After Intelligence
Questions on my mind, as intelligence becomes abundant.
Work & Ambition
- What happens to ambition when AI agents are better at all intelligent work and resource allocation than humans?
- What is worth doing if AI can do it better?
- Are we headed towards a world where exceptionality will be about the body vs. the mind? Sports, looks…
- If work matters less, where does money come from? Will we end up in permanent societal stratification?
Meaning
- How will it feel for us to know that we're the second best species on earth? What happens to human drive in this world?
- Will we actually be happier if there's no work for us to do?
- Will we need new religions?
Life & Death
- What changes if dying gets pushed much further away?
- What happens to marriage and careers if healthy life gets much longer?
- How much of our bodies and minds should we change over time, if we can upgrade everything and become cyborgs?
Power
- Do I want an AI making important decisions for me?
- Who should control intelligence more powerful than all human intelligence combined? Can it even be controlled?
- Is AI controlling us eventually a foregone conclusion that we just don't want to accept?
Love
- What happens when AI understands me better than another person can?
- What's different about being in love with an AI vs. with a human?
