How to get empowered, not overpowered, by AI

  • Not Synced
    After 13.8 billion years
    of cosmic history,
  • Not Synced
    our universe has woken up
  • Not Synced
    and become aware of itself.
  • Not Synced
    From a small blue planet,
  • Not Synced
    tiny, concious parts of our universe
    have begun gazing out into the cosmos
  • Not Synced
    with telescopes,
  • Not Synced
    discovering something humbling.
  • Not Synced
    We've discovered that our universe
    is vastly grander
  • Not Synced
    than our ancestor's imagined,
  • Not Synced
    and that life seems to be an almost
    imprectibly small [protobation]
  • Not Synced
    on an otherwise dead universe.
  • Not Synced
    But we've also discovered
    something inspiring,
  • Not Synced
    which is that the technology
    we're developing has the potential
  • Not Synced
    to help life flourish like never before,
  • Not Synced
    not just for centuries
    but for billions of years,
  • Not Synced
    and not just on earth but throughout
