“I hate it when people say humanity’s problems will be solved by ‘artificial superintelligence’ as though all we need to fix the cruelty and abusiveness in our world is an AI that is smarter than a human. … [Mark Zuckerberg] said the following in a statement titled ‘The Future is for Everyone — The Path to a Positive AI Future’: ‘In the next few years, people will be able to use superintelligence beyond human capacity to create and discover extraordinary new things, build new businesses, express new ideas, learn new concepts, and advance our health and quality of life. As we get closer to this moment, it is important to develop a philosophy for how we can best use superintelligence to ensure it improves all of our lives, work, communities, freedom and safety.'” (09/29/26)
