I watched that a couple times. It was like watching those assholes on YouTube trying to sell you their secrets to getting rich. Duly noted on the risks, however I’ll start worrying when I see the animals evolve and start building churches.

While I really disliked its fear-mongering and style, I think the idea of "merging with machines" is an interesting one to discuss, and the article dismisses it too quickly. Depending on how you define things, it's not far off, because it's already here.
