The Roots of Progress

The Cosmos Institute launches

The new Cosmos Institute is working towards a future where “AI becomes a tool for consistently expanding human freedom and excellence.”

I’m proud to be a Founding Fellow. I strongly agree with Cosmos’s core values of reason, decentralization, and human autonomy. And I agree that “existential pessimism” vs. “accelerationism” should not be our only choices—we need a vision based on humanism and human agency.
