you can’t fool me that’s a lanternfish
This is transhumanist.
No. Toolmaking is just humanist. Transhumanism is a fantasy genre that looks like hard scifi to people autistic enough to think the no-cloning theorem couldn’t possibly apply to consciousness.
I mean, Transhumanism isn’t just upload civilizations. It’s also robot arms.
And we already have robot arms, so it’s likely just a matter of time before they exceed regular arms.
Singulitarianism, on the other hand…
Robot arms are still specialized. Only human arms are generalized. We must embark on a quest for AGA. Artificial general arms.
MIRI will of course join the effort. I wonder what the combined acronym should be.
Also, rocks are artificial specialized arms. They do more damage when you hit people with them.
Look man, all I’m saying is that we can totally add cybernetic tails to Rationalist catgirls, and it’ll only take, like, one aug slot, tops. Only 0.1% chance of a feedback loop overloading the central nervous system and causing a blackout.
So I’m gonna need you to back my Neko no Shippo kickstarter in 2033.
