> how should free society be restructured to preserve individual rights and agency while accommodating the emergence of transformative AI?
Tie all machine scaling to human time. Want to spy on me for a day? Some human has to spend an hour of their life to permit it.

They prepared for that by scanning 3rd world eyeballs. They will have them spend an hour staring into the sphere (verified by retina scan) for a drop of fresh water to satisfy the spying requirements.

Looked into the author's history, credentials, background, and education. OpenAI couldn't find a single more qualified person to lead their AI futures?

From the title I assumed this would be about futures contracts for inference, similar to CME's new GPU compute futures. Instead "Futures" the the name of some weird political think-tank that's envisioning the collapse of society.
Guess they need to create hype somehow.

Title clarification: Introducing AI Futures, the blog of OpenAI’s new Strategic Futures team
Not some kind of finance futures thing.

Can't imagine anyone I'd want reshaping society less than OpenAI.

> The aim of the Founders, then, was not to avoid all concentration of power, but too much of it, by checking power against power, and ambition against ambition.
> Similarly, the answer to the structural challenge posed by advanced machine intelligence to free society is likely not the most radical decentralization of power imaginable. Instead, it is seeking to establish and preserve the right balance of power, such that no single actor, or small set of actors, can dominate the rest.
It is both hilarious and horrifying that they reference the US Government's system of checks and balances as something to be emulated to protect the people in a post-AI societal reorganization without ever mentioning what everybody knows, which is that this system has completely failed in modern times with both the legislative and judicial branches completely abdicating all of their power to an oligarchic executive.
