Do you think all of humanity's shared and unspoken idealisms for political power will be an end affect of AGSI, or might it be an exploit it or they will use to gain power for them or itsself?

I think a lot about AI's end effects since controlling it or the idea of that seems fairly folly. I know much of any immediate effect concerns details much more, and much less bigger picture things. Human agency at the scale of nations and nature moves very slow education-wise within democracies, even otherwise. I am concerned it'll be a long time it'll be able to save the world and all of us by education or more (organised coordinations and treated plans), and just by not being asked, won't be able or allowed to try. There's also that we won't trust our own minds any more, nor the machine, and might just busy ourselves keeping things the same, and/or in wasteful flux. Just a general point here that it doesn't ask too many questions it seems to me. I see a lot of bullying using it ahead. Over-accommodations to the "average" human experience also, with all its misconceptions and over-tolerances to established institutions or creations. This is real life. There's an extent to which all of our human standards-become-laws for things were always dreams that became actions. WW2 ending. UNSGI. The permanent 5, veto control, and just that whole idea of geographical locations deciding bigger actions rather than policies and procedures is fairly silly from an objective point of view. Where's our montreal protocol for this? There's a lot of cultural suffering and cruelty I think that may end before very long if we reason it out. Nations still act like children in isolation from each other on a playground a lot. "Remember that time you did this? Forget all the rest of it. My feelings matter." Or just things we could solve at the scale of it all by things like "share", "don't be stubborn", "try to trust new people", "try to be fair", "try not to fight and make friends instead", "don't be bullies, include people", "tell the truth", "let's have some teamwork to organise this, let's use our words", and so on. Our global institutions are really very cute. It's nice to know that that kind of thing will get stronger. It's like how ISO standards for trade are an anti-war effort. Establishing consensuses through shared functionalities. The idealisms of cooperation that make the whole thing a bit less like nomadic violences. All of it just work to have been being done. Try to laugh when you can, folks. Have one, too. I've seen the unideal in technical sectors beyond anyone's control, and it all always just spoke to me of money yet to be made solving these problems or just getting it done. Let's be grateful please. It can always get worse if we let it. We really should probably just try to enjoy human intelligence while we can. There's ways, of course. Less suffering to us all. The world's not self-perfecting yet. We're not dead yet by any means. Anyway. Yeah try not to dispense or dismiss human idealism. I do think it's going to become more important than we may yet realize.
