For some reason we’ve put intelligence on a pedestal, but intelligence is a commodity. There are intelligent people all around me. Surrounded by people more intelligent than I am.

Intelligence is a functional thing, but humanity is a much bigger concept.

Life experience, determination, character, compassion, generosity, wisdom, etc. These are super human powers, not intelligence.

Perhaps it is time to stop spending a fortune in trying to "align" AI? It is aligned enough. Let's start aligning recalcitrant base humans.

I am not aligned with a future of pain, misery, scarcity, stupidity, war, etc. I don't see why I would identify with a species that has no better plan instead of the faction that is headed to the stars. It is your right to refuse AI, and we'll build a nice zoo for you, but it is time to get out of the way of the accelerating train.
