INTO INFINITY AND BEYOND

In a recent interview, Elon Musk predicted that by 2029 AI will equal all human knowledge and ability to conduct anything we can do. Musk's argument is that AI has the ability to upgrade its systems by 100% each year. So even if out by a year or two, will this stop humans having to create wars over whose God is the better God, missing the fact that all 3,000 plus Gods since time began were only invented due to human fear of death and what came after? Now, as I recently explained in my warts and all biography, written while I was in a recent war zone in Ethiopia where embassies moved out their other staff forgetting me, with my not knowing if I would survive, my life story is now out on Olympia https://olympiapublishers.com/books/god-hates-me explaining it all.
As the lead picture here above demonstrates, in the short time of evolution on earth, we have progressed to the point where we can integrate with AI, demonstrated further by Musk's introduction of a workable neuro-link which can attach brain waves to not only all available online knowledge, but can manipulate inanimate objects such as wheelchairs by mind alone. And this ability is just in its infancy.
While hard to get one's mind around what this means, the consequences are almost beyond belief, and while it might be laughed at here, just imagine the mental anguish a brain like Elon's must be going through understanding what all this means; and how do you bring the consequences out in from of humans still fighting wars about God telling them they have to wear hats so as not to offend him, or being told to believe that prophets flew up to God on winged donkeys asking how many times a day one has to pray.
So, all interesting to date and no more frightening than being told to adopt Islam or be put to death. But here, it gets really frightening when you start replacing what various Gods promised after death with what that after-death will really look like.
Now we have reached the stage where a human can soon work from anywhere in some mental capacity since physical labor will have been taken over by machines, meaning physical strength becomes redundant. Presumably one could conclude that if physical strength is not required, you would need fewer humans to do the workload, whatever that might be, if all minds and AI can be connected. Reproduction becomes a question not of love but biology, and again would require fewer humans; and not much fun. One bull, a herd of cows. In this inevitability, we get to one side of humanity that could be supported and live to a very old age in their seeming cocoon to eventually physically die while having left their AI trail behind. This would be akin to theoretically living forever - unless AI turned the electricity off.
But then we get to the nasty part where Elon says that old people get past their used-by date, while Yuval Harari has predicted the coming "useless people". One could imagine that all those people living in their dream worlds of woke would not be encouraged nor have a place in an intellectually structured AI based on known logic, nor sadly to say, would many similar unfortunates who without access to modern farming techniques or technology would either die or wipe each other out. That can be left for individual speculation within each person's idea of how well the world is now going with an attempted Trump global domination by the USA.
The good news for those now living is that when all this comes about, we won't be. Extra good news might also be that all this endless bickering about religion might finally accept how it is not about which God will give you a better afterlife if you pray often enough and pay your taxes, but to work with inevitable reality which when hitting the full potential of AI you will be able to live on indefinitely connected to your family via artificial intelligence even "after death". It might not be exactly what people envisaged with everyone dancing around a pole singing cum bay ya day and night, but it might be even better.
Which leaves us with preparing for the day. First, we have to just accept being the best people we can in this life as a universal family and stop this nonsense that my God is better than your God - and all the rubbish invented supposedly coming from an invisible God who never existed. Once we can head towards truth rather than invention, the world can start trying to work as one, even if Trump wants to make America alone Great Again. There is no time for that, but he'll learn.
And on an exit path, if you can accept that the future might be a second reality being fundamentally only part of the material world, it might explain why we have not discovered other civilisations that might have surpassed our evolution but yet could be all around us; only we don't know it. Perhaps they built the Pyramids but then moved on?
