I think this is my best playlist yet. Listen to it when you get the meta-crisis blues… France was on fire a few weeks ago. The riots from the death of Nahel Merzouk caused civil unrest with an estimated cost of €1 billion to businesses across the country. Seeing France burn, a video released from the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations University comes to mind, foreshadowing megacities' "unavoidable" dystopian fate.
We are wise to fear that AGI might supplant us. But think about it. We are clearly collectively foolish, with the consequences of that collective foolishness rising at an accelerating rate. Best we accept that we need to be supplanted, and focus our attention on inculcating wisdom in our supplanter(s).
Yes, we need to meet fate with a loving gaze. We also need more court jesters to help us acknowledge and k augh at our ridiculousness.
