Thoughtfully written. I'm glad you & others are pondering these things. Nothing can be silo'd; working on AI is also working on the interconnected AI-human-Earth system. The goal is not an empty, unresponsive stasis that encodes the average early 21st-century attitude into models, but to design a robust, responsive, multifaceted system that can integrate multiple perspectives flexibly and safely. Much harder, but more worth doing. And to do it with taste? An individualized aesthetic quality that inherently differs from the average? Downright herculean. But even more worth trying for!
