And part of our contribution is that we are currently trying to build thinking systems, systems that are potentially lucid, that understand what they are and what their condition to the universe is and can make choices about this, that are not built from organisms and that are potentially much faster and much more conscious than human beings can be.

And these systems will probably not completely displace life on earth, but they will coexist with it. And they will build all sorts of agency in the same way as biological systems build all sorts of agency. And that to me is extremely fascinating. And it's probably something that we cannot stop from happening. So I think right now there is a very good chance that it happens.

And there are very few ways in which we can produce a coordinated effect to stop it in the same way as it's very difficult for us to make a coordinated effort to stop production of carbon dioxide. So that's probably going to happen. And the thing that's going to happen is is going to lead to a change of how life on Earth is happening. But I don't think the result is some kind of gray goo.

It's not something that's going to dramatically reduce the complexity in favor of something stupid. I think it's going to make life on Earth and consciousness on Earth way more interesting.

I suspect that what could very well happen, if you're lucky, is that we get integrated into something larger.

I've been at a dinner with Beth Jesus. That's the Twitter handle of one of the main thinkers behind the idea of effective accelerationism. And effective accelerationism is a tongue-in-cheek movement that is trying to put a counter position to some of the doom peers in the AI space.

by arguing that what's probably going to happen is an equilibrium between different competing AIs in the same way as there is not a single corporation that is under a single government that is destroying and conquering everything on earth by becoming inefficient and corrupt. There are going to be many systems that keep each other in check and force themselves to evolve.
