Mechanize

I don't want to live in a world where AI transcends humanity. I don't think anyone does.

AI companies want to build Superintelligent AI. They admit they don’t know how to control it. Common sense says this is a bad idea. By default, we all lose our jobs. In the worst case we all die. Counter-arguments increasingly boil down to “It’s inevitable”. It’s not.

Should we create agents that fully take over people's jobs, or create AIs that merely assist human workers? This is a false choice. Full automation is inevitable, whether we choose to participate or not. The only real choice is whether to hasten the inevitable, or to sit it out.
