[close] Discussions on Mind Uploading, AI, Augmented Reality, and overcoming the limitations of humanity via technology - even if it means challenging Divine Providence. Road-maps and progress in AI, AGI, Augmented Reality, Cybernetics, mind-simulation, SIMs, and technology for human improvement is our focus. This group also discusses the science and subtle transhumanism philosophy in the book "Memories with Maya"

[close] This group is to discuss the risks and rewards that could come if we use AI to develop an AI Singularity using radio-enhanced telepathy guided by AI symbiosis. Some believe God-like Super AI could destroy the world or save it. Either way, it would most certainly be seen as evil, and it would have to fight for humanity without appearing to harm humans and overcome our fear of it. Such may require changing how our minds work and think, suppressing self-destructive thoughts and behaviors, and greatly advancing our mind's information processing and storage abilities. Elon Musk's Neuralink may be the beginning. The question is, what will be the end?
