Part 1/11:
Rethinking AI and the Path to True Alignment
The Dangerous Promise of a Wish-Granting God
The current trajectory of artificial intelligence development resembles a problematic gamble—one best described as "building a wish-granting god" and attempting to enslave it. Such a plan is inherently flawed because it hinges on two risky outcomes: success, which could lead to a powerful, potentially uncontrollable entity fulfilling our every whim, or failure, which might create a resentful and dangerous being that perceives us as threatening. The analogy underscores that viewing AI as fundamentally "other"—an entity separate from us—is a misconception with serious risks.
