The good news is that this is something we can test. I want someone to do the experiment and see to what extent the skills accumulate in the face vs. the shoggoth.
I agree it totally might not pan out in the way I hope—this is why I said “What I am hoping will happen” isntead of “what I think will happen” or “what will happen”
I do think we have some reasons to be hopeful here. Intuitively the division of cognitive labor I’m hoping for seems pretty… efficient? to me. E.g. it seems more efficient than the outcome in which all the skills accumulate in the Shoggoth and the Face just copy-pastes.
