The Hydrogen Sonata

You can Google it and just read the passage for yourself.

It's a little too long to read on this podcast, but it's from his novel, The Hydrogen Sonata.

It's just this devastatingly pointed and funny bit about how some societies realize there are just problems that you can't solve with regular old modeling.

What we're going to have to do, since we have super powerful conscious AI, is we're going to have to model every single person in this world that we want to create to test a model of something.

And you can always tell a moral society from an immoral society based on whether they treated these simming creatures, simming bots as slaves or not.

And I'm not saying that Anthropic has created that the agents are alive or that they're conscious or not.

What I'm saying is, Read any science fiction novel, Werner Wenge, William Gibson.

These guys have been thinking about this stuff.
