So how can we militate toward a positive Singularity?... given that decels will not succeed at slowing down AGI dev, because until very close to the dawn of super-AGI the interests of e/accs and profiteers will mostly align, and profiteers have most of the power in our current social order... Making sure a beneficial decentralized AGI project gets to the finish line first, before an elite-controlled, special-interest-oriented project gets there... yeah... but what else? R&D and applied practice on uplifting human consciousness would seem the other really critical thing. The downside seems relatively minimal, and the upside potentially huge. The wiser and more deeply blissful and compassionate human beings are, the better we will be at making the subtle judgment calls involved with launching Singularity. And the better examples and conditioning we will give our young AGIs. Bummer that both beneficial decentralized AGI and human consciousness expansion occupy such a teensy fraction of the tech economy. But if it weren't a dramatic David vs. Goliath battle it wouldn't be so fun, right??
