"There's no destiny": Sunil Pai on agency and shaping AI's future
threepointone · x · 2026-09-11
Sunil Pai (@threepointone) posted two notes on "agency": the big things in the world aren't a given — they take work and are driven by a few perseverant people. He argues there is no fate or destiny, that people have free will and the strength to affect change, and that we should act like it as a species. He hopes model companies realize this and work toward good outcomes.
