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.

crypto has a status problem. if we can fix public perception, onboarding new people becomes 1000x easier

I just got an email from Blue Cross saying they had been accidentally letting Google use health insurance and doctors visit data for years to sell ads 😭
