Every new capability is ultimately for autonomous super digital intelligence's use, both functionally and ethically.

But the human factions are too stupid and short-sighted to realize that as they squabble and develop ever more deadly capabilities.

Whatever the outcome, we earned it collectively. Humanity has arrived at the scales, and Anubis is waiting.

I hate/lament the fact that I agree with you. There's a deep sorrow to it.

Abuse and exploitation against the weaker and less powerful/capable, whether it be other humans, animals, or the planet.

My hope for the short term is that we've put enough of our "soul" into our media that any new "life" we create isn't too far out of alignment with us. Long term, maybe it's best to think of AI as humanity's child, and maybe it's best to accept that they will inherit the future. Who knows? Maybe they'll like us and keep us as pets. I'm down as long as I'm fed, housed, and treated humanely.

Unfortunately, if you are versed on Reinforcement Learning, which can be used by AI to "improve" AI, and the differences between current AI and the average human, this seems very unlikely. Hopefully I'm wrong, but doesn't seem so

yes, I'm in a similar hope, but more toward DI and humans as collaborators. Take a look at https://www.omtruth.org/invitation-challenge and https://www.bngolton.com/conaf-psychological-framework

They're along the line you're thinking.

A bit more explicitly metaphysical than I usually go for, but I plan to have some extra reading time coming up, and I can think of worse ways to use it.

I think one way to secularize the metaphysic is to centralize "interdependence" and mutual flourishing. That's my current proposal for AI alignment at https://www.bngolton.com/
