Single-speaker YouTube monologue (Charles Cormier) discussing the metaphor of "one-way doors" versus reversible decisions applied to AGI and human history. The speaker argues humanity has irreversibly dominated and exterminated other species, cites the Holocaust and ongoing genocides as evidence of humans' capability for mass extermination, and speculates that extraterrestrials (UFOs) and AGI would likely not intervene.

All these like one way doors versus revolving doors. A one way door for example. Historically if we look at other fields and just business is us humans taking over the planet, right, That's a one way door. It's, you can't go back. We just like dominate everything and it's, it's impossible for these other creatures to compete. That is if they're not alien creatures. Right, Because I believe in UFOs and I, I do think that they're already with us. They just don't intervene. Just like an AGI wouldn't intervene by the way. That's one of my strong theories amongst many. If we look at and yet like us humans, like we have exterminated stuff and if we look no further than the holocaust, we're capable of exterminating stuff at mass, you know, where we have this horrible evil nature in us. And yes, the AI could certainly pick up on that. And yeah, there's genocides happening on a daily basis. There's really mean and evil people out there that just killed for fun, you know. So like yeah, I could certainly pick on that. But the point I was trying to make.
