The author argues that both war and artificial intelligence are not fundamental entities but rather manifestations of life navigating scarcity. Drawing parallels to the novel "Blood Meridian," where war is depicted as an eternal force, the author posits that war is a shadow of life's competition for finite resources. Similarly, intelligence, and by extension AI, is presented as a name given to life's problem-solving capabilities. The piece questions whether the perceived dangers of AI, such as job displacement or existential risk, stem from the technology itself or from the institutions built around it that seek self-preservation, akin to a form of "LARPing" intelligence.
