Slow down…we’re moving too fast. Yes. If only we had learned how to be bored, and content.

Perfection, according to our own definition? Earth doesn’t need us, or Ai. And science won’t stop, it will transcend the life of the planet itself.

Our imperfections were not the problem- but not accepting our true nature; playing God and fighting for shortcuts to live comfortably; running from work and Love- may have been. Well I believe there is enough to salvage. I believe there is time to go walk now and pick a flower or fruit. In humble gratitude. 🙏

This is great work with more thoughtful techno-treasures from you.

你开始改变,我们希望你成为一台联网的机器吗?

Most people think and inveigh with the rapid advancement in AI witnessed to date; as it always evolving, it will soon leapfrog human thinking, reasoning, and fear it will lead to a Götterdämmerung, just like Skynet in Terminator.

The question that is not asked is what will happen if human flaws are eradicated - reaching perfection, then what ? It is reasonable to assume that there will be a lack of desire or motivation to do anything anymore and the new human state will be boredom! So there are arguments to have and accept human flaws to stave off boredom during a lifetime.

It seems Ray Kurzweil's "Singularity" - humans transcending their biology is already upon us. Witness Musk's Neuralink, brain interface to affect body motor functions using thought alone for people have no physical mobility. This good science.

Bit how far will science go? this is disturbing as more secrets of the brain and body are discovered. Also tech companies love to corner markets and make a bucket load of money and sell medications at prohibitive prices without political regulation if they can get away with it.

Something to be said for the slow self evolution though.

我们想要原来的你
