re: AI: The future of humanity and artificial intelligence

If you like novels...you'd find "The Transhumanist Wager" fun. Smart dude wrote it. The essential point is that there are people out there who indeed believe that the ticket to immortality and 'Heaven' is through high tech. And they will NOT be constrained by Religious Ideas or Theological-based morality which they consider ludicrous...and in effect, immoral...if it denies them their basic freedom to pursue immortality via high tech.

I found if overly dramatic and simplistic in the way it portrayed the (stereotypically stupid, selfish and evil) Religious characters. But you'll get the drift.

Brave new world coming. "I will take the wise in their own craftiness" (Good Book). I guess somebody has to do it.
