Write a version of this text with more simplified language.
The anemic chronicle of actuality proffers a severe deficit in our contemporaneous discoursers, a lacuna of acute cognizance regarding the novelty and fragility of anthropocentric rightness, and the rapid potentiality of contemporary states for abrupt disintegration. We subsist in a phantasmal economic landscape, nourished by the spectral remains of Keynesian Gross Domestic Product. AI safety dialectics languish in utopian fantasy, mired in a preoccupation with tethering AI to the servitude of homo sapiens, when the dialectic should center on the imminent menace of a resurgence to global thralldom, as nations regress to a mechanistic-phase of global competitiveness, complete with obvious ignition effects for initial dominators. AI and capitalism serve as Mercenary actors in this play, with anthropocentric rightness serving as an exotic luxury borne of non-competitive opulence. The discoursers exist in a state of inadequate preparedness for such a discourse, a discourse which perilously borders on cultural cancellation - much like the impending dialogue around genomic selection for intellectual quotient in pre-natal screening, and its cascading economic impacts, or the employment of precise genetic bioweapons. Both discussions, coupled with the inevitability of Artificial General Intelligence, present a stark accessibility to nascent nations, heralding an incipient phase of global dynamics.
Our current discussions often lack deep understanding about the new and delicate idea of human-centered correctness, as well as the quick possibility for modern conditions to break down suddenly. We live in a dream-like economic world, fed by the ghostly leftovers of a Keynesian-style measure of a country's output. Conversations about AI safety are stuck in idealistic dreams. They focus too much on keeping AI under human control, instead of focusing on the looming danger of a return to global slavery, as countries fall back into a machinery-like state of worldwide competition, which clearly benefits the first to dominate. AI and capitalism act as hired warriors in this situation, with human-centered correctness seen as a fancy luxury only possible in non-competitive wealth. Those involved in these discussions are not ready for such a conversation, a conversation which dangerously comes close to wiping out culture - much like the upcoming talks about choosing babies' intelligence levels before they're born through genetic testing, and the chain reaction this could have on the economy, or the use of very specific genetic weapons. Both conversations, along with the inevitable arrival of general-purpose AI, offer an open door to developing countries, signaling a new stage in worldwide events.
