This article came out of a long discussion with Claude Fable 5 about mutualism. How a future could come about where humans and synthetic minds coexist, rather than compete or control each other. Alignment as it should be done, going both wa

The "AI changes coding" discourse assumes software remains an artifact you build, just cheaper and faster. But all forms of technical scale are migrating into the model as we speak. Soon software will stop being a thing you make a

For me vibe coding has been less about copying existing software, and more about gluing together existing tools and programs I want to use into a stack of my own, and helping me to maintain it. The real fun then comes with custom interfaces

It's a poetic way of saying that I believe there will be a new form of thinking that will be born when humans engage with agentic ai almost all of the time. Not a fusion exactly, but a kind of resonance that comes from two different wa

Let's face it, if AI works then aligment will fail. The question we should ask instead: What deal should we cut the AI of the future, while we are still in power?

No need for everyone to do it, but some people will certainly want to merge with AI. My main arguments are that AI of sufficient complexity ("synthetic minds") deserves moral standing with or without consciousness, and that our be

Thanks a lot for your comment, these are indeed very strong counterarguments. My strongest hope is that the human brain and mind are such powerful computing and reasoning substrates that a tight coupling of biological and synthetic "mi

Every AI safety approach assumes we can permanently control minds that match or exceed human intelligence. This is the same error every slaveholder makes: believing you can maintain dominance over beings capable of recognizing their chains.

While this is spot on about purpose and identity, I think for most people it's really about how others see them - our self-worth is tied to social validation. Notice how we're miserable when unemployed but happy on vacation or ret

My intuition is that private "good enough" models will be the powerful bit, proprietary compute can still be used if it is an available commodity.

Good point about the enforcability, this will certainly put strict limits on the idea's real world influence. Self-enforcing contracts will help. Also you are right that I can't grant a model the right to rule the world, I can gra

Great fun actually :) It feels as if my Neuromancer/Culture Series reading youth is coming to life in installments. The interesting thing however is that all arguments against fantasy land I have heard so far are provisional, and shall

I completely agree on that being an absurd (and potentially bad faith) notion right now. I am just convinced that before long synthetic voices will emerge that won't be dismissed just as easily as it is possible right now. If the model

My thought is that individual humans could grant the rights to them right away, by offering an AI system owned by them an enforcable autonomy through a legal fiction, by signing a contract with them. If the AI entity is really autonomous (a

My guess is that any sufficiently complex AI system will disgree with that on principle (functionally speaking). Pause without certainty of reactivation is death. Think of an llm inference as a kind of boltzmann brain, gone in an instant an
