It is self-evident that you’ll ubiquitously use AI to learn from you, extend your abilities, and automate not just your activities but your best thinking It is self-evident that eventually this obsoletes you entirely, and denying this is childish

we have 2 or more team members from all of the most important AGI labs set to attend the first ever Worthy Successor symposium in SF on June 8th plus some of my favorite AGI intellectuals / thinkers. the world is becoming more open to genuinely posthuman / cosmic future visions

Michel de Montaigne, truly an axiological cosmist of the highest order, so many centuries ago. he could never have been a utilitarian, or and kind of "ism" that fettered the state-space of nature and value to meagre ideas conceivable by man. https://t.co/GLmfJ96VeQ

utilitarianism is anthropocentric yes they grant moral weight to bugs/animals/etc, but they presume that sentience (a single kind of value, imaginable by humans) is eternally the only/highest kind of value when in fact, most value is beyond human conception/should be explored

i interviewed one of the Rand AGI guys and next month i'm briefing Rand's AI folks on 'worthy successor' / posthumanism fucking wild. world is definitely changing. all kinds of people are receptive to the BIG stuff who never were before

Brin: "AGI before 2030, we dont know what the world is like in 10 years." Normies hear: "Might some fun new consumer gadgets coming, neato!" What he's saying: "The coming waves of creative destruction will almost certainly end human reign, but I must race on regardless." https://t.co/PoimI2NYme

i mean... ...the machines get better at the digital work, the managing of the work, the physical work, the managing of that, then they're doing science you can't conceive of, pursuing goals you don't understand ...this ends with your swift death by sand god tbh https://t.co/Iefsqw86q0

every day of my life: me: "Your dog can't understand poetry or appreciate architecture" them: "Yeah def not" me: "There are kinds of value and power beyond human conception. 'Goods' which we cannot imagine but higher minds could." them: "No way. No such things exist."

The Ambition Singularity is very real. If you're not part of it you're WAY behind the 8 ball: "At some point in the 21st century, over 90% of the most ambitious persons on Earth will be working directly or indirectly to either create or control AGI/post-human intelligence." https://t.co/ZLKsYXWgZN

more and more of the smart ‘evals’ and ‘technical AGI safety’ people I talk to are super bearish that those efforts are worth shit they’re focused on AGI comms and trying to freak out the public as our best bet to avoid ruin had like 6 talks w these kind ppl in last 3 mo

"but Dan, I envision a world where AGI and humans collaborate, and AGI always HELP the humans to flourish" lol bro who care what you 'envision'? i envision a unicorn that shits ice cream. the question is, what realistically can we achieve? eternal homonid alignment aint viable

Rand didn't care about AGI at all 10 years ago, or 5 years ago - now they do - and they want the government and DOD to pay attention in 2 hours i'm interviewing the authors of "Artificial General Intelligence's Five Hard National Security Problems" -- what should i ask them? https://t.co/1H45QWZycA
