Curated. I think I like this post as a general reflection more than when it’s tied back to AI (it’s relevant to that, just, I like it as general reflection. It reminds me of Is Success the Enemy of Freedom? (Full) and opens up interesting questions of fun theory, questions of challenge and play as your capabilities grow either enough to be risky or simply that the challenges don’t remain.
The point with Ai is interesting too. How much is human habit to keep pushing until something bad happens? In many domains, it’s an easy extrapolation that something bad will happen (we don’t want the river stopped or people hit with effective arrows), but AI while seeming obviously a serious threat to others has never been that bad yet, and so gets debated.
