Hendrycks paper argues mutualistic human-AI future beats pure control strategies
xuanalogue · x · 2026-09-22
A new paper from Dan Hendrycks' team asks what happens when AIs become smarter than us and why they might keep humans around. Its core claim: control alone is a limited strategy, and a stable, mutualistic human-AI future may be achievable. Commenters note it works better as a theory of motivation than normative ethics, though it overlooks valuing others for their differences.
