The brightest mind in physics has declared the end of the world at the hands of Artificial Intelligence
In this article, Brian Capitao explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and human consciousness. He references Stephen Hawking's warning about the potential dangers of advanced AI and discusses the concept of cybernetics as a feedback system for both living and automated systems. Capitao delves into the work of AI researcher Ray Kurzweil and physicist Leonard Mlodinow, touching on the evolution of human consciousness and the role of neural networks in learning. The article also examines David Chalmers' 'hard problem' of consciousness and includes insights from Toronto-based actor AJ Jaywar on the spiritual aspect of consciousness. The piece further explores Ken Wilber's integral system of transcendence and Michio Kaku's ideas on cosmic consciousness. Neuroscientist Stuart Hameroff's quantum theory-based views on consciousness are also discussed. Capitao concludes by suggesting that understanding cybernetics and consciousness could impact various aspects of society, including foreign policy, art, and therapy, and posits that science and religion may both offer explanations for the nature of reality.
