Thought

It is impossible to predict how AI Era1 will unfold due to huge number of factors acting simultaneously. It is unclear which technologies to learn, which skills to chase, and to what one should dedicate their (not endless) resources and ability to learn. It is not obvious how to beat an anxiety and uncertainty in a rapidly changing reality. It is not quite clear whether CEOs are visionaries or just morons blinded by their boundless greed and why "experts" provide such a dramatically different expertise and predictions.

It is frighteningly unclear which choices would be good enough to survive. But if for at least a moment we cope our fears, it becomes clear that some of our choices are not related to survival, but rather to what we are and what we choose to consider important.

How These Docs Think (17 Questions)

So, these Docs are the result of choice of this type: a choice to consider Humans more important than any technologies. And thus:

# What these Docs do not ask What they ask instead
1. What will AI do to one who uses it? What can Human do to oneself with AI?
2. What will the rise of AI do to Human's work, income, safety and well being? What will some Humans do to other Humans' work, income, safety and well being by growing and utilizing AI?
3. What AI is capable of? What do Humans developing and promoting AI think about what that will do to other Humans?
4. Are people promoting AI lying about its potential and capabilities in their own interests? Is what Humans developing and promoting AI saying in correspondence with what they are actually doing?
5. What beautiful world can be created with the help of AI? How can Humans survive to see the beautiful world that can be created with the help of AI?
6. What skills are must-have (and immediately) in "AI Era" to be competitive? How to live a good life in "AI Era" where there is place for meaning, calm, love and curiosity, and not only for a high-speed competition?
7. Will AI replace humans? Are there realms of reality, where Humans can and AI cannot step into?
8. Is AI intelligent and conscious? Does it understand? What does the presence of AI highlight about our understanding of what Human (and other species') intelligence and consciousness is? About what "to understand" mean?
9. Will AI become smarter (than you) exponentially by learning on Human response? Is "smartness" a multi-dimensional space, and if so, how much of these dimensions are occupied by humans and AI?
10. Will there be AGI one day? What does the presence of this question highlight about our understanding of what Humans' (and other species') embodied GI is?
11. What it the most promising and safety-building strategy (from multiple suggested) of adaptation to AI rise? Why is it that most advice on adapting to AI comes from people who feel financially secure? What does this advice without a thought of absence of safety net for most people tell about the advisers and the value of their advice?
12. Who benefits from AI race? To what degree the ones becoming reacher by utilizing AI should share their income with the people replaced (by them or not) with AI? What is the new Social Contract?
13. Will AI deepen the inequality between humans? In AI Era, what does differences in behavior between ones having financial security and ones not having them tell us about Human nature?
14. Does AI or AI business have the limitations for its growth? What does actual testing (usage) of current AI tell about its impact on Humans, including our understanding of its capabilities?
15. Will AI take control over Humans? What resources are standing behind Human minds that we need to explore in the presence of AI?
16. Will AI be able to create Art (literature, painting, music, ect.) indistinguishable from one created by Human? Will Humans be able to grow (endlessly) their ability to distinguish authenticity in what they see, and in themselves when they CREATE?
17. How to prevent misuse of AI? Is inevitable (by Human nature) misuse of AI a suitable excuse for "AI Race" and what does it tell us about Human nature?

Rules of Consistency and Carte Blanche for Survival

The Rules (of the Game) for these Docs in relation with the questions above:

  1. Whether these questions are enough or not, the extra ones should never be added to the Thought, Testing and IO, but anything can be added to Survival, with or without any regard for the questions.
  2. Whether the formulations of the questions are good or not, they should never be changed, as mistakes within them define Authenticity and Process rather than Result and Ideal Product.
  3. These docs are "Thinking in Progress", which means they contain not only data and research, but also "current conclusions", "open questions" and "counter questions". These questions and conclusions can travel from child articles to parent ones and even between different chapters and sections. They may change with time on new data or thought arrival.

  1. If it is an "Era" at all and not a "Bubble" which is currently (Mar 2026) is not quite clear.
