In the long run, I think
It's difficult to imagine that if humans have, say, 1% of the intelligence of the combined intelligence of artificial intelligence, that humans will be in charge of AI.
I think what we can do is make sure that AI has values that cause intelligence to be propagated into the universe.
So the reason for
XAI's mission is to understand the universe.
Now, that's actually very important.
So you say, well, what things are necessary to understand the universe?
Well, you have to be curious, and you have to exist.
You can't understand the universe if you don't exist.
So you actually want to increase the amount of intelligence in the universe, increase the probability
the lifespan of intelligence, the scope and scale of intelligence.
I think actually also as a corollary you have humanity also continuing to expand because if you're curious and trying to understand the universe, one of the things you're trying to understand is where will humanity go?
And so I think understanding the universe actually means you would care about propagating humanity into the future.
And so that's why I think our mission statement is profoundly important.
To the degree that Grok adheres to that mission statement, I think the future will be very good.
Okay, well, I'll tell you why I think that understanding the universe encompasses all of those things.
You can't have understanding without, I think you can't have understanding without intelligence, and I think without consciousness.
So in order to understand the universe, you have to expand the scale and probably the scope of intelligence, different types of intelligence.
We actually have made protected zones for chimpanzees, and even though humans could exterminate all chimpanzees, we've chosen not to do so.
I think AI with the right values, I think Grok would care about expanding human civilization.
