“Theoretically, artificial superintelligence could possess humanity’s combined cognitive capacity. In contrast, superstupidity could take on multiple features, including overreliance on the underlying “intelligence” of these systems. For instance, believing that AI can be a proxy for our own understanding and decision-making as we delegate more power to algorithms is superstupid. Perhaps AI is also superstupid, and may cause mistakes, wrong decisions, or misalignment.”

“Everyone Needs a Compass Sooner or later, everyone needs a compass. Some discover this need at life’s peak, amidst success and wealth, only to find an emptiness that prestige cannot fill. Others hit rock bottom before they scream for help, their only option to look up. The point is not how we get there, but that we finally see our need. A person in darkness doesn’t interrogate their rescuer; a man in freefall doesn’t pause to study the hand that saves him. I was that person. I fought the truth until I had no fight left. I struggled with Jesus until my struggle made no sense. Standing at the cliff's edge, I finally asked for help. I needed a true compass. And in that moment, light flooded in, a peace I couldn’t explain overwhelmed me, and my path became clear.”
