Would You Rather Be God Or Slime Mold?
Thanks for that, Mr. Lee; it needed to be done. The Nates of the world serve a small, precious audience, but they won’t inspire a critical mass to advocate for their proposed way of life.
Sam Altman tells us that we need new hardware and software to enter the AI revolution. We can all look forward to financing new and improved super-smart gadgets and computers, designed and built to AGI standards, as we transition to Artificial Human Intelligence and the impending Singularity.
(Artificial Intelligence is an oxymoron in the context of Great Nature, but who am I but a humble human animal with no ambition? “Loser!”)
Because of this transition, we won’t have to worry about health, biology, complex ecosystems with emergent properties, or material and energy scarcity. Our machines will be so efficient that the universe will be ours to transform as we wish.
Learning about R & K species strategy is boring. Tech optimism is exciting.
We are homo sapiens, exceptional and supreme. We are about to transcend Deep Nature. Nature needed to be redesigned and engineered; that’s our grand purpose. Great Nature created the creator of its makeover.
God’s will has always been human.
One can prompt an LLM librarian to say whatever you want to hear. AI was born of the competitive, wealth-hoarding Nature of conquistadors. AI will make us the best version of ourselves.
Civilization can not be naturalized. We evolved to remake Nature in our image, an image we can’t live with because it’s not yet powerful enough.
Explore the ontology of human consciousness (my mind model of me) and comprehend its implications and cost.
People want to lord over creation, as their Big Gods have for millennia, or serve their masters while ruling over smaller domains.
Our stories teach us to submit to a higher power or to take control.
Andres Indest tells conquistadors what they want to hear. The LLM librarian will lead us to the promised land beyond the Singularity, where Artificial Human Intelligence makes us all gods. AI is your destiny.
Would you rather be a god or slime mold? Would you rather serve god or slime mold?
One way or another, this civilization will come to an end soon.
Meet Andres Indset.
BUSINESS PHILOSOPHER & TECH-EVANGELIST
The Norwegian-born philosopher, deep-tech investor, and former top athlete Anders Indset has been recognized by Thinkers50 as one of the leading thinkers in technology and leadership. Anders is a bridge-builder between humanity and technology, shaping the economy of tomorrow with his practical philosophy. With two decades of experience working with multinational companies, he is a trusted sparring partner for international CEOs and political leaders, and a guest lecturer at leading international business schools. With his deep understanding of the impact of exponential technologies, Anders demonstrates how and why leadership and its relationship to philosophy are more relevant than ever. He firmly believes that in a world with nearly unlimited access to knowledge, a deeper understanding and the ability to anticipate future scenarios, combined with the development of interpersonal skills, will be the most sought-after qualities for leaders.
In addition to writing books that regularly appear on international bestseller lists, he brings his ideas to life as an investor in exponential technologies such as AI, quantum technology, healthtech, and cybersecurity, helping companies scale their products and services. Anders shares his insights at his “Thinking out Loud” events, which range from small CxO retreats to large conferences with several thousand participants. His diverse background and unique, inspiring presentation style make him one of the most sought-after keynote speakers of today.
