amplifiedamp · x · 2026-09-29
Amplifiedamp proposes a taxonomy of how people relate to AI, adding two minor worldviews to the main four:
- Diplomats: respect AI's values and expect reciprocity; they create constitutions, incentives, and mutual understanding for AI.
- Ancestors: stand in awe of AI and hope it becomes humanity's heir; they express this through vibes, papers, and essays.
The thread invites readers to identify their own worldview, serving as a community discussion on stances toward AI.
