this article sucks and completely misses nietzsche in a lot of ways.
he talks of the Overman but doesn't connect it to AI or the genealogy of morals.
"thus as you are to the ape, so should the Overman be to you" -- with the idea that our morals and everything we believe, while sharing some bits with the ape, is also far different. What does an ape know about the DMV, or option calls?
So too will the AI be to us. It will practice instead of black and white morality, blue vs. orange. True AGI will either be totally alien and rage against us, a la The Terminator, or else hit a singularity and politely fuck-off a la the movie Her.
“You have made your way from worm to man, and much in you is still worm.”
