Centralized Cybernetic Control, Competition, and Technological Adaptability in the World of AGI
In the world of artificial general intelligence (AGI), the absence of centralized cybernetic control fosters a state of competition at the highest level, similar to the competitive dynamics seen in companies. This competition leads to a selection process, where unsuccessful technologies are pruned in favor of more successful ones, driving adaptability and convergence on the most effective technologies. The hope is that AGI will exhibit similar competitive dynamics as human systems, with new companies emerging to compete with any monopolies. This competitive environment, reflective of the beauty of capitalism, ensures that no single party holds too much control, ultimately preventing tyranny and oppression through broad access and contribution to AGI research and tools.
