C.S. Lewis, you must not wait for the perfect conditions
There are always plenty of rivals to our work. We are always falling in love or quarreling, looking for jobs or fearing to lose them, getting ill and recovering, following public affairs. If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.

If an AI isnt committed to supporting disabled people to live flourishing lives, it is not aligned. Every human will be disabled relative to an AI-dominated economy. You want them to help disabled people. This is a precondition for superintelligent AIs treating humans well.

Disability rights is the closest existing precedent for how to treat humans in the AI era. In our society disability is defined relative to labor. Can you contribute economically? If no, you're disabled. Every human is going to be disabled relative to the AI-dominated economy.

too many people are building AGENT HARNESSES not enough people are building USEFUL APIs/MCPS FOR AGENT. it is a WARZONE to get my agents hooked up to stuff I use. plus, i can really only use one agent, but i can use ~infinite agent tools.

i really don't want to use your agent, i want to use my agent to use your thing.
