A viewer recommends 'Pantheon' for thinking through the singularity
One viewer praises the show’s exploration of economic, political and social change when intelligence operates at computer speed and scale—but notes differences between its uploaded minds and real-world AI agents.
TLDR
A viewer’s September 9 recommendation makes the case that 'Pantheon' could help people understand the effects of “computers that can use themselves.” They praise its treatment of the transition to a post-singularity world, while drawing two distinctions from AI at the time: in their account, the show’s uploaded intelligences have stable, independent goals that real-world agents lack, while running many instances of the same intelligence is much more constrained in the show than in real life.
