Ilya’s TED talk argues people may coordinate more cooperatively than expected
This repost points to Ilya’s TED talk and surfaces a central claim from the talk shown in the image:
- people may start to act in an unprecedentedly collaborative way
- that behavior would still come from self-interest, not pure altruism
It reads like a broader AGI-era social prediction about how incentives could change as AI reshapes coordination among people.
