There’s a sentiment that underlies all this creepiness: transhumanism, or the belief that man and machine must merge into one to realize our full potential.
“People always talk about AI, just in terms of money and jobs,” MIT physicist Max Tegmark told The Post. “I think most people don’t realize how much of it has to do with the transhumanist ideology of some people in [Silicon] Valley.”
The technohumanists want to colonize our brains and reinvent our bodies to deliver us from our pitiful organic state. They want a techno-reinvention of our human genesis. The last hurdle they have to cross, though, is the reluctance of the general public.
Tegmark posed a hypothetical to illustrate, comparing humanity merging with AI being like a snail latching onto a human.
It is like saying to a snail, “Don’t worry. There’s this new species coming along, but you can just merge with it…. and it’s going to be heavenly bliss for you.
