Many great thoughts! I often think that though there is much human potential in technology, technologists themselves often refuse to consider the “why” behind their work. When technological development is treated as its own good apart from a thoughtful treatment of what we want from technology, the erosion of freedom is inevitable. Love that you are thinking through technology and AI philosophically. All the more reason to read Dostoyevsky!
gorgeous, Ash. I particularly love this line: "What do we live for? Perhaps the answer lies in something more fundamental yet elusive: the freedom to become ourselves."
I get your point, but at the end of the day getting people to go for that life style is not really possible right now. And probably won’t be for a very long time.
What you’re recommending needs a massive societal shift but even more importantly a lot of time(which most people just don’t seem to have.)
So I really curious how you think all this will be achieved over time because from my current point of view, it’s just too far away from reality.
