Joe Marshall posts an essay titled "If You Knew God Exists, Wouldn't You Become a Priest?" comparing superintelligence governance models to religious structures. The essay argues that if humanity achieves superintelligent AI, society must choose between universal access (open-weight, democratized) or restricted access via an "arbiter-class" of stewards.
“We're marching on our way to a God-machine, with much of Silicon Valley locked in an arms race to invent Him before the Chinese do.”
