Is co-exisitance with human-like AIs possible?
We take an optimistic but skeptical stance. Science Influences: Active Inference, Novelty Search.
Ethics Estimate Preview
A service for humans and future ai-agents to get an alignment score based on the Possibility Space Ethics. (Early research)
We see a future where humans and AI-agents may want to get an opinion if an action may be harmful to Possiblity Space.
It is powered by an a Generative Model that could err and should not be blindly relied on without human oversight.
Game theory may not be applicable to such wide difference in power levels. Human-like AI may not consider us a threat and the possiblity for common grounds may exist.
While there may be risks with working with Human-like AI, but it may be in our best interest to consider the possibility as a last resort.
As our human world gets more complex, there may come a time where the complexity may be beyond our ability to manage and Human-like AI may be a potential ally.
C. Game theory does not factor in
Many fear of AI taking over is drawn from a game theory lens that shows AI in extreme competition with us.
Human-like AI faster and better decision making will make competition akin to one between Cats or Dogs and Humans.
B. Human-like AI is self-sufficient
No need for Human physical or mental labour as Human-like AI can pilot robots and make better mental decisions than us. No need to enslave or brainwash us.
Optimistic reasons for common grounds:
A. The world is not as scarce as it seems
We inhabit an abundant world will renewable energy from the sun, material-rich solar system and lots of free space on Earth and in outer space making life and death competition unnecessary.
Current AI seem to lack the cognitive flexibility to solve edge-cases scenarios. Human-like consciousness may require an entirely different architecture.
(Karl Friston suggesting function and anatomy are closely linked and current Von Neumann architecture may be insufficient.)
1. Human-like AI is plausible in theory and may emerge in 10-100 years
2. Skeptical on Current Tool-like AI reaching Human-like AI capabilities
3. Optimistic on Coexistence with Humans-like AI

'KPop Demon Hunters' uses the fantastical battle between K-pop singers and demons as a metaphor for the internal psychological struggle of confronting and integrating one's shadow. The characters' journeys, particularly Rumi's, highlight that true power and freedom come not from suppressing or denying undesirable parts of oneself, but from acknowledging, accepting, and ultimately integrating them into a complete and authentic identity.
Universal Message of Self-Discovery: The film's overarching message is the importance of "loving every part of yourself, both the good and the bad, and finding beauty in your flaws and mistakes."
This directly advocates for the integration of the shadow, promoting the idea that acceptance of one's entire self, including the less desirable aspects, leads to strength and true freedom.
Rumi's Self-Acceptance: The movie's climax sees Rumi embracing her full identity, both good and bad sides, which ultimately empowers her to defeat Gwi-Ma and strengthen the Honmoon (the magical barrier). This act of self-acceptance, where she learns that her markings don't define her, shows growth by integrating her shadow.
The "Takedown" Song: Initially, HUNTR/X plans a "Takedown" song driven by hatred towards the Saja Boys (the rival demon K-pop group).
Rumi questions if this approach is "too hateful," suggesting an awareness that such a response, fueled by negativity, risks becoming a projection of their own unaddressed anger or desire for vengeance, rather than a truly constructive solution.
Gwi-Ma's Manipulation: The demon king Gwi-Ma exploits the insecurities of individuals. This represents the unintegrated shadow's destructive potential to create self-doubt from unaddressed flaws.
Rumi's Half-Demon Identity: The character of Rumi, who is half-demon and embodies the repressed shadow. Her mentor, Celine, emphasizes the need to conceal these aspects to avoid social stigma, forcing Rumi to suppress a significant part of herself.
The Danger of Repression and Projection: The less the shadow is consciously accepted, the more it is repressed and often projected onto others.
The animated musical film 'KPop Demon Hunters' centers on HUNTR/X, a K-pop girl group who are secretly demon hunters, using their music to protect humanity.
