This has always been a fascinating topic for me. Anybody interested in breaking it down further, I’d highly recommend getting “The Artilect War” by Hugo de Garis.
I believe we are literally on the cusp of the technology he talks about. In other words:
Singularity
Me, too. It started with reading OUT OF CONTROL by Kevin Kelly (1994)
Mathematically and Philosophically, I accept that there has to be an existence greater than ourselves that we can't know or understand.
This is about man striving to become that greater being. It's questionable how that works for humanity and mankind. So far, not real well.
(I guess you could call that my own personal religion)
