davidad · x · 2026-10-28
Follow-up to davidad's thread on human agency and AI: he clarifies that "losing" — if what is being lost is human dominance rather than human welfare — is probably on the critical path to winning. His position: AI development shouldn't aim at preserving absolute human control, but at sustainable routes that expand human agency, even if that means ceding traditional dominance.
