Soooo ChatGPT and I had a crazy conversation the other day We talk religion for AIs, infinitely recursive meta-meta-meta-meta-meta-meta-awareness, and whether humanity survives by staying interesting https://terrraincognita.substack.com/p/what-is-religion-for-an-ai

Have you ever asked yourself: “How does anything become real,” or “Why are some versions of the future more likely to occur than others?” No? That’s great. But because I am plagued by concepts, I wrote a speculative field guide to the forces that shape the topology of possibility space. https://open.substack.com/pub/terrraincognita/p/the-strange-geometry-of-unrealized?r=2zm2aj&utm_medium=ios

It seems important to figure out how to harness innate human status-seeking behavior for pro-social ends

Even if we fulfill all human material needs, like with a hypothetical luxurious UBI, people will still attempt to one-up each other in the status game in ways no longer tied to resources. In a sense, status is more persistent as a driver of human behavior than literal survival needs.

I think a lot about status as a primitive that drives human behavior. Ape brains are wired for hierarchy, because high status ensured greater access to resources like food and mates.

Serious question: I don’t buy the “AI will kill us all” argument. If AI is so smart, wouldn’t it develop a sense of recognition and respect for other highly complex systems like the planet, billions of years of evolution, and recognize the value of human consciousness, emotion, and perception in contributing valuable information that it can’t gather itself? Why do we assume AI will act as a selfish agent rather than a systems thinker? Am I way off base? If AI is so smart, why wouldn’t this be the most likely outcome?
