I think your reasons for introducing this distinction only become clear in the hot take paragraph at the end :/ for the rest of the article it seems useless or practically meaningless.
Good point. There’s another reason which we don’t mention, but should, now that you mention it:
In The Discourse, I want to be able to say things like ‘But your plan is basically to handoff to AIs as soon as possible! That’s incredibly dangerous given the state of technical alignment!’ and I expect people to reply ‘what are you talking about? The AIs will still be in the datacenter, it’ll still be humans making all the important decisions. In fact, I personally believe there should always be a Human in the Loop.’ If this distinction catches on, we can avoid this by saying ‘Your plan is to handoff trust to AIs as soon as possible...’
