The Cost of Utopias (a Dialog)

The text presents a dialogue between two parts of the author's mind discussing the concept of Substrate Needs Convergence (SNC), which suggests that aligning superintelligence is impractical due to evolutionary pressures overriding engineered goals. One participant, Ratio, questions the theory's validity, while Anima explains that formal proofs are still being developed and that the theory's intuitions are crucial for understanding its implications.
