I’m questioning the plausibility of this trajectory. My intuition is that I tend to think merged humans might not be competitive or flexible enough in the long run.
For a line of humans to successfully evolve all the way to hiveminds as described, AI development need to be significantly slowed or constrained. My default expectation is that artificial intelligence would likely bootstrap its own civilization and technology independently, leaving humanity behind rather than bringing us along this gradual transformation journey.
I found this story beautifully written.
