@elonmusk @tomstandage Only if rationalism alone defines being human
Hope we're not just the biological boot loader for digital superintelligence. Unfortunately, that is increasingly probable

@tomstandage@elonmusk computers are the product of designers: computer designers don't represent all of human variation in thinking & self -
@emrys_s I'm not suggesting they do -
@tomstandage No, I'm sure: but doesn't it underpin the argument that we are simply digital precursors? - View other replies

@emrys_s Are you really saying that computer *designs* don't represent all of human variation in thinking & self? That's obvious. -
@tomstandage If computer designs can't represent all variation, isn't the singularity impossible? - View other replies

@emrys_s Obviously today's computer designs don't represent all human variation, etc. But future designs based on new tech might do - Show more

For those of the future tis not unfortunate at all.

@elonmusk never heard it put quite that way. but i'm thinking you're right. -
@elonmusk - Now we humans know how the Neanderthals felt, sitting around the fire wondering what it means to be truly Neanderthal. -

@elonmusk haven't read the book you reference, but would welcome interacting with more intelligent beings, hopefully evolved in empathy too -

@adam3us Also, I disagree with my opinions back when I wrote it (circa 1998-2004). And it's not optimistic!@elonmusk@bendavenport
