S2 Ep100. Transhumanism. Part 4. AI: The demon in the tomb

This episode considers the speed, extent, and dangers of the AI technological revolution. The dreams of radical transhumanism depend on this transformation. I  use 2 sources, both highly recommended reading: 1.  Megathreats  (2022)  by Nouriel Roubini  especially ch8. 2. The Coming Wave  (2023 ) by Mustafa Suleyman. The episode ends with a warning dream of mine about AI … An expedition of Western soldiers in India stumbled on an unusual tomb. It is like a big room which is guarded by a living demon, whom the soldiers decide to execute perhaps by burning. They walk backwards to the place of execution while the blue demon walks forward in a sinister, elegant kind of dance. A cautious interpretation is offered.
