I disagree on the inference to the recent post, which I quite liked and object heavily to Hanson’s conclusions.
The ideal end state is very different: in the post mentioned, biological humans, if cyborgs, are in control. The Hanson endpoint has only digital emulations of humanity.
This is the basic distinguishing point between the philosophies of Cyborgism vs more extreme ones like mind uploading or Hanson’s extinction of humanity as we know it for “artificial descendants.”
