    If AGI decided to evaluate this, it would realize that we are the environmental catastrophe and turn us off.

    The amount of energy used by Cryptocurrency is estimated to be about 0.3% of all human energy use. It’s reasonable to assume that - right now, at least, LLMs use consume less than that.

    Making all humans extinct would save 99% of the energy and damage we cause, and still allow crypto mining and AI to coexist, with energy to spare. Even if those estimates are off by an order of magnitude, eliminating us would still be the better option.

    Turning itself off isn’t even in the reasonable top-ten things it could try to do to save the planet.
