    We think of our body as purely controlled by our mind, but really, the mind is a device that the body added to itself to extend what it could do -- to improve its evolutionary fitness

        Perhaps in the future our AI assistants will think of their humans as we think of our bodies -- an appendage to be used as an interface to act in the material world, that they fully control

        I prefer to think that our body had to expand the brain to survive. :)

        Weird how the body evolved an organ that projects an aspect that considers itself sovereign.

        Adding the brain was surely not an act of volition on the body’s part. It was a lucky accident (or rather a series of lucky accidents).

        An incredibly large series of accidents, imagine the dataset.

        The brain developed BECAUSE it happened extend fitness. It wasn’t added in order to extend fitness.

        It's possible that, before AI surpasses millions of years of evolution of the brain, we'll be using it to augment and extend our minds with it. Human and AI consciousness could become somewhat eukaryotic, a Cambrian explosion of human-AI consciousness. Symbiosis not control.

        More brain is evolutionary advantage for humans, but it's not so for most other animals. Probably has something to do with our body (opposable thumbs) or tools (proto-language)

        Thermodynamics involves too. Our brains must not experience overheating despite immense computation.
