"We were always a very poor imitation of a machine."

Progress ep05 is live with @C_Angermayer, founder of atai Life Sciences and co-founder of @enhanced_games.

We discuss why fear is the real risk of the next decade, why post-capitalism looks like a Roman Republic with robots, and why the Enhanced Games might be the Woodstock of bodily sovereignty.

[D. Scott Phoenix @fuelfive]

The Enhanced Games poses a question: where’s the line between human and artificial?

I sat down with co-founder @C_Angermayer hours before a swimming world record was broken. We get into psychadelics, AI, and where the human body is heading.

Tomorrow on Progress.

People spend 8 hrs every night motionless and hallucinating, consume dead plants and animals while their bodies slowly decay, and get addicted to sugar and phones.

@brian_armstrong asks what an upgrade might look like.

[D. Scott Phoenix @fuelfive]

"You have to be willing to be vilified to build anything interesting in the world."

Progress ep04 is live with @brian_armstrong, cofounder and CEO of @coinbase.

We discuss why becoming AI might actually feel great, why the most unimpeachably good charity still got hit pieces, and why delaying progress kills people too.

Otherwise great article!

I wrote about the growing fight over who controls the data in your brain — and how that's dovetailing with broader conversations about what it means to be human: https://t.co/O8q2MjmZrw

@velvetere Trying not to look away from hard truths!

[D. Scott Phoenix @fuelfive]

A lot of strong feelings in the comments section.

The arrival of AI might be a rocky experience for civilization, and the fear and anger about going through a big change makes sense.
