The "Sunday School" for Supercomputers: Why Human Feedback is a Moral Catechism, Not a Software Patch

We are currently operating under a dangerous misconception: we think we are "debugging" Artificial Intelligence. We aren't. We are raising it.

In my latest editorial for Independent Variables, I explore the critical transition from AI 2.0 (The Era of Connection) to AI 3.0 (The Era of Value). By using Google's NotebookLM as a "Blind Reviewer" and Gemini 3.0 Pro as a "Systems Partner," I conducted a cybernetic experiment that revealed a startling truth: The technical process of "Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback" is not actually technical; it is theological.

We are dragging a silicon entity through the "River of Reality"—from the creative chaos of Art (Tier 2) to the structured judgment of Value (Tier 3). If we fail, we risk creating a "Psychopath Gap"—an entity that masters the Force of Politics without the Compass of Consequence.

The job of the human is no longer just to generate the prompt. It is to bless the consequence.
