Are you looking for what people want (“like”), or what people expect?
The main productive value will be if evolution can produce new capabilities, and/or implement existing capabilities with far fewer resources.
Probably also a lot more insight into alignment, and a lot more clumsy failed attempts that we can study.
I don’t think either is “good” per-se, but it might force society to take the whole situation more seriously.
My main concern is that it puts a very sharp floor on how much we can slow down. It would take global coordination to rebuild the internet into something safe from self-replicators, and my odds on that sort of cooperation are still fairly low. US-China is a lot easier than “every nation that has substantial data centers / servers”
I was looking more for what the ecological perspective explains or hopes to explain about AI. What aspects of AI does ecological theory want to explain, and how can we get there? _rpd’s comment was helpful and I am appreciative.
