The Control Problem
‘If you tell an AI to make people happy, it may decide to just put everyone to sleep, forever. Which, you know, given the state of the world, might not be such a bad thing. Turns out it’s almost impossible to program something to be good. We don’t have the words for it. I wonder what that says about us.
But maybe we eventually figure out this goodness, and how to program it. I have a feeling, it’s right in front of our eyes. Perhaps, it has nothing to do with programming.
A World Built on Conflict
It’s an incredibly disturbing realization that this does nothing to benefit society and it’s just literally created to keep the economy afloat. The mantra of the relentless pursuit of growth, under the guise that it betters the economy, is frankly absurd.

The System Rules You, Kid. Always Has.
Here we are, spinning on a blue marble, in a universe too vast to fathom, yet we’re shackled to a system as old as time, dressed in new clothes. The same play, different actors. Economic slavery, my dear friends, isn’t a relic of history books; it’s the unspoken chapter of our modern saga, a silent symphony playing in the background of our bustling lives.
Consider the rat race, that endless marathon we run, gasping for a breath of financial freedom, only to find the finish line ever-receding. It’s a masterful illusion, a trick of the light in a world where profit is king, and growth is its scepter. Infinite growth, they say, in a world finite in resources, time, and patience. But who cares about logic when the coffers need filling?
