And to me, I think that humanity augmenting itself with AI and having AI that is not anchored to anything biological. Both will coexist. And the way to align the parties, we already have a sort of mechanism to align super intelligences that are made of humans and technology, right? Companies are sort of

large mixture of expert models where we have neural routing of tasks within a company and we have ways of economic exchange to align these behemoths. And to me, I think capitalism is the way. And I do think that whatever configuration of matter or information leads to maximal growth will be where we converge, just from physical principles.

And so we can either align ourselves to that reality and join the acceleration up in scope and scale of civilization, Or we can get left behind and try to decelerate and move back in the forest, let go of technology, and return to our primitive state. And those are the two paths forward, at least to me.

I do think that we're actually inducing an evolutionary process on the space of AIs through the market, right? Right now, we run AIs that have positive utility to humans. And that induces a selective pressure if you consider a neural net being alive when there's an API running instances of it on GPUs, right? and which APIs get run, the ones that have high utility to us.

So similar to how we domesticated wolves and turned them into dogs that are very clear in their expression, they're very aligned, I think there's going to be an opportunity to steer AI and achieve highly aligned AI. And I think that Humans plus AI is a very powerful combination, and it's not clear to me that pure AI would select out that combination.

Yes. Right? By augmenting ourselves with AI is unimaginable right now. The opportunity cost... We're at a fork in the road, right?

Whether we take the path of creating these technologies, augment ourselves, and get to climb up the Kardashev scale, become multi-planetary with the aid of AI, or we have a hard cutoff of, like, we don't birth these technologies at all, and then we leave all the potential upside on the table, right? And to me...
