jessi_cata · x · 2026-09-11
A satirical exchange on AI pause advocacy: asked what to do during a pause, the answer is "human genetic cognitive enhancement so super babies can solve alignment" — "I disagree, but at least you're trying." The author also frames three worldviews: technology as positive-sum (conventional), zero-sum (differential tech development — galaxy-brained yet plausible), and negative-sum (Luddite, not even coherent).
