3. The phrase "AI ethics" is better replaced with "Quality standards" of machine.
4. We need to understand the "Emotional Economics" in the DMZ (De-Monetization Zone), where big tech companies accumulate De-monetized profits from cultural transactions, and create fair rules of the new game.
5. For the sake of human evolution, we need to reflect on the reasons for AI's success.
6. AIs will evolve faster, more continuously, and even more "culturally" than humans.
