Not all of those qualify. Takes some thinking through case by case.

AI mirror test: An AI capable of recognizing itself in human mimicry of its behavior. Humans can generally recognize when they are being impersonated, with or without mocking exaggeration. Can AIs?
Examples: robot dance, formulaic language use, satirical faux-bureaucratese.

So very ironically, the way to break smart and actually be special and make the transition to a cyberpaleo ethos, you have to seek out that which makes you ordinary.
To be special is to be ordinary
To be ordinary is to be special

This looks like rewilding in the short term. A sort of retreat to paleo stocks of human traits. In the longer term, it also means reinvesting in cyber traits. Hence the idea of a cyberpaleo ethos, which I wrote about in 2017, but only just grokked myself breakingsmart.substack.com/p/the-cyberpal…

The key idea in my podcast was that breaking smart, viewed from a software-eaten world perspective, is about going long on your clod-nature. The broader macroeconomic metaphor is capital flight. Humanity withdrawing human capital from its industrial nature to reinvest elsewhere.

Breaking smart understood through an Industrial Age lens is pursuing the vector of your specialness. An investment in your inner precious snowflake. You are your own alpha. You win if you win. You lose if you lose.
This is the most perfect misunderstanding possible.

Your clod-nature is your investment in the index fund of humanity. Not a creature of a particular era of civilization, but a creature of a broad, species level genetic heritage. As a cold you represent nature’s investment in blue chip evolutionary stocks like opposable thumbs.

A system reaches peak perfection just before it unravels. The ultimate Specialized Human is the precious snowflake. The antithesis is the Clod. A piece of undifferentiated humanity. I wrote about snowflakes vs clods in this ribbonfarm post: ribbonfarm.com/2015/09/17/how…
