more like compassionate maybe with other people if we can so readily share each other's experiences and our knowledge and feel more like a hive mind.

It's very hard though.

I really feel very humble about this.

to grapple with it, how it might actually feel.

The one thing which is so obvious though, which I think is just really worth reflecting on is because the mind space of possible intelligence is so different from ours, it's very dangerous if we assume they're gonna be like us or anything like us.

It's hard, but it's fascinating to think about also.

Even in the best case scenario where we don't lose control over the ever more powerful AI that we're building to other humans whose goals we think are horrible and where we don't lose control to the machines and AI...

provides the things that we want.

Even then, you get into the questions you touched here.

Maybe it's the struggle that it's actually hard to do things is part of the things that gives us meaning as well, right?

So for example, I found it so shocking that this new Microsoft GPT-4 commercial that they put together has this woman talking about

showing this demo of how she's going to give a graduation speech to her beloved daughter, and she asks GPT-4 to write it.

If it's freaking 200 words or so, if I realized that my parents couldn't be bothered struggling a little bit to write 200 words and outsource that to their computer, I would feel really offended, actually.

And so I wonder if eliminating too much of the struggle from our existence...

Do you think that would also take away a little bit of what-?

Yeah.

For me personally, I have to confess, the challenge is one of the things that really makes my life feel

You know, if I go hike a mountain with my wife, Maya, I don't want to just press a button and be at the top.

I want to struggle and come up there sweaty and feel, wow, we did this in the same way.

I want to constantly work on myself to become a better person.
