“On the one hand, it’s not difficult at all for me to imagine an algorithm that could beat the pants off the smartest human when it comes to making decisions. We are not, classically, as a species, all that great at making choices that lead to the outcomes we say we want. Or even the outcomes we clearly do want. We are predictably irrational. We have all kinds of cognitive biases. I wrote a little about this not long ago in Cathy reads books: Enlightenment 2.0 review. On the other hand, I guess I’m enough of an AI scaremonger to be wary of things potentially going awry in a world in which one or several bots make all major decisions for humanity.” (03/25/26)
