AI Worship, Theological Terminology and Post-Humanism

Technologists are increasingly using theological language, such as "immortality" and "omniscience," to market artificial intelligence and transhumanism. Kujawa warns against the emerging worship of AI and mentions "AI psychosis" as a documented phenomenon resulting from over-engagement with these systems. She critiques the post-humanist claim that AI would have an easier connection to the divine mind than "messy" humans, calling the idea fundamentally flawed.

Nick Bostrom, Post-Humanism and Fractal Realities

The discussion covers Nick Bostrom's philosophical argument regarding post-humanism and the high probability that we are currently living in a simulation. If a civilization reaches the point of creating millions of simulations, the odds of being in the "original" reality are statistically insignificant. This leads to the concept of fractal realities, where simulations exist within simulations in an infinite loop.
