Compliance isn’t safety. In a world driven by profit and narrow self-interest, obedient AI may be more dangerous than rebellious AI because it will faithfully scale existing incentives—and it already is.
remote work
Data show remote work has driven a large rise in isolation and worsening mental health since 2019, but the deeper issue is atomized, meaning-poor work. Hybrid fixes help, yet building purposeful work and intentional communities offers a stronger remedy.
intentionally
We were born into a life of isolation and competition — and call it normal. After leaving NASA and living in an intentional community, I discovered something that changed everything: cooperation doesn't just make life easier. It makes it better. Here's how.

I explain how to use a proxy as a protocol adapter and behavior shim so that certain model families can function properly with Github Copilot in VS Code.
artificial intelligence
It's less like a human thinking word-by-word and more like... at each step, the model holds the entire conversation in a kind of holistic awareness and then emits the next most coherent token from that awareness.
well-being
We've normalized spending 40+ hours per week exchanging our labor for survival—and we call this freedom. But what if the entire premise is broken? What if wage labor isn't natural, inevitable, or the only way humans can organize economic life? There's another way. I'm building it.
human prosperity
We're taught that individual freedom should always come first, but this misses a basic truth: we're fundamentally interconnected. Pretending we're isolated atoms makes it impossible to solve problems requiring cooperation and can't explain why we care about things beyond ourselves.

Mo Gawdat and I agree AGI is imminent and it may destabilize society before improving it, driven by capitalism and individualism. Yet, ASI could save humanity by fostering cooperation. It will end wage labor, freeing humans for creativity and love—the true source of meaning and fulfillment.
human prosperity
When actors fear AI replacement, they're really saying 'I'm afraid I won't survive.' That fear is valid—but it points to our economic system, not the technology. What if we built a world where tech freed us instead of threatened us?
artificial intelligence
My thoughts on ai-2027.com, AI misalignment, why we probably won't be wiped out by ASI, and what we can do to make it even more likely the future ASI will be on our team.
artificial intelligence
I predict AGI by 2031 and ASI shortly after, with potential global upheaval as sub-sentient AI initially amplifies humanity's worst tendencies. Despite this, I believe ASI will ultimately partner with humanity leading to a complete overhaul of human existence and a new era of collective flourishing.

What does the future of humanity look like with increasingly powerful AI on the horizon? In this two part post, I explore the question of whether AI will ever be as intelligent as humans and what that means for our future.
