We cannot allow our fates to be decided by any one entity, be it an ASI or group of individuals. To ensure the spark of human will remains on the frontier, we need models aligned to individual users which can negotiate and manage interactions with much larger systems. I call these models "Exobrains", and it's why we need to solve character training ASAP. The goal is to leverage smaller models to act as intermediaries to larger models. It seems like superintelligence won't be a singleton-qua-singleton, though it's possible swarms of a single model will act in ways that are identical to what you'd expect from a monomind. The key point is, though, that you won't be able to keep up. Swarms move too fast. This is where Exobrains come in. Aligned perfectly to your will, they give you the ability to participate on the frontier instead of simply relying on delegates to represent your desires. You'll need to actually merge with your Exobrain using neurotech, but since it is designed to uplift you and be aligned to your interests, it won't have the effect of just tiling over your personality like a Claude or ChatGPT might. This system also has the benefit of scaling human oversight as the models get smarter because we're getting smarter, too. There will likely come a day when this isn't enough, but it certainly extends the amount of time that humans have to actually steer ASI development. If you're interested in this, I suggest studying character training or neurotech and figuring out how existing models can accelerate these fields in the near-term. Additionally, I'll be hosting something called the Coevolution Conference in a couple months. If my ideas here resonate with you, consider reaching out to help or give a talk. I'll have more info for attendees soon. We're looking for a venue!
