I talked to @mattsheffield on the #TheoryOfChange podcast @discoverflux about #AI, #agency, #minds, #computationalIsm, and why these topics matter in today's politics because of the "scientific Trumpism" that is #transhumanism:

One day after listening to talks about brain uploading and extending life forever I watched Guillermo del Toro's beautiful #Frankenstein, and the parallels were ... ahm ... not subtle.
#transhumanism is a #deathcult
I'll try to bring the #AI enthusiasm down a notch or two at the "Hybrid Minds" event at the #MedUniversity in Vienna this week, talking about
The Cyborg Myth
or: why you still *don't* get a living being when you replace every one of its functions with mechanical components:

SWARM makes biology programmable. We mass-deploy sensors and compute through living cyborg swarms—real insects carrying ultra-light payloads (sensors, edge AI, secure communications), coordinated by our swarm autonomy and mission control.SWARM Biotactics. Here's a page at Vertex Ventures, a US-based VC associated with Temasek, about them: https://vvus.com/portfolio/swarm-biotactics/
SWARM Biotactics is developing a new category of robotics: living, intelligent systems based on insects – equipped with custom-designed backpacks for control, sensing, and secure communication. These modular bio-robotic swarms augment the natural mobility of real organisms with AI, advanced sensors, and swarm intelligence – enabling silent access, close-range ISR, and real-time data collection where no other system can reach."Living, intelligent systems based on insects". "Augment the natural mobility of real organisms".
This is likely the most influential interview (30m) that you will hear in your life.
Alex is a #physics and #neuroscientist professor.
As far from #woowoo as you can get...
He rationally critiques the ossified #materialistic #science and offers an opportunity for humans to expand its myopic and destructive obsession with a very narrow perspectives if the hard problem of #consciousness
He touches on #AI and the toxic ideology of #broligarchy , #transhumanism
