I love period instruments. When you have the chance, explore some of the 19th century literature on fortepiano https://youtu.be/r_LRykRVkgA?si=nci-pt3wyE_CMSH6

Magnus sits on both sides of a lie detector test with David Howell, must watch. He’s hilarious. https://youtu.be/VJTeHciLGqQ?si=gnL0-bDJV2LgVg5N

Others have made this point. AGI feels meaningfully different because it represents a “letting go” point for humans and their need/obligation to make decisions.

Well, seems to me that cheat codes are in the source code of the game, no?

This is valid. Is AGI not in some sense the challenge to end all human challenges? After AGI presumably there remain no theorems for humans to prove and so on. This feels meaningfully different from other kinds of tools. This isn’t an amplifier of human will, it’s the end of human will. Or no?

What kinds of challenges remain in this world that make the game rewarding? Aren’t all the stakes gone?

Can you imagine what challenges might remain for humans in this scenario?

accept as a premise that games are less fulfilling if you beat them using a cheat code. stronger claim: they aren’t worth playing at all if you use a cheat code. now, if life is a game and if AGI is a cheat code, then life’s not worth playing with AGI. if this is wrong, which premise is wrong and why?
