One thing that's interesting is that Sam Altman has been really publicly thinking about what he calls, quote, the merge for years in 2017 in a blog post.

He predicted that humans and machines would merge into some form between 2025 and 2075.

He suggested that this could be through direct brain connections or even through deep.

constant interaction with AI systems.

So in Sam Altman's view, merging with AI might be humanity's best chance of staying relevant in the future where artificial intelligence becomes more powerful than humans.

He's framed super intelligent AI as something that's like a new species, one that could end up competing with us unless we find a way to integrate with it.

And this is something that was in his blog post.

He wrote, quote, the merge has already begun and it's going to get a lot stranger.

We will be the first species to design our own descendants.

So whether Merge Labs becomes a medical breakthrough, a futuristic interface, or maybe another hyped Silicon Valley experiment.

I think this is, you know, still remains to be seen.

We're going to see what happens here.

I do think that the deal is going to make one thing clear.

The push to kind of blend human and AI is no longer science fiction.

It's now being funded, staffed, built by the same people that are shaping the future of AI.

So it's going to be interesting.

And only time will tell if Sam Altman was right and the merge has already begun.
