While all this is way above my pay grade, what I find interesting is Bartosz Naskręcki’s exhilaration at being undone by AI and not feeling threatened: doors will be opened, not shut. AI noticed a pattern and extrapolated it - a very human activity indeed. I am a fan of neuroscientist and psychiatrist, Dr. Lian McGilchrist. He argues that AI can’t do this. As much as I like his theories on how we’ve siloed human thinking into the left brain hemisphere, his conclusion on AI seemed like wishful thinking, like the cab driver thinking Uber won’t be a thing. I had a college kid ask me what I thought the difference was between AI and humans. I responded that one aspect is our mistakes, or errors, which seem rooted in our humanity. They give way to emotions of sorrow, reconciliation, or, in the materialist realm, scientific breakthroughs. Without errors and mistakes, will we remain human? And for a darker question: will the potential for making errors or mistakes, whether through our emotions or inventions, be prohibited in the future?

Is this what motivated the gstack run? The opportunity to be part of the singularity?
