My gosh, this is so good. A couple paragraphs in and I was genuinely baffled that this post only had 13 likes, you deserve thousands. I really appreciate the dialectic from the perspective of purity of argument over ideology, and your advocating for stronger, more substantive voices that aren’t reflexively critical. Even as an AI enthusiast, that line about how context slows you down reminds me to slow down as well. Reading a couple papers on superintelligence or supermoral rights doesn’t make me an expert, it just enhances my worldview for the potential arguments that exist. We really really need stronger voices on all sides to complicate the conversation a bit more so we can deliberate effortfully and with purpose. I loved your piece, and I genuinely hope to read more in the future!
Thanks so much! I'll be writing more about AI. I have an article on reasoning models coming out soon — not here, in an actual publication, but I'll share it here with some additional commentary that couldn't make it in the piece. As the technology accelerates, we need to think better thoughts about it.
Did you read David Auerbach’s fascinating dialogue with ChatGPT on ethical issues of its pretense to consciousness? I think you’d find it fascinating. He’s a philosopher and critic with a lot of experience as a programmer. Anyhow, glance at this?
