I think this video forgot a little about the ethical roots. I'm not sure how that could be presented alongside this paper, but I question whether just taking over the universe is necessarily good. And not just because other civilizations could do it too. I don't think it's that important that it's *us* to do it either, although some might argue what you know is safer. I think we should emphasize the tradeoffs between expanding life and making sentiences/consciousness have good existences. I mean, maybe in the limit grabby civilizations wouldn't "waste" resources on consciousness (and things that we can understand truly matter), and turn into another exercise in paperclip maximization. Looking at the future is inspiring, but we also should be realistic and ensure the future we're looking at is actually inspiring/good.
