The following video is quite cool and it asks the question about why we would bother learning things if everything is automated and done for us.

This is the beginning of the shift to AI and robots combined, which will be much more efficient than humans, to produce and solve.

I think this is most likely inevitable if we continue on that trend of scientific progress with reducing costs for companies.

Most likely, and from where we stand in this 18th of June 2024, AI + Robotics + Quantum computing will completely change the world we currently live in.

And the progress is exponential.

Now…try to be mindful about the status quo bias. Change does not mean « worst ». It means it will be uncomfortable for some people though. And we might need to take better care of what these people go through.

This video (it’s coming, I will soon shut up) is forgetting one thing in this question of « why even learn things »: Why bother still being stuck in this lifeform, if there is more powerful embodiment mechanism?

Why would we want to be stuck into having this very imperfect body, with lots of constraints and a quite buggy system?

I wouldn’t mind having my consciousness being transferred to something way more capable. Learning is crazy slow, when being organic/animal, in comparison of what machine learning can do nowadays.

So…and I have asked myself this question multiple times lately…what should I focus on which helps me be a more holistic version of who I am (or could be)?

If somebody tells me I would be transferred, in 10 years (I would probably say 20, just to be relatively conservative, but 10 years is easier to do this thought experiment), into a higher being where I would retain who I was, but have access to all information humanity has so far, while « thinking » way faster and being able to « do » way more…

I would say then I should just enjoy life, prepare this transition and probably survive until we are able to collect every piece of « me » (through memories and brain structure probably, even though I have doubts about the brain structure having a high weight on who I am, it’s just a transposition into neural nets we have today). And that’s why I also write so much, basically taking snapshots of who I am right now in a very compressed (and information loss) way.

So yeah, surviving means I should also take care of the health of my (very limited) brain while it’s tic-tacking towards the void. Now…what are the best things I should do everyday to make it to this time of way higher beingness? Still thinking about it, but I have some ideas.

Hopefully, this ends well! It can go very wrong in between, and after.
