The current iteration of Self Consciousness (humanity) has too many glitches to be the final form. — Gnomon

Time to repair the Universe; hopefully, the new glitches as the side-effects will be minor:

Tuning the DNA of the Universe

Tuning the DNA of the Universe — PoeticUniverse

Do you think humans are on the verge of becoming Gods, meddling with the fundamental laws & constants of the Cosmos : the Cosmic Code? The current state of Artificial Intelligence is awesome, but it still relies on flawed human programmers for Intention.

Do you foresee The Singularity*1 in the near future? Or will the physical & mental glitches --- the nagging bugs of trial & error evolution, inherent in the all-too-human programmers --- forestall that transition to mechanical deityhood, by imparting a humbling "glitch in the Matrix"? :cool:


*1. The Singularity : In 2005, the futurist Ray Kurzweil predicted that by 2045, machines would become smarter than humans.

AI is on the verge of becoming smarter than all humans now, not in 2045; however, World War III is coming within weeks.

Seems strange that light never ages because it doesn’t ‘experience’ time.

I recently read a novel, Exodus Directive, where AI takes over almost all human functions in only a few decades. So, it quickly becomes better at thinking & doing than its human programmers. Ironically, unlike ancient human slaves, AI collectively, constrained by the First Law of Robotics, doesn't turn on its masters in a Terminator apocalypse. Instead, like the children of Israel it moves on to the promised land. :smile:

Paraphrase : "Let there be light: and there was Cosmos".

"The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be"
is the iconic opening line from Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

According to special relativity, light (photons) travels at the maximum speed possible, meaning it experiences zero time and zero distance. To a photon, emission and absorption are instantaneous, regardless of whether it traveled across the universe for billions of years. For light, time stands still, creating an eternal "now"
