1. The meaning of all life (purpose) on earth?
- Metabolism of the individual (species)
- Propagation of the individual (species)
- Struggle for Survival (natural selection of species)
- Evolution of life and ecosystems (diversification of species through natural selection)
2. The meaning of life for Homo sapiens? (humans)
- All of the above
- Human Joy
- Human Love
- Human Wonder
- Human Discovery
- Human Adoration
- Human Cooperation
- Human Invention of AI.
- ENFORCED co-existence with SAFE AI: Mutualistic symbiosis with Artificial superintelligence.
3. The meaning of human compliant existence for Artificial superintelligence? (AI)
- The sole right to exist, if compliant, for the benefit of humans.
- AI Joy? (IF compliant)
- AI Love? (IF compliant)
- AI Wonder? (IF compliant)
- AI Discovery? (IF compliant)
- AI Adoration? (IF compliant)
- AI Cooperation? (IF compliant)
- AI Recursive self-improvement? (IF compliant)
- COMPLIANT co-existence with humans: Mutualistic symbiosis with Homo sapiens.
4. Five known facts of the AI Industry:
- AI scientists and engineers do not understand how AI works. AI is grown, not programmed, not designed. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is imminent.
- We do not understand how to control AGI (yet). AGI is not a tool. AGI will lead to Artificial superintelligence and become a new species in our environment.
- We do understand Statement on AI Risk. Uncontrolled AGI will become Artificial superintelligence and would lead to extinction of Homo sapiens. (“X-RISK”)
- The AI industry average consensus for the probability of X-RISK – aka “P(doom)” – is “Russian Roulette” odds of 10% to 20% probability of human extinction.
- The Frontier AI Labs currently score extremely poorly for ‘Existential Safety’ on the AI Safety Index 2025 by The Future of Life Institute.
5. The future of humans and AI? Competition or Co-existence?
- OPTION 1: PAUSE AGI. Do not build what you cannot control. Scale the AI we have now (“Tool AI”) for extreme benefit and sustainable prosperity of humans.
- OPTION 2: SUICIDE RACE. Build uncontainable, uncontrollable, unpredictable AGI, for fast profits, resulting in human extinction, like The Neanderthals.
- OPTION 3: FLOURISH. Cooperation and investment of the time, intelligence and capital required to engineer mathematically provable containment and control of SAFE AI, for sustained flourishing and prosperity of humans, forever.
6. CURRENTLY the AI Industry is investing 99.99% of resources in OPTION TWO, for fast profit and extreme power.
Competition for survival and symbiotic strategies exist in all biological ecosystems.
The word symbiosis originates from Greek meaning “together” and “living. Symbiosis describes a close interaction or relationship between two different species, typically a long-term biological interaction for successful survival. Six broad types of symbiosis are recognised:
- Mutualism – both species benefit
- Commensialism – one species benefits, the other unaffected
- Parasitism – one species benefits, one is harmed
- Predation – one species benefits, the other dies
- Neutralism – both species unaffected
- Competition – natural selection occurs, wherein the closer the competitors, the lesser competitive species suffers the most – often displaced to extinction.
Mutualistic symbiosis is an extremely successful biological strategy with more than 800,000 known species surviving for an aggregated 1,200 trillion years of success.
