And I wrote a piece, How to Think about AIY.
So this is the basic the differential between
The agentic world, an autonomous world where we're replacing humans, and the agency based world.
where you're trying to enhance humans.
I think Ethan Moloch had a great book along these lines, though added to my Christmas list and others.
Like, are we building these systems to augment humanity's potential and individual agency, or are you building it to replace humans?
in order for productivity increases, etcetera.
This again relates back to I think um religion is very interesting because the stories that have survived over the years.
And we come together in these stories of nations and politics and groups and others to scale.
And again, like I said, at the core of those was do unto others as you hand unto yourself.
There isn't much of this in the current AI discourse.
As you said, it's virtue ethics and kind of other things.
When people talk about AI ethics, it's usually like, but who's ethics?
The Chinese variant of ethics is very different from a California variant of ethics, is very different from a Muslim variant of ethics or a Jewish version of ethics.
And I think this is what, you know, Eric Schmidt and Henry Kissinger and others in relation to Genesis called doxa, or underlying human agreement on truth and other things like that, or principles.
I don't think you can have absolute truths.
I don't think a maximum truth seeking AI actually makes that much sense.
I was using that as an example of it's better not to tell it to lie from the start, you know, um so to kill humans.
But I do think that a diverse range of AIs loosely bound with defined frameworks and organised around increasing individual, community and collective agency is probably a good way to do it.
And I think there is a route to doing that as well when we look at what this technology actually is.
