I feel as if I am part of a performance in which a group of thinkers will build a sentient machine that may sweep us away, and others are trying to stop them. I don’t even know which group I am in. It does not matter. I want to be observing its birth while it happens.

Your analogy is rich in points of comparison. That's exactly why is does not explain away what you paraphrase as "outmodel". 1. Cows on farms are enslaved already, 2. Cows cannot form coalitions and wage war, 3. Farmers play by the cows' rules but slowly change them via selection

You seem to think of yourself as a free agent, but we are not. Almost all of homo sapiens is heavily domesticated. Especially our abilities to form coalitions and wage war are controlled. Cow and human rules are laws that the farmers discover, exploit and modify.
