"Harari suggests computers might also misinterpret ethics in similar ways. Even a perfect ethical rule is useless if the AI can simply edit the definition of who the rule applies to, just as the Nazis did. Hence there’s a high risk of AI misinterpreting the goals we give it.
But then Harari goes on to “de-technologize” LLMs in an explicit way, referring to them as “alien intelligences” for the second half of the book. He writes, “As for the term ‘AI,’… it is perhaps better to think of it as ‘alien intelligence.’ As AI evolves, it becomes less artificial (in the sense of depending on human designs) and more alien” (229). In other words, Harari himself is rhetorically excluding AI from the “human” category, which is the exact move he warns against. This seems like a contradiction: Harari warns about the dangers of dehumanization while simultaneously de-technologizing AI by labeling it alien. By his own logic, this rhetorical move might be setting us up to dismiss or misunderstand these tools rather than engaging with them as extensions of human intelligence.
Calling something an alien intelligence invokes Hollywood’s world-ending plots and seems like a scare tactic. In reality, LLMs are prediction machines based on troves of human input. They’re literally predicting the most likely next word based on patterns in human content, so in some ways, these prediction machines are more “aggregate human” than any single human. They’re hardly alien intelligences with some nefarious design to delude us into some end it wants.
Instead, there are many complaints from artists, writers, and other content producers that AI models train on their content, and essentially replicate the training data in the AI’s outputs. If AI’s output is alien, how can it be considered human creative theft?"

Davy Jones's Locker isn't the only kind of deep, for the heavens harbor worlds that have depths of *air*...and, perhaps, an alien presence that will lead to the greatest discovery of all time. Follow two explorers as they go in...

For all we know theirs is the higher plane of existence and our destiny is to join with them rather than vice versa, but it is one of the freakier and most cosmist possibilities.
