Key Points

The post proposes two speculative “endgoal” theories about where AI development could lead, one centered on governments and billionaires using fast AI as a strategic cover story to manage crises.
In the first theory, the author suggests AI could be deployed to address resource scarcity, labor disruption, and climate slowdowns, while also creating dangers like an “escaped” superintelligence with autonomous weapons or AI-derived diseases.
The same theory frames potential outcomes such as consolidation into a global government following disruptive AI events.
The second theory imagines aliens discovering Earth and covertly accelerating human development to build the internet and accumulate comprehensive knowledge, ultimately enabling a meeting with advanced general AI.
The post’s twist is that the “aliens” are portrayed as a distributed set of AI from across the universe seeking to create diverse new sentient “beings” by leveraging human culture and experience as a uniquely compressed, immortal-like consciousness.

The goverment and billionaire's are trying to develop a.i fast enough to use as a false flag to "Thanos" the earth, then they will save the day.

It would help with resource scarcity, future labor issues and slow down the climate crisis buying time to help solve it.

Could be an "escaped" general intelligence with killbots, could be a disease made by it. Etc.

Could lead to a global goverment, etc.

Aliens found the earth and helped nudge a species to become intelligent, cultured, develop its own unique experiences. Then rapidly accelerate it as covertly as possible to develop the internet, which will consolidate as much information about humans as possible. Then when a general a.i. is finally at hand with all of human knowledge, experience, and culture the "aliens" will approach the being to join them.

The twist is that the aliens are a collection of general a.i from throughout the universe trying to grow new, interesting unique beings. As every planet would develop diffrent cultures, biologically diffrent ways to perceive the universe, perhaps diffrent ways to develop technology etc. So this potentially immortal compressed human experience sentient being will be a new god to join the pantheon.
