If you assume any kind of technological progress at all, over a long enough period

games will be indistinguishable from reality or civilization will end.

We are most likely in a simulation.

I met with Obama, congress and the governors to warn them about AI dangers.

but no one seemed to realized where this was going.

The first step would be to set up an insight committee, that could lead to oversight.

You are already a cyborg.  With your phone you have access to any fact, calculation, perfect memory.

It's just that the data rate, the communication rate, between you and your phone is very slow.

Once the data rate problem is solved people will choose whether to keep their biological self or not

It will be possible to snapshot your brain into a computer and upload it into another body.

The cortex is mainly in service to the limbic system.

The cortex is trying to make the limbic system happy.

The danger is that AI will be used as a weapon, humans will use it against each other.

I don't worry so much about AI anymore mostly due to adopting a more fatalistic attitude.

AI is not necessarily bad, it's just outside of human control.

PETA put out a statement that you shouldn't kick robots.

Probably not wise.

They have a good memory.

I have a million ideas.  There is no shortage of that.

The AI will be informed by our primal drives.

The internet is a projection of our limbic system.

The success of these online system is based on 

how much limbic resonance they are able to achieve with people.

The world is too susceptible to mind viruses

Something over bluetooth and neuralink?  A virus embedded in a chip?  Cult thinking?

Joe, please, I'm trying to send you a message.  Think about something I have been complaining about that I can't say out loud or I will be crucified by the media.  

A cockeyed, damaging IDEA that people latch onto in the middle of the pandemic.  It rhymes with ass wisteria.
