I think the second half of the section "The promise of dystopia" is the most likely. Infrastructure for AI will collapse before it can materialize civilization-transforming attributes. Localized AI wouldn't have enough input to do what even the current generation is doing. Could be helpful in planning as you said, but that assumes power generation remains steady enough to do so, and I have a hard time imagining us generating enough excess power above and beyond whatever is needed just for survival.

This is the first of your work that I read, and you appear to be taking on some huge topics here. Restacked this and subscribed , thank you.
Thank you!
I just published an essay highly related to this called Artificial Intelligence and Living Wisdom: https://tmfow.substack.com/p/artificial-intelligence-and-living
Let me know if you find it relevant!
i meet very smart people all the time
that fail to do the simple math
i am guessing it is because
they are averse to unpleasant answers
~
people talk about ai turning evil
and it is an interesting topic
but we already know
the position of CEO filters
for the ten percent of us
that can not model the emotions of others
well enough to make people seem real in the mind
~
sociopaths inside the delusion of the material
demons
are already telling ai
to do their worst to us every day
and once you see it
you can see that we are already pretty deep
into a humanity ending war
