I think zealot answered that. It seems that people who can't manage themselves and their worst impulse want to manage others.

    Grimes and musk believe the AI is God. So there’s a good chance context is missing here on purpose because she’s aware enough to not go full crazy.

    Bring back God = build the AI.

    The archetypes, best, worst and middling, are those parts of ourselves, so I can kind of see that. I'm fairly sure that's not what they mean by it, but I could be wrong. People can agree on basic premise and have wildly varying ideas of the implications, such as regular people who hi to church, temple and mosque and basically try to be decent to everyone, and those who wield religion like a cudgel.

    Eta, just saying I'm fairly sure i don't agree their implications, maybe not the actual premise. I realize it was murky.
