Look, silicon valley didn't invent transhumanism in 2023. It's at least half a century older. TESCREAL is clearly antihuman but just because billionaires want to use transhumanism for bad purposes doesn't make it inherently bad. Look up definition of inherently.

I wasn't using word trans there because it wasn't my point. Just because I want to improve myself with technology doesn't make me evil. Maybe the evil part is exterminating humans, not improving humans who want to be improved. Maybe forcing an ideology on othet people is the evil part? Transhumanism itself has nothing to do with killing.

Sentences in your last paragraph are so broke I have no idea what you are saying.

I was doing speech to text at work, hence the broken paragraph, but I’ve fixed it now.

I know what inherently means, that’s not exactly a $10 word, but good job.

What technology are you imagining augmenting yourself with then?

No, but it got jammed together with the rest of the TESCREAL bundle and you can't just ignore that.

I'm 100% in favor of human augmentation, life extension, mind uploads, all that shit.

But they're not in favor of something that will be for everyone. They're in favor of something that will be reserved for an elite few so they can legally hunt us all down like deer.

I'll reiterate myself then. Maybe the evil part is hunting down people then?

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
