In this post, Ajeya Cotra expands on her claim that near-term AI timelines could make modern marriage “shorter” than we usually imagine, arguing that the Singularity could either cut lives off through catastrophic risk or transform them so radically that ordinary lifelong vows may no longer fit the world people find themselves in. The essay is less a rejection of marriage than a reframing of commitment under extreme uncertainty: even if “til death” might really mean “til death or the Singularity,” a finite marriage can still be profound, stabilising, and worth choosing.
