Why does it feel like we’re rushing toward a dangerous outcome for humanity?

Someone interviewed the top execs at AI companies to understand their motivations for perpetuating the AI race.

This is what they reported back:

“In the end, a lot of the tech people I talk to — when I really grill them on why they’re doing this — retreat into: 1) determinism 2) the inevitable replacement of biological life with digital life 3) this being a good thing anyways.

At its core, it’s an emotional desire to meet and speak to the most intelligent entity that they’ve ever met. And they have some ego-religious intuition that they’ll somehow be a part of it.

It’s thrilling to start an exciting fire. They feel they’ll die either way, so they prefer to light it and see what happens.”

I find this fascinating.

We’re seeing at a global level what happens within ourselves.

We self-sabotage.

We hurt those we love.

We seek power.

At it’s heart is the domination of the mind.

An egoic quest for meaning.

An unmet need of being held.

The only way through that I can imagine is each of us returning to ourselves.

Reclaiming our sovereignty before it’s claimed by others.

We don’t need to create an AI god.

We just need to find the god within us.
