Most of us are aware that pronatalism is popular within Silicon Valley. But there's a new kind of antinatalism that's catching on, too! In this article, I give it a name: replacement antinatalism.
Okay antinatalists, pro-extinctionists, you first. I think Jane Goodall had the right idea of putting all these wankers in a rocket and launching them into space. Since they are so fond of dictating what happens to their fellow humans they should have no objection to the rest of us making that choice for them.
I don't know if this will be mentioned in your upcoming book, but I'd note that both types of antinatalism presume that there will be no differentiation in consciousness (however it is defined) between AGI and human intelligence. If that matters to these folks, the assumption will be objectively tested soon, IMO. If it doesn't ... well that's a different matter entirely.

Replacement antinatalism was also a core tenet of the Zizian cult. I can dredge up the relevant quotes when I'm home.
