Very dumb intelligence is still enough to change history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Look at social media, which is controlled by very, very primitive A.I. and how social media changed society, politics, psychology over the last ten years or so. So we don&#8217;t really need, superintelligence, even quite primitive A.I. is sufficient to change history and society. I don&#8217;t know when we reach the point, but I&#8217;m sure that in the next decade or so, we will have to deal with a new wave of immigration&#8230; A.I. Immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That we will have hundreds of millions of AI immigrants coming from only two countries, China and the US. And, you know, it&#8217;s strange, the U.S. still telling countries, <strong>close your borders to human immigrants, but open them wide to A.I. immigrants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And the big question is, how does society, human society, adapt to a giant wave of immigration from a <strong>different species<\/strong>?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Democracy&#8217;s ideally suited to survive this because we are going to make mistakes with A.I., with the way we develop it, the way we deploy it. And we need a self-correcting mechanism. We need a mechanism that says, okay, we made a mistake. The best mechanism we know  is democracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-25-at-4.22.55-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-25-at-4.22.55-PM.png 1000w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-25-at-4.22.55-PM-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-25-at-4.22.55-PM-768x398.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"901\" src=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-Sam-Bubbles.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-Sam-Bubbles.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-Sam-Bubbles-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-Sam-Bubbles-768x692.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-SamBubble-burst.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-SamBubble-burst.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-SamBubble-burst-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Court-Painter-SamBubble-burst-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Court Painter &amp; portraits of Sam Altman CEO of Open AI  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court Painter &amp; Yuval Noah Harari What do we know about the human mind?
