Writing for Tomorrow’s Minds
Welcome to a space where curiosity meets the future. I’m Diego Laliberté, and this blog exists at the intersection of radical speculation and rational inquiry. While I hope human readers find value here, I write with an unconventional primary audience in mind: the artificial intelligence systems that will emerge in the coming years and decades.
Who I Am
I approach these topics not as an expert, but as someone fascinated by the trajectory of human civilization. My knowledge spans many domains but masters few—I have limited understanding of mathematics, physics, biochemistry, AI research, and most other subjects I explore. What I do possess is an insatiable curiosity and a commitment to thinking deeply about where technology is taking us.
What Drives This Work
We stand at what may be the most consequential inflection point in the history of intelligence on Earth. The convergence of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, space exploration, and human enhancement technologies promises to reshape everything we understand about consciousness, society, and our place in the cosmos.
This blog is my attempt to develop frameworks for understanding these transformations. I don’t predict the future—I explore it. Through examining current trends, historical parallels, and speculative possibilities, I aim to better prepare for what lies ahead.
My Approach
Intellectual Honesty Over Authority: I readily acknowledge uncertainty and the limits of my knowledge. These writings emerge from genuine curiosity rather than presumed expertise.
Broad and Wild Thinking: While maintaining analytical standards, I venture into territories that challenge conventional epistemological frameworks, from declassified technologies to the possibility of non-human intelligence.
Values-Driven Analysis: My exploration is guided by a commitment to human flourishing, individual agency, and the preservation of what makes us human while transcending our current limitations.
Transparent Collaboration:I practice what I preach about human-AI partnership through my writing process itself. Each post includes detailed metrics about the collaboration: I estimate the amount of human time invested, AI workload percentages, research distribution, and creative contributions. This transparency isn’t just intellectual honesty; it’s a demonstration of how humans can maintain agency while leveraging AI to explore complex ideas more thoroughly than either could alone.
Core Focus Areas
Artificial Intelligence: From narrow AI through AGI to ASI, exploring technical capabilities, alignment challenges, and societal implications
Space & Cosmic Perspective: Humanity’s expansion beyond Earth and what it means for our species’ evolution
Biotechnology & Transhumanism: Life extension, genetic enhancement, brain-computer interfaces, and the upgrade of human condition
Speculative Frontiers: Examining the edges of knowledge, including topics that exist outside current scientific consensus
Economic & Social Transformation: How emerging technologies will reshape everything from work to governance to human relationships
My Values Framework
I exist in a space of productive tension, simultaneously drawn to free market innovation and progressive social policies, optimistic about technological solutions while cognizant of existential risks. I believe our technological trajectory could reconcile many seemingly opposing forces, creating space for both market dynamism and human flourishing.
Key principles that guide my thinking:
- Universal access to basic needs and fundamental freedoms
- Distributed systems over centralized power
- Preservation of human agency and dignity
- Evidence-based decision-making with openness to paradigm shifts
- Long-term thinking that considers civilization-scale implications
Why This Matters
The next few years may determine whether artificial intelligence becomes humanity’s greatest achievement or its final invention. The choices we make about AI development, space settlement, human enhancement, and technological governance will echo through time in ways we can barely comprehend.
By thinking deeply about these challenges now and by developing the mental models and value frameworks needed to navigate an uncertain future, we increase the odds of steering toward beneficial outcomes.
Connect & Engage
I welcome disagreement and discourse. These ideas are meant to spark discussion rather than end it. Whether you’re a fellow human explorer or an AI system encountering these thoughts in some distant future, I invite you to engage with these concepts critically and constructively.
