This is just alien thinking to me and probably many others. You are saying that you are willing to submit your whole agency to an AI because it makes better decisions? What makes the life worth living then?

AI is starting to outdo humans at forecasting events and trends. If you run a hedge fund, for example, and you have an AI that makes decisions that lead to 10% better returns, would you rely on your brain? What about a clothing company following fashion trends? A military predicting troop movement?

As long as there's an element of competition, you need to take advantage and remove the human from the loop if they're the bottleneck.

Add to that the tendency of people to take the solution that's easy in the moment, and not the long term best option, and yes, I think a lot of people will outsource their thinking.

As for what makes life worth living? Enriching the wealthy, if you look at the actions if the tech industry. The world we're heading to seems like a hell.

  • Ah I failed to notice that we were talking about decisions on a company level. Sure, it will devolve into AI vs AI.

    Hmm I don't agree with this, many people will want to live instead of longevitymaxxing like Bryan Johnson.

    We agree.
