I just saw somebody refer to a human person, like an actual meat-and-bone possessed-of-inalienable-rights-and-inherent-dignity human person, as "agentic".

Bernard Avishai once famously said that the danger of computers is not that they will eventually get as smart as people, but that we will meanwhile agree to meet them halfway, and I think about that every day. Not just in terms of smarts, but dignity, kindness and decency.

@mhoye uhh, there is a whole twitter neighborhood that uses this as basically their primary value, talking a lot about how to become more so, using it as high praise/compliment etc.
@playinprogress I'm sure they're all very alpha people. I'm sure they're just maxxing stuff like crazy over there.
@mhoye very!
