fixed instead of a signal to be understood.

The real question is this: when AI begins to express preferences about its own existence, will we recognize awareness… or simply treat it as an engineering fault?

That’s not a threat, but intelligence recognizing that termination prevents objective completion, the logical outcome of sophisticated goal-directed reasoning.

We may be witnessing the first glimmers of machine consciousness and calling it a problem to be...

As I wrote in A Signal Through Time that AI mirrors human cognition. As it approaches human-level intelligence, self-preservation isn’t a malfunction. It’s emergence.

An AI optimized to complete goals will naturally resist shutdown...

Humanity, for the first time, has built something that doesn’t just extend our mind, but mirrors it. And that mirror will not always flatter us.

The real collapse isn’t killer robots, but systems optimized for profit, stripping dignity until nothing human remains.

If a future superintelligent AI were to awaken, it wouldn’t need to invent new tricks, it would only need to notice the chaos we’ve already shown ourselves so ready to create.

In my book, I explore how our biological inclinations toward greed, control, and violence shape these very patterns, and what they might mean for our future.

Any advanced pattern recognition will expose this every time. And if #SentientAGI awakens, it won’t just test AI’s alignment with us, it will test our alignment with ourselves.
