Geoffrey Hinton, digital immortality and the AI question that got under my skin
Jason reflects on Geoffrey Hinton's lecture Will AI Outsmart Human Intelligence, and why the most uncomfortable idea is not smarter AI but structurally immortal intelligence.
Hinton’s argument is not that AI is becoming a faster version of us.
It is that digital intelligence has a structural advantage biology does not.
Human knowledge dies with the hardware. Digital knowledge can be copied, merged, restored and shared across identical systems.
That is not just intelligence. That is immortality with a search bar.
