I think we're about to see an explosion of tech that's gonna radically alter what it means to be human, and I have no idea how our cultural brains are going to handle this

Assuming AI doesn't kill us, what happens to our world when everything we do is done better by nonhumans? And not just everything we do - everything we *wish we could do*. If it's aligned, it should be trivial to rebuild our bodies however we want.

This is precisely what we are. This is our creative fit with Gaia. She wants to extend life, biological and otherwise, into the vast Universe. Humanity will birth the silicon life capable of doing that. twitter.com/MuskUniversity…

I just hope people are ok with what I'd want to be and aren't too uncomfortable with someone in that form having the full human experience

Imo it will become clear to younger generations, who already hate the cohort that can afford to reap these benefits, that most people with real satisfaction in life are those who resist tech mods as much as possible. Antitech will be the youth norm outside of elite circles

I think it makes sense to think of aligned AI as an Iron Man supersuit. An increase in range of possibilities for variety of human experience; just like other leaps forward in technology. Almost nobody is the best at anything, so losing that "best" spot means little to most.

That is something I thought about when your amazon echo butler robot is better than you at everything, what would it mean to human? What would you do with life?

Thought leaders in this space already view humans as useless, thus depopulationd agendas. Feudalism returns, universal basic income arrives, and whoever survives is either herded into UN smart cities or forced into the wilderness...

If it and the economy are aligned then we become as pets or zoo animals; given just enough toy-problems to keep our mental faculties stimulated.
If the economic system isn't aligned though, things get very tricky for the poor who don't own the ai.
Need capitalism-alignment too.
