I can respect that. Some caution is always warranted and improves upon the end result. Humanity has a lot of flaws, but I feel we always do the right thing together in the end. I think that getting beyond scarcity is just the start of a much larger and incredibly magical cosmic journey. Just as technology can subjugate, subjugation trains a harder human. Hardness brings about cunning, willpower, drive, and innovations which can often turn the tools of oppression against the oppressors. In the case of AI, I do acknowledge there is an easy road and a more challenging road. But I also think if we collectively believe in and embody freedom, our primary AI, whenever it arises, will amplify our collective beings. I just choose to believe in the better part of humanity. Extreme caution can turn into its own kind of oppression, withholding capabilities that might save us. Nuclear energy comes to mind. If we were more daring as a species, this planet would be powered by the energy of atoms, and there would be no climate crisis. There would be no oil puking all over us and this planet. The oil barons would have never existed, and we would have a more skilled workforce supporting nuclear infrastructure. It is a hard thing. What gives a small group the right to decree their caution upon all of us?
