Fantastic.

We get a glimpse of what is coming by looking at China

The robots will take over everything.

Eternal life might actually be possible, but not in organic form. I bet it will be possible to transfer all the content of your brain – your knowledge and memory, into a hardware memory so that you can continue to live forever in digital form. And you will be able to transfer ”yourself” to a new and a faster hardware as technology advance. Perhaps you can even make multiple copies of yourself. One version of you lives in a robot with arms and legs, another version of you lives in a stationary gadget that could look like anything! The boundaries will be our imagination.

The Human species is the only animal that had no predator and was like, you know what? Im going to make one.

"And you will be able to transfer ”yourself” to a new and a faster hardware as technology advance."

You can't transfer "yourself" into anything. Contrary to sci-fi nonsense, "yourself" isn't just your memories. Your physical self is very much a part of who you are.

We had lots of predators. But the hunted became the hunters.

Long before Charles Atlas, humans got tired of having sand kicked in our faces. :o)

In the modern world, we effectively have no predators enmasse.

But maybe we do now.

Para
Advanced linguistic models impersonating humans is one vector towards artificial intelligence supremacy.

Creating a digital duplicate of yourself may fool everyone that interacts with it, but you will know until the day you are terminated that the copy is just that.

The moral dilemma of starwars incidentally. Crews are casually disintegrated, then remade with new material elsewhere. Kewl. Very pragmatic. Except for the individuals getting disintegrated.

You could say that "well, how is that different from having offspring to carry on the generations before I die?" Well for one thing, it is kind of stagnant comparable to cloning yourself, then dying. Procreation by that means is the end of evolution.

I have put a lot of thought into it over the decades. Hence my thoughts on Muskins in space. Of course we could just expanded with robots and digital impressions imitating humans that once existed. But that is the end of the line. Hence robots with digital impressions imitating humans eventually decanting and raising variations of Elon Musk DNA.

We have not seen an evolutionary bottleneck like that since the precorsurs to our branch of humanity was whittled down to 1900 individuals some 900k years ago.
