    The choice between centralizing and dispersing power in AI

    Another post predicts AI will become “our interface to the world” and accuses people seeking sweeping controls out of fear of catastrophe of working to create a surveillance state.

    TLDR

    One post argues that AI is not going away or even slowing down, barring “unprecedented global government coordination.” It frames the central choice as concentrating power or dispersing it, asking whether people fear the technology itself or a few people controlling it. Quoting that post, another predicts AI will become “our interface to the world” and argues that people pursuing “Orwellian control” based on fears of catastrophe are working to create a surveillance state.

    Naveen Rao@NaveenGRao"What's your P(doom)?" was an en vogue question about 2 years and fell out of favor in 2026. I hope this is because everyone wised-up to realize any sufficient intelligence likely won't be centralized; there will be factions fighting for status, scarcity, resources. So it won't be "humans vs machines" but many intelligences, of which humans are one, each with their own alliances competing with each other. Today we have "West vs East" but later it'll be something else. The universe is adversarial but the technology and energy of competing will just keep escalating. This adversarial nature keeps power in check. What's more, each faction is not perfectly siloed; information about plans and technology leak due to misaligned incentives. This has a stabilizing effect; it's hard for 1 power to run away with all the power. That power eventual fades to the rebels and balance is returned. The only thing we can bet on is that the human experience will continue to change; it'll be augmented and extended. I'm here for it.30d
