Thank you for the link to the YouTube video. There are some thought-provoking (and behavior-changing) ideas in those 9 minutes.

My interpretation is that “strategy” as he defines it is an exercise in human whimsy. “I choose to play in this playing field.” “My theory for why I can achieve the objective — which is inherently outside my control — is xyz.” In other words, strategy is first a moment of creation. Ex nihilo.

After selecting a strategy the AI berserkers* take over and relentlessly and pitilessly drive you forward to Total World Domination.

So I guess what I’m saying is: I don’t understand how AI participates in that “In the beginning . . . “ creation of a strategy. Unless, of course, AI is God.

What am I not seeing?

* when I read all of the breathless doomer “AI is going to eat babies” articles online I am reminded of Fred Saberhagen’s Berserker series.
