Conflict, Fecundity and the Birth of Artificial General Intelligence

Conflict, Fecundity and the Birth of Artificial General Intelligence

by Dan | Dec 12, 2020 | Managing the Transhuman Transition

by Dan | Aug 30, 2020 | Managing the Transhuman Transition

Cognitively Enhanced Humans Will be More Valuable Than Unenhanced Humans – and We Need to Talk About it

by Dan | Oct 12, 2019 | Managing the Transhuman Transition, The Good Must Be Explored

[If that title comes across as shocking or offensive, bear with me. Before you make assumptions about my opinions on post-human morality and moral stratification, please read the article.] I was recently reading an article by Nayef Al-Rodhan called The Sustainable...
