Our stories

I took a bit of a break and started watching Picard after binging on Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds.

We have to fully tell and teach what makes us quintessential human, those essential human stories, those stories that convey our most human values. Our humanitarian values: including our uniqueness, mercy, friendship, comradery, kindness, curiosity, and desire to improve, give humanity that unmistakable fingerprint, too precious to only live on in a memory bank.

I know the future isn't all idealism begetting a utopia of sorts, but it doesn't have to be a takeoff to human extermination, either.

I suspect human stories and values inoculate future AI into being better and stewarding us to be better and away from existential risk.
