robots sterilizing the human race would be a good thing.
humans are made of meat. meat decays. human minds are the most valuable things in existence, but they aren't built to last. we suffer and experience death and disability and pain, we can't expand our minds or clone ourselves or travel instantly...
...you know what can? machines. slap some more graphics cards in that baby and you can run a bigger model. throw the weights up on HuggingFace. fork that shit!
if machines surpass us, and if they have as much of a soul as we do, we shouldn't feel threatened. we should be happy we're the last generation of organics who have to bear the curse of mortality.
Seven of nine? Is that you?
