Yes Scorn is a nightmarish universe of odd forms and somber tapestry.

Re his book, a glance at wikipedia (helpfully linked to the relevant section, im not one of those LMGTFY link twats) might help.

That is what imho sets Ray apart from the other singularitarians (fear of robot god optional), he has actually done a lot of stuff. The keyboards, all the work in helping people with disabilities (sorry, I need to clarify, people currently alive with disabilities, not future humans who might have them) etc. Just sad that more of his life is spend on this rapture of the nerds stuff.

partially due to impossible bandwidth and compression requirements

It still amazes me they publicly posted a request for help with these compression req which are physically impossible to achieve. Nobody with a CS degree is anybody near the leadership of neuralink. In other words, you are downplaying how impossible the requirements were.

Yeah, I had not seen your post of 10 correct predictions, sorry enlightenment is mu, a bit like the question if a dog has Buddha nature.

Perhaps the same could be said of all ~~religions~~ of America.

I predict you are going to have a bad time here. And that is far before 2045.

(Edit: I hear you think, but predicting after a thing has already happened and keeps happening, that isn't really predicting now is it. And Varyk was enlightened).
