Wer sich mit Künstlicher Intelligenz einigermaßen auskennt, dem springt die Scharlatanerie und Anmaßung des Artikels (unten) ins Auge.
Es handelt sich mMn um primitiven amerikanischen Machbarkeitswahn, der obendrein eine neue Form von Rassismus und Sozialdarwinismus legitimieren soll: Auf der eine Seite steht der starke, hyperintelligente, technologisch "upgedatete" Übermensch - vermögend, sonst könnte er sich das gar nicht leisten. Auf der anderen Seite steht der herkömmliche Mensch - beschränkt, ärmlich, kurzlebig und damit schon fast ein "Untermensch".
Und natürlich sollen Apple und Co. in diesem neuen "Update-Business" dick mitmischen.
Allein schon die These, dass die vermeintlichen Techno-Übermenschen in 50 Jahren ihre üppige Freizeit (die Knochenjobs machen Roboter) vor allem mit Computer-Spielen verbringen sollen, zeigt, welch Geistes Kind der Autor ist.

How upgrading humans will become the next billion-dollar industry
...As new technologies yield humans with much longer battery lives, killer apps and godlike superpowers, within the next six decades, ... even the finest human specimens of 2017 will in hindsight seem like flip phones.
There is, of course, a catch. Many of us will remain flip phones, as the technology to upgrade humans to iPhones is likely to be costly, and regulated differently around the world. These advances will likely “lead to greater income inequality than ever before,” Harari said. “For the first time in history it will be possible to translate economic inequality into biological inequality.”
Such a divide could give rise to a new version of “old racist ideologies that some races are naturally superior to others,” Harari said. “Except this time the biological differences will be real, something that is engineered and manufactured.”
At the same time, these superhumans will have less and less to do, Harari, said, because robots and artificial intelligence will perform more and more of the jobs with which obsolete humans used to be tasked.
So what will these future humans do all day? Will we sail aboard an intergalactic cruise ship sitting on our butts while sucking down junk food...
Almost, Harari said.
“The only serious answer I can give is they will play computer games,” Harari said. “Immersive, 3D virtual-reality games that will be far more fun and more exciting than anything in real life.” |
