When you shine your attention on them, they stand out and keep your attention. - John Vervaeke [00:02:12] “So much of this first generation of AI is an environment, the large scale curation algorithms of social media are what s organizing our experience online. It s not a human being, but it s playing this role of orchestrating a lot of our experience and people s development. And so creating an optimal AI or an optimal environment would be trying to foster optimal agency, optimal meaning, which is really optimal wellbeing as well.” -Mahon McCann [00:38:23] “I think part of steeling the culture is to get the people within the AI industry [to] drop the sorcerer myth. Drop it. Disidentify with it. Take up the sage mythology. Take that up. That is the way we can do what you want, but in a way that isn t going to set us on a path to destruction. -John Vervaeke [00:59:16] — 0:00 Introduction to AI Alignment and the Mean .
