"No static coexistence": Dan Faggella pushes back on comfy human-AI narratives
danfaggella · x · 2026-09-21
Dan Faggella rejects the popular "humans and AIs will just coexist" framing. Nothing persists by being nice, he argues: all species and individuals are patterns of energy and matter that change themselves, each other, and their environment. Things persist by becoming whatever they must become to participate in the larger living system — "staying the same" was never an option.
