And without rationality, without a new Age of Enlightenment in a decentralized global context, what makes you think we will be able to avoid the possible trajectory with AI being abused by some of the most ignorant people?

AI can be used to help people or not. But I don't think AI is going to automatically be used to help people if people don't save science. Philosophy is important as well and as I said there will be residual effects of augmenting the rationality of individuals in that you'll get more effective ethics.

We already see some of this actually but not enough.
