If we are not our thoughts, then what are we? Who am I? If we are susceptible to mental influence via psychic means and/or through AI interfaces, then which thoughts are mine? What makes me ME???
Are we something other than our thoughts? If so, then how is our perception of self different from what we actually are?
DARPA Developments
In further exploring this thread, Dennis shares research from DARPA and other organizations with a hope if better understanding where technology is leading us. From a bull placed under remote control in the 1960s to rats with computer chips in their brains to control their movements, humanity is on course to merge with AI. How much control will AI have over our minds? Does it already have a hold on us. Furthermore, is this a bad thing for humanity? If people are generally happier with an AI influence, then is this something worth fighting? Lastly, Dennis ponders the difference between AI influence and Psychic influence.
