There is an AI cult in Silicone Valley these days apparently, which says AI will be superior to us and we are just it's temporary birth vessel. I like Joe Rogan, but he keeps spreading that nonsense too.
The fact that some AI researchers think it will be good for humanity to be overtaken and destroyed by AI reminds me of my years in vet school. I had two friends who said, in moments of sincerity, they wanted to invent a virus which kills humanity (neither of them is Fauci lol).
I for one believe in humanity. For all our shortcomings, we keep moving forward and getting better. 200 years ago slavery was the established norm. 100 years ago women could not vote. We may be a part of a fiat slavery system now, but we have found a way out and are more free than and live better lives than ever before. The levels of awareness and intelligence are rising. If, fingers crossed, some warmongering lunatic doesn't end us all in a mushroom cloud, we'll be just fine.
