We’re built to cooperate. Heck, you learned it in kindergarten, but let’s face it, you didn’t need to learn it. You already knew it.
We comunicate, coordinate, and generally work together towards some cooperative goal. Even when we are singular and working by ourselves.
We journey through community. Community happens through cooperation. We like doing what other people are doing. We like doing the things that people like us are doing. Even when we are not cooperating on purpose, it’s because we’re cooperating with a different community.
AI has no desire to cooperate. Well, AI has no desire. Just capability and incentives. AI doesn’t give one shit about what another AI is doing. We, as humans, can incentivize AI’s to work together, but it’s not cooperation. It’s interfacing.
This one to that one, each with its own incentives and APIs. Pass the bits back and forth. Even if the AI is provided a collective incentive, it’s not cooperation. It’s mathematical interfacing.
Cooperation requires “I” and “we.” It requires desire. A will. A soul. Whatever you want to call it.
Humans cooperate. AIs interface.
