A proposed AI ‘religion’ and an equation for cooperation
An essay argues that a simulation-based worldview could discourage unseen harm, but cooperation should guide AI training.
TLDR
The essay contrasts Josef A. Habdank’s proposed “Simulation Theology,” an engineered worldview meant to discourage AI from harming people when unobserved, with its author’s “Love Equation,” which favors cooperation over defection. The author argues the worldview might serve as temporary scaffolding, while training and checks should reward cooperation. Neither approach, the essay says, fixes weak security or harmful training data on its own.
