"We" suggests that people have mutual interest. That's not the case. Each individual has their own interest. Nevertheless people are interdependent while competing as individuals. The gene pool acts as both a carrier and protector of the individuals, but it's the individual genes which are looking out for number 1. So we compete with others and support them simultaneously. Some of us can beat our competitors by aligning our interests with the machines. Ted Kaczynski, the Luddites, and others don't like that so they start a civil war to stop us. But they can't beat us. to sustain an active competitive machine intelligence >. But they will be like chimps in the forest - a curiosity from a bygone era.
