It seems to me that this is a very precarious situation to be in where

Look, in The Limit, we know that this should be possible because if you have something that is as good as a human at learning, but which can merge its brains, merge their different instances in a way that humans can't merge, already this seems like a thing that should physically be possible.

Humans are possible.

Digital computers are possible.

You just need both of those combined to produce this thing.

And it also seems like this kind of thing is...

extremely, um, powerful and economic growth is one way to put it.

Um, I mean, Dyson Spear is a lot of economic growth, but another way to put it is just like, you will have potentially a very short period of time because a human on the job can, you know, you, you're hiring people to SSI in six months.

They're like net productive probably.

Right.

Um, a human like learns really fast.

And so this thing is becoming smarter and smarter very fast.

Um,

How do you think about making that go well?

And why is SSI positioned to do that well?

What is SSI's plan there, basically, is what I'm trying to ask.

So even if you got an AI to hear about sentient beings, and it's not actually clear to me that that's what you should try to do if you solve the linemen,

It would still be the case that most sentient beings will be AIs.

There will be trillions, eventually quadrillions of AIs.
