The "Autocomplete for Life" fram really struck me. McCord's point about how offloading decisoins causes atrophy feels spot on, we're essentially outsourcing the very process that makes us autonomous. What's interesting is how this ties back to Marcus Ryu's observation about the first-person vs third-person tension. Maybe the real risk isn't just that AI optimizes our choices, but that it collapses that productive tension between subjective experience and objective reality.

Thanks for sharing. I may be wrong, but for Nick Bostrom, it sounds in the interview like he said “religious, uh, theological” and the “between” was just a false start. If that’s right, he would have been saying that there were parallels between deep utopia and theological/religious thought, rather than between theological and religious thought.

Thanks, all added to the reading list, although I must admit I’m extremely sceptical of any attempt to paint Hegel in a positive light.
