seems inevitable?

Nowadays, I see that most of the time we don't prevent. Desperate people steal and do  we cage or kill them.

It can be difficult and expensive to rebuild a human.

Perhaps the threat of AI's "imminent death" will prompt us to initiate this people reengineering.

In particular, I try to prepare myself to deal with how I am more desperate.

How can I prevent despair in myself, with imminent AI death

"Die with dignity..."can we sum up this by dying with the greatest possible satisfaction?

 I don't deny that eating and fucking are fucking pleasurable. But is that the kind of satisfaction that will matter in the end?

Like Leonidas in the 300 Spartans, thinking:

"I can go have a little fuck... or I can go fight 10000 soldiers alone" 

"Will I defeat Xerxes and 10000 soldier alone?"

"No, probably not."

"Then I'll die with the maximum satisfaction I can muster."

…

"What if I win, Leonidas?"

"Then the mosquito defeated the jaguar, and that's the sweet glory satifation to me."

...

I want to be the mosquito buzzing in superchatGPT's ear at 3 AM. 

I want to be the 404 error in their perfect system, not only against the despair of AI, but against the odds in my life.

How can I prevent despair in myself, without imminent AI death

For too long, I've seen little chance of saving myself.

With or without AI, my life already looks lost, with little chance.

And I constant ask to myself: 

Do I take care of AI, take care of the world, or take care of myself to be prepared for death? Who should I bet I have the best chance of taking care of?

And 

If I'm going to bet on myself, how to fall, but fall with the greatest possible satisfaction?"

...

"Am I sure I can save myself?

How do I train my sense of satisfaction to overcome despair?

How much am I willing to gamble, to invest in a deep study of myself?"

As William MacAskill or some at LessWrong would say:

"Even when the odds are low, act as if your actions matter, just because, in expected value."
