I think we're about to see an explosion of tech that's gonna radically alter what it means to be human, and I have no idea how our cultural brains are going to handle this

Assuming AI doesn't kill us, what happens to our world when everything we do is done better by nonhumans? And not just everything we do - everything we *wish we could do*. If it's aligned, it should be trivial to rebuild our bodies however we want.

I don't think it'll be soon, there are lots of obstacles to scale tech access to everyone or at least to the majority. High tech will keep being inaccessible for many years. We'll go through huge inequality gaps

1. as a whole we're radically underestimated the rate of AI development in the past
2. AI will help with more AI development, should be exponential growth

No reason to think it will be so soon. To scale on the material world (which still takes time) for the singularity to happen before 2030 you need a completely capable (and aligned) AGI *in control of the good guys, if they exist* before 2025

Everything. Everywhere. All at once.
My time frame for judgement day keeps getting moved up.

You could be right and it will be less interesting than you hope. Probably with inexplicable compulsions to promote and defend certain brands. Would it be exciting to neurally pilot a drone swarm against a desperate band of black highwaymen who've been robbing autonomous semis?
