YES

A. Death by paperclips, eternal torment of all humans by AI, or similar unalignment catastrophe.

F. AI wipes out most jobs as in D. People not forced into mind-uploads or experience machines. General perception that AI has made life more meaningful/fulfilling&improved the human experience on dimensions other than hedonium maximization.

I. AI soon hits fundamental scaling laws and we go into another AI winter.

G. AI development continues but doesn't change things too much, somehow. Most jobs, even low-level white collar jobs, don't get impacted too hard, as new work is found to replace newly automated work. Labor force participation remains high.

B. Governments and/or other powerful entities use AI as a tool of repression, enabling global techno-totalitarianism along the model of China during Zero Covid or worse.

C. AI doesn't actively want to hurt us, but (possibly aided by transhumanists) they become obsessed with utility maximization and force us all into mind-uploads and/or experience machines to free up resources for more computronium.

H. Humanity coordinates to prevent the development of significantly more powerful AIs.

D. AI wipes out most white-collar jobs within a decade and most blue-collar jobs within a generation; powerful humans and/or AIs at least seriously consider disposing of the "useless eaters" en masse, us being powerless to resist.

Starobinsky (R^2) inflation took place in our universe.

The eternal inflation + multiverse scenario applies to our universe.

Bouncing/cyclic universe scenario is correct and inflation is false.

Cosmic inflation did not take place in our universe.

Chaotic inflation took place in our universe.

The beginning is fundamentally unknowable with any current and future observations.

The universe arises out of quantum tunneling from ‘nothing’, and the process can be described by a Lorentzian path integral (e.g., Vilenkin's proposal).

The universe is eternal and has no beginning.

There is change in spacetime signature (e.g., Hartle-Hawking proposal of Euclidean to Lorentzian signature)
