Kevin, what about you?

Well, so if you look at the spectrum of where we are to this kind of sanitized utopia, there's quite a bit of distance.

And we don't even know what that human experience will be in 50 years or 100 years.

What's the human machine interface?

What's the human to machine to human?

Do we directly transmit our emotions?

We don't know what that's going to mean.

And so there's kind of the great FOMO.

The Greenland shark, like they found in the ocean, it's like almost 400 years old, and it's like navigating around, you're like, this thing was around during the Gilded Age of the Dutch, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, look, again, the question of not dying and immortality is one thing, but like, the lifespan of the Earth, the lifespan of the universe, these are dealing in proportions so much beyond us, like, how about like giving us a couple hundred more years just to like,

feel it through, you know, and decide, and just read more books, live in more places, you know?

So would you let AI pick, like, someone that you want to live with, and if AI tells you that stop loving that person and start loving someone else, would you do that?

I just, I don't think...

that AI would have a reason to force that upon us, given the fact that I just suspect my inclination is that what these technologies do is expand our possibility spaces.

You know, like Kevin Kelly famously says, like, you know, technology is a double-edged sword, but as long as it creates more choices in the end, that's like a good thing.

And that seems like constraining choices.

And so I like to think that it's a great thought experiment, but I just,

I don't know.

I don't think that that's the way it would go.

The fact that we can be so brilliant and so awful at the same time, that one human can be like, man, this person reminds me that humanity can achieve anything.
