John Lennox, Christianity Expert expresses his concerns with AI & Trans-humanism.
Host: “Why are you so concerned about AI, as a Mathematician & a philosopher?”
John: “Well because I’m interested in the bigger picture… Anything that raises questions about the nature of human identity.”
“I was first struck by the drive for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)… It’s the prime motivation of people like Sam Altman.”
“But within that (AGI), there’s a notion of Trans-humanism… the idea is that we go beyond the human… Some scientists believe there will be some kind of merger between human and machine.”
Victor Wembanyama talks about what it takes to be one of the greats. 🏀
Reporter: “I think the common sentiment in the NBA is ‘be patient, you’ll get there eventually’ you gave me a look like you don’t think thats true.”
Wemby: “I agree being patient to some extent… i think being impatient could be a virtue at times…”
“All those greats, they have been impatient… If you’re impatient 10 times, maybe 9 times you’re just impatient… but that one time, can make you over-achieve & that’s the difference between good & great.”
“When has one of the greats been patient or content with falling short.”
