And then from this perspective, there's other stuff that is important. So this is my main issue with Eliezer's perspective, that he's basically marrying himself to a very narrow human aesthetic. And that narrow human aesthetic is a temporary thing.

Humanity is a temporary species, like most of the species on this planet are only around for a while and then they get replaced by other species in a similar way as our own physical organism is around here for a while and then gets replaced by the next generation of human beings that are adapted to changing life circumstances on average via mutation and selection.

And it's only when we have AI and become completely software that we become infinitely adaptable and we don't have this generational and species change anymore. So if you take this larger perspective and you realize it's really not about us, it's not about Eliezer or humanity, but it's about life on earth or it's about defeating entropy for as long as we can,

while being as interesting as we can, then the perspective changes dramatically. And preventing AI from this perspective looks like a very big sin.

There is no single answer to this. It's a question that depends on the perspective that I'm taking at a given moment. And so there are perspectives that are determining most of my life as a human being. And there are other perspectives where I zoom out further and...

Imagine that when the great oxygenation event happened, that is, photosynthesis was invented and plants emerged and displaced a lot of the fungi and algae in favor of plant life and then later made animals possible. Imagine that the fungi would have gotten together and said, oh my God, this photosynthesis stuff is really, really bad. It's going to possibly displace and kill a lot of fungi.

We should slow it down and regulate it and make sure that it doesn't happen. This doesn't look good to me.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much the story of the Club of Rome, the limits to growth. And the cliff that we are stepping over is at least one foot as the delayed feedback. Basically, we do things that have consequences that can be felt generations later, and the severity increases even after we stop doing the thing.
