Maybe eventually they will.

Currently, NPCs are really dumb, but once they're running GPTs, maybe they will be like, hey, this is really suspicious.

What the hell?

It's pretty incredible that these self-replicating systems will basically arise from the dynamics, and then they perpetuate themselves and become more complex, and eventually become conscious and build a society.

And I kind of feel like, in some sense, it's kind of like a deterministic wave that kind of just happens on any sufficiently well-arranged system like Earth.

And so I kind of feel like there's a certain sense of inevitability in it.

And it's really beautiful.

Yeah, I don't know what the terminating conditions are, but definitely there's a trend line of something, and we're part of that story.

And where does it go?

So we're famously described often as a biological bootloader for AIs.

And that's because humans, I mean, we're an incredible biological system, and we're capable of computation and...

and love and so on.

But we're extremely inefficient as well.

We're talking to each other through audio.

It's just kind of embarrassing, honestly, that we're manipulating seven symbols serially.

We're using vocal cords.

It's all happening over multiple seconds.

It's just kind of embarrassing when you step down to the

frequencies at which computers operate or are able to operate on.

And so basically, it does seem like synthetic intelligences are kind of like the next stage of development.
