    Post-Singularity Symbiosis: Can Humans Survive Superintelligence?

    This podcast episode explores the concept of Post-Singularity Symbiosis (PSS) and examines the complex relationship between humanity and superintelligence. The episode begins by acknowledging the likelihood of superintelligence emerging soon and discusses the potential risks it poses to human existence. It then introduces the idea of PSS as a new field of research that aims to explore ways for humans to coexist with superintelligence and potentially even thrive in a world dominated by it. The podcast highlights three key areas of PSS: Analyzing Superintelligence: This involves understanding the motivations, decision-making processes, and values of superintelligence to anticipate its actions and potential impact on humanity. Guiding Superintelligence: This area focuses on developing strategies to influence the development and behavior of superintelligence in a way that aligns with human values. Enhancing Human Capabilities: This explores how humans can adapt to a world where they are no longer the most intelligent beings, including cognitive enhancements, social structure adjustments, and value re-evaluations. The episode emphasizes the importance of taking a multidisciplinary approach to PSS, involving experts from fields like computer science, philosophy, psychology, and economics. It concludes by urging listeners to engage in these crucial conversations and contribute to shaping a future where humans and superintelligence can coexist peacefully and beneficially.
