It's basically bunch of people who see themselves as too smart to believe in God, instead they have just replaced it with AI and Singularity and attribute similar stuff to it eg. eternal life which is just heaven in religion. Amodei was hawking doubling of human lifespan to a bunch of boomers not too long ago. Ponce de León also went to search for the fountain of youth. It's a very common theme across human history. AI is just the new iteration where they mirror all their wishes and hopes.
You realize that science and technology does in fact produce medical breakthroughs that cure disease, right?
On the other hand, prayer doesn’t heal anybody and there’s no proof of supernatural beings.
The boomers he was talking to will be long underground before we will have any major cures for the diseases they will die from lmao. Maybe in 200 years?
Btw, so will you and I most likely.
