    Cool. So the first defense we have against AI is coming from the “shit we made up long ago” corner

      Basically the opposite. The guy is a Humanist. Humanism is basically the opposite of established religion like you’re thinking. They focus on the belief that humans are ultimately responsible for their own autonomy and progress and that our morals and ethics can be defined from the fact we are social beings who ultimately must rely on each other. Humanism tends to emphasize science and human agency.

      I’d argue that humanism is a bit different from, say, Christianity. It has ancient philisophilcal roots, but it’s not like humanists are following texts from some crazy asshole tripping balls in a desert 2000 years ago.
