There are too many interested parties working on their own AI projects and too much temptation out there for it not to. What's important now is: 1. Making the technology open source so that it's not just in the hands of a couple all powerful corporations. More and varied programs will hopefully lessen the chance of a SkyNet scenario. Hence OpenAI. 2. Make sure humanity can adapt and keep up with AI so that we don't get left in the dust and reduced to an inferior species. Hence Neuralink. As always, the future is scary but exciting. Hopefully the Singularity will usher in a new Renaissance rather than our doom. |
Remember the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
When I think Neuralink and transhumanism and augmented humans, I think Body Snatchers. I mean, when the improvement reaches a point where we lose ourselves and become just a vessel for something else.
I see this in people, even today, some stuff take hold of them and they just... lose themselves.
I saw it happen to my father when he became a crack cocaine addict, became a different person altogether.
Saw it happen with my ex-girlfriend when she went to college. Christian girl, very nice, became a party-heavy drinker slut, and cheated on me, also stole a bunch of money from me. In like, 4 months of college...
People can lose themselves so easily.
I am not optmistic about it.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
