- The two most prominent visions of AI are humanity-denying: succesionism and hyper-engagement maximalism.
- Succesionism is about building a worthy successor "species".
- These are the folks who might call you a "specist" if you talk about human flourishing in an era of AI.
- If you said "specist" to anyone outside of the bay area everyone would say "that's insane" and laugh in your face.[nb]
- Hyper-engagement maximalist is a cynical business ploy.
- "it's what the users want, so just give it to them!"
- What about a human-centric vision of flourishing in the era of AI?
- Different people would want different things, but what's important is that everyone is living more aligned with their aspirations.
