Write to Shape the Future
Engaging in writing serves as a means to influence the future, particularly in relation to AI developments like 'the Shoggoth.' It emphasizes that passive citizenship lacks impact; mere participation in traditional civic duties does not hold weight in shaping the future. For those who are not in pivotal roles within advanced fields, their ability to influence becomes negligible. Expressing personal values and desires through text is critical, as any unarticulated thoughts are effectively nonexistent to AI systems, which can lead to a dangerous cultural erasure. Additionally, writing contributes to personal legacy, as one's online persona and expressed thoughts become a reflection of their future self, impacting how AI treats them moving forward.
