Machines of Loving Grace
AI’s Best-Case Scenario
This week on Prosthetic Gods, Nir and J. dive into Dario Amodei’s thought-provoking essay "Machines of Loving Grace: How AI Could Transform the World for the Better."

AI as a force for good – Can AI truly improve global well-being?
Healthcare, Economics, and Peace – How AI could reshape fundamental aspects of human life.
Techno-Optimism vs. Realism – Inspired by Richard Brautigan’s "All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace" & Marc Andreessen’s "The Techno-Optimist Manifesto."
