“He believes that AI/human hybrids are inevitably going to take over”

Whether they would take over is unsure, but that we will see more and more humans interconnected with “smart” machines is pretty much inevitable. It’s already here.

I myself and millions of others are already “bionic hybrids”. I have an implanted “smart” pacemaker interconnected via Bluetooth to a transmitter that via the internet can communicate with my doctor on its own. Its software can be upgraded whenever a new release comes out.

If it can be done, it will be done.

The 64k question is, will we choose wisely and will there be such a difference and division in abilities between the “adopters” and the “non adopters” that one will end up dominating the other, even wiping it out?

We’re knocking at the door of Brave New World.

Hey Tran-humanity

That’s a nice electrical supply you got there

Be a shame if something happened to it , like a sunflare.

Then you’ll be a tran-zombie.

You hit the nail on the head about sodomite Harari. He is a great religious candidate for the FP.

Maranatha!
