People should read some Romero stuff.

Final thing.

We're long, but we're on religion.

So if we're going to talk about it, we should at least just talk about the Antichrist too as well.

I had Ronan Andrew on the pod earlier this week talking about their Sam Altman takedown.

And I was so upset that I hadn't seen this article by the time that we had taped it.

So I feel obliged to close the pod today by discussing it with you.

Entrepreneur Sam Altman.

is one of 25 people who have splashed the cash to join a waiting list at Nectum, a startup that promises to upload your brain into a computer to grant you eternal life.

There's just one catch.

It has to kill you first.

The process as described by the MIT Technology Review involves embalming your brain for it to potentially be simulated later in a computer.

The living customer would be hooked up to a machine and then pumped full of Nectome's custom embalming chemicals.

Nope.

The man who thought that is a good idea is the one that holds the power of our artificial intelligence future in his hands.

That's a little alarming about what he thinks about what it means to be human.

Cryogenic freezing at least has some like whimsy about it.

You know, you don't think that you're a God.

It doesn't mean that you don't believe that it's going to give you eternal life.

What you're doing is just, it's just like this hopeful wish thing.
