Just in the same way that compute power can calculate things at a rate that human beings can't keep up. And there are certain things you want calculated very well. There are also some reasoning problems. You could imagine... That instead of having static laws that govern behavior poorly because they get gamed, that you could have a dynamic interaction.

You could specify an objective of something like a law. And then you could monitor whether or not a particular intervention successfully moved you in the direction that you were hoping to go or did something paradoxical, which happens all the time. And you could basically have governance that is targeted to navigation and prototyping rather than to specifying a blueprint for how we are to live.

So we wouldn't need politicians? No. At the moment, we're stuck with constitutional protections that are as good as has been constructed and still inadequate to modern realities.

I would also just point out that I think we're not being imaginative enough. I agree with you. I have the same concern about these autonomous weapons, but I also think this doesn't have to occur in the context of war or even governmental oppression, that it is perfectly conceivable that effectively this drops the price of an undetectable or an unprosecutable crime.

And maybe economic moats return in the form of people taking out their competitors or anybody who attempts to compete with them using an autonomous drone that can't be traced back to them. you know, that follows facial recognition and, you know, you don't have to kill very many people for others to get the message that this is a zone that you shouldn't mess around in.

So I could imagine, you know, effectively a new high-tech organized crime that protects rackets and makes tons of money and subjugates people who haven't done anything wrong.

does that mean that we're just at home in our vr environment with everything taking care for us and literally like the matrix and the world the real world would suck in such a scenario yes it'd be terrible i mean the other simpler explanation of the fermi paradox is that you generate sufficient technology that you can end your species and it's only a matter of time from that point which you know we can have that discussion about nuclear weapons we can have it about ai but

There you go.

Well... It is obviously a moment of a kind of human phase transition, something that I believe will be the equal of a discovery of farming or writing or electricity. And the darkness that I think is valid in looking at all of the possible outcomes of this scenario is actually potentially part of a different story as well. In evolutionary biology, we talk about an adaptive landscape in which
