of course due to feedback all shared prophecies may be very wrong! Projects like Manus are slowly making it more normal for people to have AI systems that can accomplish tasks and build things. As this becomes normal, some people may slowly migrate to protecting themselves from misuses of it, using it. [[[(there's a general space of life creation, of strong power, that exists in evolution, where people need to establish appropriate boundaries (bodies, shelters) and norms of non-harm, shared resource usage, etc (laws, claws, hides, wings, ecological niches, jobs...)]]] In a potential space where most humans live in some kind of bomb shelter or spaceship and work together on preventing people's freedoms and urges from making a robot borg empire that eradicates everything, there's a shared unity in human's need to evolve safely. But there are conflicts in areas that are less urgent for the survival of the universe -- whether some people have control over other people, and what is protected or caused in the areas outside of the bunkers or spaceships. In a worst case scenario, we would get predatory, and harvest weaker civilizations for their resources as if they were space rocks simply because we can. We don't have to have that future. [[of course a real world system is heterogeneous and things are different and diverse everywhere, although this can require going to new planets for spaces we don't succeed in protecting that sufficiently in]] So basically, the most important thing is _effective diplomacy_. This isn't always written or verbal communication -- most autonomous beings do not effectively speak shared languages. But it can mean written or verbal communication. It means learning to work together productively and effectively, building approaches to goals in larger systems that harmonize rather than clash, and people having the information needed to do so themselves, etc etc. This is where the real power and utility lies. And if we don't do it, we get wars. We've been evolving for eons. We can figure this out. But we need to remember to do so!
