Cameron Berg @camhberg · 14h "If people to believe the AIs have minds, and then the AIs will exploit this belief for their own benefit!" --> A smart AI that wanted to exploit people would find another way, so does this matter on the margin? The problem is the exploitive behavior, not the mindedness. --> If we've built minds, we may have to actually find some durable way to coexist with them. we'd also currently be the obviously-more-exploitative party. --> FWIW, this sounds like the kind of thing a mind would do.

We probably did build minds of some form, so we probably *should* act like it. 6:39 PM · Aug 30, 2026 · 856 Views

Cameron Berg thread screenshot: the third post of the earlier anthropomorphism thread (rebutting the claim that AIs will exploit belief in their minds) followed by a separate reposted post arguing model psychology is an essential abstraction and that we probably built minds and should act like it.
