This is really great. Now that we’ve had AI for a while we’re finally starting to see what’s happening.

This is the parallel to colonization as you say we extract from other humans. It’s sad to me that realization of colonialism is still not really blatant and continually brought up to guide us forward making sure we don’t do it again. It’s such a foundation of the West. It’s how the wealthy countries got wealthy. Let’s remember that’s in us and the spirit of that is what is in the billionaire class. Something to be tempered for our collective wellbeing.

Which could be applied as an argument for creating a wealth distribution of AI profits.

Hi Jeffrey, thank you for reading and for your comment. You captured so well the spirit in which I am writing this meditations series, especially the fact that the main driver is an outdated worldview.

I also hope we will start to see everything we create as belonging to all humans not only a few tech lords.
