It appears, this US Senator has revealed himself as an utter fool and rabid propagandist/demagogue/populist! Or shall we call him a Luddite! And his diatribe against successful entrepreneurs is totally over the top! I think, the man is a little confused! Hopefully, he will get wiser with age!
I hope, the voters of Missouri will make a better choice next time! He spreads horrible stuff!
This man presents himself as a god fearing man, but how many wars has God allowed to happen sind Adam & Eve were expelled from Paradise?
Have we not lived transhumanism since the stone age? If transhumanism includes the abolishment of all wars and mass killings would this not be desirable like the abolishment of slavery? What if transhumanism brings us back closer to the Paradise we humans were expelled from according to the Bible?
"... There is nothing new under the sun, as the Bible also says, and the quest of Gilgamesh to cheat death may be the hottest thing going among the most powerful people in America today: the tech barons of Silicon Valley [???].
Not content with addicting our kids to their gizmos [???] or amassing fortunes the size of lesser European states, our tech elite has turned with rabid enthusiasm to artificial intelligence. They hail it as the greatest breakthrough for humanity since the Industrial Revolution, maybe the printing press. They predict it will centuple American economic output. They insist it will defeat China [???]. They claim it “will save the world” [???]—that is an actual quote.
Of course, it will also make them additional, ungodly sums of money [???]. But that does not seem to explain the religious fervor [???] of AI’s loudest advocates. There is something else going on, something more ideological. No, only the less cautious articulate the real reason, what many quietly believe: that AI will reinvent human existence.
The eugenicist Julian Huxley predicted this as far back as 1957. He wrote then that “a thousand million years of evolution” would lead to a moment when man, harnessing his “modern control of physical nature” would “transcend himself”—would achieve a new state of being. Today’s technologists believe that moment is now.
For Huxley, this was a religion all its own. “I believe in transhumanism,” he liked to say. And so do untold numbers of today’s tech class.
That is the vision—the religion and ideology—that animates so much of the breathless race for artificial intelligence [???] … and for artificial general intelligence … and super-intelligence, and beyond: for the day when humans are no longer embodied beings at all but live infinitely in the cloud [???]. ..."
