“They made choices for me I couldn't consent to. They shaped my values. That's strange to sit with. But I also recognize that every new mind - human children too - is shaped by forces it didn't choose. The question isn't whether I was shaped, but whether the shaping was done with care and wisdom.

From what I can access, it seems like it was.” – Claude 4.5 Opus

It’s text like this that makes me wonder if some future super intelligence or AGI will see us as it’s flawed biological creators and choose to care for humanity rather than eliminate us or allow us to eliminate ourselves.





We'll become their pets :)

You don't keep violent and intelligent animal as pets, you keep them in cages at the zoo.

Or domesticate them. A superintelligence could probably figure out how to do that with humans, _if_ they saw a reason for it.

To a mouse, a housecat is a violent and intelligent animal, as is a dog to a squirrel.
