Yeah, basically.

And don't forget neural implants and upgrades that shall come.

once we have AI with super-human thinking ability (which will happen, perhaps even in our lifetimes), there will be no point in keeping humans alive any longer than necessary

**Loud sigh**

There is inherant value in conciousness.

in fact, once humanity is fully automized, there will be no more point in keeping biological humans alive at all

Without it, this universe does not exist.

That implant that causes time to slow down, he said it would be boring and drive you crazy. I would totally go for that. You can always work toward increasing communication in that scenario.

And from what we know, we are the only concious beings.

Don't be a materialist 🤢

~~or a realist~~

there is no more intrinsic value to a biological human than an electronic human

Yes, humans are the only known intelligent live in the universe. It is possible that what we think is AI or new consciousness is just a faker. We should be careful about replacing ourselves too quickly.

No, there is. At least, assuming you can't just upload a man's mind and conciousness.

maybe you wouldn't want to do that in the first place

Maybe!

it'd be like creating angels and teaching them to behave like humans

Well; as Chopin asid

it could just be a fake.

It could just be a collection of a person's memories and personality.

While not them.

But we couldn't really ever know.

Actually, it'd be just like teleportation.

It could just work like that.

Or we could be killing a person when we do that, who is really that person.

We'll never really know....

I wouldn't do it.

Yeah, I agree with Chopin.

Jut doesn't seem safe.

If I've got a thousand or two thousand years to live

I'm not gonna take that chance for supposed immorality by compiuter

at some point you would likely grow tired of living and just kill yourself

Interesting.

No.

I would never kill myself either.

You may get tired of the content of life; but not life.

fear of death only goes so far

I am tired of the contient right now, but I know that I will make it greater and better in my future.

*content

Like, dude.

we don't know any people who have lived for several hundred years, but given that it's an extremely unnatural way of life for humans, it would likely drive us insane

There is so much possibility, it is impossible to get bored.

You could take entire years to just travel around the world, retire for a few years, or go back to university, find a new job.

You could do almost anything.

Because you have all the time; and we'll likely be entering post scarcity or close to that

as we'll begin harvesting huge amonts of energies.

Like, really. There are no limits!

except for increasing existential depression

Sorry, what?

reasoning such as "I am going to go to a university to get a good job and live a good life and pass on wealth to my kids" no longer works

Time is the best cure for existential crisis.

fear of death gives our life meaning

I would know.

Um... We shouldn't fear death when it comes

now-a-days that is.

Unless we're like, the leader of the Terran Republic

We should welcome it. It is the end of a long and beautiful story, but every story must end.

Even if it can feel sudden at times.

What about the simulation hypothesis? I'm scared this is just a thought in a future AI brain to see how this timeline works out.

It just is how it is meant to be.

Imagine when you die, you just pull a helmet off

and you were in class the entire time

wtf

not possible

and everyone claps because they just saw all the achievments of your fake life

we would have precollections

for all you know our universe could be simulated on the laptop of some edgy teenager who does this is a hobby

We do. It isn't very clear due to conditioning.

but does it matter

But us humans do actually have connections before our lives.

Old souls, you know what I mean?

No way. Humans are way to obsessed with themselves. It is never about us. It is just matter in motion. It is charitable to think we are the thoughts of God or a future supercomputer/

THey're people you know without knowing.

If you want to throw around that we don't, then you just don't get humanity.

i find it more likely i will die and be forgotten

Reincarnation? With what physics? Your diving off the deep end with that one.

I didn't say so.

I was saying that we have connections that just don't make sens eif this is all we are.

It is conditioned outta us.

Okay...

"But us humans do actually have connections before our lives."

nice theory

There are connections is cause and effect.

is everyone on here just a bunch of weedsmoking spiritualists?

ffs

Are you not?

this gif always sums it up

Get out you fucking materialist; you're not wlecome here.

you shouldn't be so sceptical of things you don't know shit about anyways

i'm australian

fk off or fit in

We have strong patterns imposed on us, and we have strong instincts. It isn't crazy to say we have 'old life' imposed on us.

for all you know there could be a lot of supernaturality to our world

i believe there is a god

or something which created everything

because cause and effect

although some sort present supernatural shit

i don't believe in

But you don't seek it?
