Options (Humanity-Technology): Subject-Object User-Tool Master-Slave Slave-Master Prey-Predator Host-Parasite Symbiosis Vessel-Possessing Spirit Mother-Child Hero-Destiny Pawn-Fate
there is no duality here. our tools are ourselves.
Symbiosis would be the closest thing I listed, but full integration, no differentiation, is another option. I'm skeptical of this, seems much of the techno-structure is completely indifferent to humans.
our usual point of view is that humans are in the driver's seat and we use machines to augment our brute force powers (either physically or computationally).
we can reverse that POV and say that machines are in the driver's seat and they augment their contextualizing and meaning-making powers with humans.
we're already at full integration, is my point. it doesn't have to be surgically implanted. we have NO capacity to live absent our machine prosthetics. if we don't have them we just immediately invent them, starting with the first one: language.
I totally agree on our integration with technology, but it's the other side of the relationship I'm skeptical about. Just how dependent are machines on humanity? Less and less, every day.
open question. I have yet to see an AI that has a useful level of meaning-making capability though. there are some people who think it's inevitable that an AGI will emerge and will be truly post-human. I doubt that will occur.
