> ultimately we humans are creating these systems, running them, enabling them, the depend on us to exist and function, and we are responsible for the consequences of all df that.

That's true today. I don't think that will always remain true into the future.

Right now there's a huge focus on recursive self-improvement. I think another big threshold that's equally as important to keep an eye on and care about is self-sustenance. Part of sustaining yourself often puts you in a cooperative relationship with some and an adversarial relationship with others.

If we want to make different choices today, the best thing we can do is grok what the consequences could be on a deeper level before we cross those thresholds.
