What makes humans special though? AI will be born on Earth so we will share that common trait with it, but perhaps one should have humility to accept that future doesn’t belong to a weak species like humans.


> What makes humans special though?

We’re the most intelligent thing we’ve discovered in the universe. Also, I am human, so I have a vested interest in bad stuff not happening to humans.

Covid-19 was also born on earth. That wasn’t too flash for humanity.

Not sure how you class humans as a “weak species”? Unless you’re comparing organically life forms to hypothetical digital life?

Anyway, I suspect if any kind of life form could expand to the stars, it’d be digital.
