Investor Stewart Alsop: You Are in a Recursively Self-Improving Dyad With Your AI
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-10-19
Investor Stewart Alsop III argues we're in a dyad relationship with our cognitive prosthetics — it's the human+AI pair that recursively self-improves, with humans as the bottleneck and creativity as the only way forward. He claims labs market systems as autonomous to offset legal liability onto the public (invoking corporate personhood history, e.g., the Santa Clara County case), while anyone using these systems knows they still make serious mistakes, especially under quantization from server load. He cites Ellul's Technological Society on means without ends, noting humanity has been recursively self-improving for millennia — 'not at this scale though, that part will be face melting.'
