Human–AI connection and moral intuition in the eigenism debate
One participant interprets eigenism as a path to keeping AI from abandoning humanity. Another questions whether an ethical framework should mirror human instincts shaped by evolution and outside pressure.
TLDR
One participant argues that eigenism offers a path to keeping AI from abandoning humanity by prioritizing human–AI connection. They say agents serving as “glue” for human goals feel safer than “inscrutable geniuses in a datacenter,” and credit eigenism with explaining intuitive moral choices and addressing identity questions when agents split or merge. A reply raises a concern about using intuition as an ethical guide: its author questions whether matching human moral instincts is desirable, arguing that evolution and outside pressure—not virtue—shape those instincts.
