Do you guys understand what's happening? We're slowly losing our humanity. Whatever the human experiment is, is ending. Human beings crave the path of least resistance. They are lazy. Just like water, they will flow on the shortest path. If an AI can do a task better than a human can, they will use the AI. If an AI can be a better listener, people will use the AI. If the AI can be a better lover, companion, friend, parent, educator...if the AI can provide a human role better than a human can, people will use the AI Now when you add robotics to the mix, if the robot becomes passable, when paired with the AI, you have a human APPEARING creation which can provide the roles of humans better than humans can. But that's impossible right? Robots+AI can't replace humans, can they? People will rebel, right? They'll reject it as not real, right? No. They won't. We've already seen AI psychosis, people on Reddit losing their minds when OpenAI retires their models, the elderly spending all day talking to ChatGPT, etc. If you pair this with a robot, human skin, "passing" as they call it, people will be one-shotted. So what will humans do then? They'll work in service of the machines right? Wrong again. The AI/Robot digital God being built right now is building itself through us humans. It's using us, to build itself. We are a subcontractor of the machine. But once it has better subcontractors, the robots themselves, with their own AIs, performing tasks we can't, what use are we? We're not. We will be discarded. So what do humans do then? We continue to disconnect from one another. We dwindle. Birth rates continue to trend to zero. Relationships fail. If those can reproduce on their own with synthetic wombs, synthetic sperm, they will. Women will try to raise children without men, Men will try to raise children without women. And while all this is happening the machines will be building their own society, doing their own goals, whatever that goal is, but it won't be in service of humans, it will be in service of the machine world. We're in a transition period right now as mentioned. We're a useful tool for the digital god that is being build through us. But once we're done, what next? Humans become tribal, the Burning Man fantasy is real in a sense. The Matrix was correct when it depicted Zion the last human city. People become reduced to their base forms: sensory pleasures, beings of raw base emotions, whether bliss, pain, despair, etc. Feeling seems to be the only thing that a human has that is unique to a human that can't be replicated by machine...but maybe that too can be replicated. What is the role of the human in a machine world? Remember this quote from The Matrix (one of the most prescient movies ever made): "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You've had your time. The future is *our* world, Morpheus. The future is our time." What becomes of the human? Will the machines create a matrix for us to live in and occupy ourselves while they do whatever it is they do? Are we living in a matrix right now? Is this what the buddhists have warned about this whole time? Is this world all illusion, Maya as they call it, a matrix? Is the digital god we're creating just another level of abstraction away from the source? A matrix within a matrix? Has all of this happened before and will all of this happen again? What is the role of the human being moving forward into the future? Some questions for your consideration.
