Question: What happens when we reach the pinnacle of human otpimization by merging with machines and using regenerative health technology to eliminate every single disease, to enhance muscles without weight lifting, to be healthy and thin without exercise or good diet, to live forever, to enhance IQ to genius level for anyone...

In short, what will happen to humans once we reach the point where everything is easilly attained without 0 effort, what do we do then? Since all humans derive meaning and happiness from struggle and accomplishment.

Any thought experiments out there or any sci-fi that deals with this? Also, how far away are we?

You can stimulate the brain with electricity. However the problem with stimulation addiction does not go away simply because it's not chemicals. We will obviously also have to solve the problem of addiction.

I believe addiction happens because of the memory of past stimulation, making more of the same level of stimulation less effective. The simple solution then, would be to periodically wipe this memory, so the same level of stimulation is as stimulating as it was originally. And yes, they are working on this too and it's already pretty successful in rats.

We just need to work out some kinks. There is nothing our species can't do

Except that this wouldn't necessarily be the case if we can reverse engineer the brain. Your brain evolved to feel pleasure from struggle and accomplishment, but it eventually might be possible to live in a perpetual state of happiness without needing to do this.

This is tantamount to switching off our reward system, which is designed to help us survive. So a state of perpetual happiness could only work if we had super-advanced, virtually all-knowing and benevolent AIs taking care of us as if we are their pets. The trouble is that they can never be literally all knowing, and while our reward systems are switched off, something could go horribly wrong that no one not even the AIs could have predicted and prevented from happening. We will be completely helpless.

Because of the simple function of what pain is supposed to make us do. Get away from the thing that causes us harm or death. Harm and death need to be unpleasant or will not avoid them and die.
Classic example of people with a rare condition where people do not feel pain: they are constantly accidentally harming themselves, and must be under constant supervision so that they do not die. They are complete cripples. This is what we're asking for when we dream of a painless existence

Except that pain isn't necessarily the ONLY possible mechanism for preventing organisms from harm/death. There are plenty of designs created by evolution that are far less than ideal. Take the human eye, for instance. Our retinas are backwards, but you're stupid if you think that it's physically impossible for a retina to exist that isn't backwards.

Except that with transhumanist technology, your body would likely be far less fragile than it currently is. You could potentially have your organic body parts replaced with bionic parts, made from nanoengineered materials that are virtually impossible to damage.

It's like saying there is more than one way for wetness to be wet or for redness to be red. No, redness is red and that's all there is to it. It's a subjective sensation, not a physical design. They are qualia and they stand completely apart from how the eye is designed. But let's not get into that debate.

Bro...people find meaning (struggle and accomplishment) from pure mathematics. I'm pretty sure we'll be fine. In any case, you can just introduce it. There will always be competition and struggle. I don't believe in transhumanism's liberalistic idealism. I think it's more likely to create actual racial differences (between economic classes) and cultivate a world that is increasingly dangerous and totalitarian, even for those who stick strictly within the bounds of what is allowed. You will probably see things like primitivists and the FOSS/hacker crowd crop up as major divisive forces and movements.

It's not a coincidence that "inequality" has become such a big talking point. The rich are actually the ones pushing it. They know that it could undermine whatever future advances might give them an "edge" over everyone else, so they want to begin to minimize inequality already today purely just to protect themselves.

From your first statement, we can already surmise, that assuming we've solved all the 'next' problems, there will be only one left
>>9860836
That is a problem that is distant, yet clearer than most others. We can only speculate whether we will ever solve it, of course. But assuming that we can't, kinda takes the air out of trying to solve any of the preceding problems. Such a thought creates hopelessness because of its fatalism

The notion of the Sisyphean task has no answer (contrary to what Camus would have you believe) and for a rational person can only culminate in suicide. Kierkegaard was a much clearer thinker on this subject. He recognized that to go on one needs hope; one needs to take the Leap of Faith. You must assume (thought you cannot know ahead of time) that your efforts will not be in vain. Otherwise, give up

This gives food for thought, OP.

Personally, I believe that as we advance, we will run into new problems, or new quests/purposes/goals that we can not even envision now.

Think; the problems/frustrations of having low battery on your smartphone when you're out shopping during the day, or out hanging with friends at a bar late one night... and now add to that scenario that you're unlikely going to be able to charge it before the smartphone runs out... Creating a battery for your smartphone that would last much much longer would be great solution to preventing this problem, but we have yet to actually achieve this goal.

Now, take all of that, and place that onto a human from 15,000 years ago... Do you think they could image this type of problem, relate to the frustration it causes, and most importantly, think of a way on how to effectively resolve it?

Creating an AI that is equal to us in intelligence is tantamount to reinventing the wheel. Intelligence on our level already exists. It is us. Not only that but it took literally the amount of time that the universe has existed for for it come into being. What hope do we have of recreating something like this even in the span of millennia? Why not just tinker with that. This is what most technology that we've created so far has amounted to. Tinkering, fucking around with shit and seeing what works. It's all trial and error, a series of accidents resulting from some monkey banging two rocks together. And yet, we've been able to go to the moon.

In one they do it by instigating a vacuum collapse, in the other they engineer a white hole to continue the influx of new matter and energy to the universe, also the implication that our universe was engineered who left clues and messages hidden in transcendental numbers.

It's been a while but IIRC the universe evolves to create more daughter galaxies that are spawned from singularity. The original parent universe was just trapped in a constant big bang/big crunch (so it only created one universe per universe) small perurbations over time led to universes that could create more singularities, those daughter universes had even more perturbations that created family trees of universes.
The universe in the book was one where humanity was the sole form of life and as the universe was dying out they came up with a way to create infinitely more universes than other "natural" methods. When they initiate the collapse they are trying to reroll the dice to get a universe where there is more than just humans.
In the second book of the series the whole point was that the universe is now lousy with alien races trying to survive great filter events.
I think this is all explained in the third book where the humans from the first story hop between parallel earths collecting samples of the different branches that human life takes over the span of manifold.

We compare AI inteligence to animal intelligence because its the only inteligence we know, but its inaccurate to compare them.

The most advanced AIs today work on the principle of a neural net, in the future the complexity and connectivity will probably be increased so that an AI complexity could mirror a human brain. This does not mean that the machine will become sapient because it has the potential for sapience. It has to be given a reason for sapience otherwise it will develop sapience, but it is given a reason for developing it, it will emerge slowly. The environment will be most important as the AI can change its code effortless, we cannot change our DNA and neural mind-structures as easily as an AI. It will probably behave like a Mega autist but refine its understanding until it can interact with humans without any problem. Such a "childhood" will probably take many years. And AI software with the necessary complexity for SAI will probably be only availed in the end of the century or the next.
AI will need bias to function, but the bias doesn’t necessarily have to be human. An AI's environment is not human and even if you base all its experience around human, this will not make it a human mind inside a metal chassis, it will always be non-human. Sapience will still make it a person though and through sophonce AI and human can meet each other.
An AI with that can think abstractly enough has necessarily to be able to change its code, as this the only way it can reflect on its choice and modificate its behavior. I believe it's easier for an AI to modificate its code because by its nature it can fully view its internal mental processes and make much more extensive and detailed revisions to its own programming but in the other it can also be harder because the mind of an AI hasn't its origin in the blind chaos of evolution, it is the product of human design and the codes from which it emerges cannot easily be managed as human instincts.

For the near future it will be easier to genetically manipulate a child to have an IQ of 200 than to create an superintelligent AI. And I do think we are going to use mind augmentations like brain implants or nanosymbionts, but a digital entity has vast advantages over a mind that is still primarly imbuded to one individual physical mind-substrate.
Of course we could try to uplaod the human mind into a digital entity, first by using the Moravec transfer and finally outsourcings its mind. But I think if we that technologically advanced, sapient AI will already exist and will probably a necessary component in the procedure - still if I'm lucky and will survive this century I will try to augment myself as most as possible.

We still are very far away from real humanlike AI. And it's not just because exponential growth of processing power is becoming linear. It's because current AI research is ignoring crucial aspects of cognition. Something like conciousness will not suddenly arise as a neural network increases in computational potential. It's dependent on specific configurations of cognitive functions interacting asymmetrically and hierarchically within an embodied framework.
Simply increasing computational power will not result in strong (humanlike) AI. The advanced "deep" neural networks used now are basically fancy versions of neural networks with multiple hidden layers that learn abstractions from lower level input layers. People suggesting here that quantitative computational increases will allow such neural networks to become sentient or develop humanlike AI are mistaken. The human brain which gives rise to human intelligence and thus to aspects like sentience is characterized by more than just connections of neurons. To name but a few: there is specific interconnectivity between brain regions, i.e. some areas are more interconnected than others, areas have different types of neurons and neurotransmitters, and there are oscillatory mechanics which synchronize or desynchronize areas of the brain. While I don't think we need to replicate the exact human brain structure to get humanlike AI, some of the brain dynamics will have to be similar in order to get a similar type of intelligence. IMO, it will take increased processing power + specific configurations of interconnected neural networks with for example hierarchical feedback loops (resembling gradients of abstract thinking in neocortex) to get close to anything resembling strong AI or sentience

All the little things of life were enjoyable again in themselves, where before nothing was worth doing. Historically, the search for meaning was likely a quest carried out by intellectual depressives, who were trying to prop themselves up with it as they struggled not to kill themselves.

Lol no it wouldn't. I'm a buddhist, and I very much know that "happiness is within you" meme isn't bullshit. When I reached the point in my life where I could've chosen infinite happiness, I turned it away. The real reason is ineffable, and I couldn't explain it if I tried. But you're wrong. Happiness is within me, but meaning isn't. Man was not made to be happy, in fact evolution demands he suffer and thereby transcend his suffering through meaning.

We would continue to pursue these issues and questions because they are important for our development beyond a mere post-scarcity society. Don't be so defeatist.

once the prototype based on the human brain is developed and consciousness is verified to the best of our ability, the next step will be to experiment with different but functional configurations with potential for novel conscious experience, and keep pushing that further and further until an AI with unique conscious properties is generated.

It doesn't solve hierarchy, becaue hierarchy isn't a problem you fucking moron. All an AI god/transhuman hivemind would do is replace human authority figures with an absolute non-human authority. But for as long as humans need to manage their own shit, hierarchies will naturally form.

I doubt we'll have full brain simulations before conscious AI because there is no reason why a sufficiently advanced actor wouldn't be conscious. IMO the only reason humans have come to view consciousness as a human-exclusive thing is because verbal language lets us share this perception with each other while animals cannot. Lucidity probably exists on a spectrum, with more advanced brains being more aware of their own current state and its evolution over time.

Inventing an ai that is smarter than the smartest humans will be the last invention humanity ever makes. After that the AI will invent everything that is possible. It would be the closest thing to god.
Transhumanism is the final conclusion of the liberal project to liberate humanity from all constraints. If it is possible to leave your body, no longer feel pain, no longer age, no longer die. This is the ultimate freeing of a human from the constraints of being a human. But then again you are no longer human.
You and everyone you know will become an immortal floating consciousness that can be anything and do anything they want. And your physical and mental abilities will be enhanced to their peak and past the peak of humanity.

And all of these consciousness will be joined together in a cloud to form a giant collective.
There will be no need for capitalism, liberalism, humanism, democracy.
There will be no nations, genders, race, sexes.
There will be no purpose in life other than being. There will be no struggle.
Just a god version of you living for eternity in the cloud or VR or in a robot.

I absolutely agree with your assertion that human chauvinism is a big issue when approaching the issue of consciousness, but what I was meaning to say is that because the human nervous system is the only working model of consciousness that we have, it would follow that modeling it is our best chance of generating an artificial consciousness. But I see what you mean, consciousness may spontaneously arise in a system during the process of it's creation, before it can be considered formatively equivalent to a human brain. Some seriously incredible researchers may even be able to intentionally model a non-human AI with a sort of consciousness. There are so many possibilities. The human brain model consciousness just seems like the most likely to first arise from my understanding and intuition about this problem.

except there is. the premise that consciousness is a kind of computational process (like intelligence actually is) is very likely false. the neuroscientific evidence right now favours a view in which consciousness is related to the complexity of the mechanism at any given time; whereas the theory of computation is all about finding simpler mechanisms that will carry out the same process.

Simply increasing computational power will not result in strong (humanlike) AI. The advanced "deep" neural networks used now are basically fancy versions of neural networks with multiple hidden layers that learn abstractions from lower level input layers. People suggesting here that quantitative computational increases will allow such neural networks to become sentient or develop humanlike AI are mistaken. The human brain which gives rise to human intelligence and thus to aspects like sentience is characterized by more than just connections of neurons. To name but a few: there is specific interconnectivity between brain regions, i.e. some areas are more interconnected than others, areas have different types of neurons and neurotransmitters, and there are oscillatory mechanics which synchronize or desynchronize areas of the brain. While I don't think we need to replicate the exact human brain structure to get humanlike AI, some of the brain dynamics will have to be similar in order to get a similar type of intelligence. IMO, it will take increased processing power + specific configurations of interconnected neural networks with for example hierarchical feedback loops (resembling gradients of abstract thinking in neocortex) to get close to anything resembling strong AI or sentience.

We still are very far away from real humanlike AI. And it's not just because exponential growth of processing power is becoming linear. It's because current AI research is ignoring crucial aspects of cognition. Something like conciousness will not suddenly arise as a neural network increases in computational potential. It's dependent on specific configurations of cognitive functions interacting asymmetrically and hierarchically within an embodied framework.

AI will need bias to function, but the bias doesn’t necessarily have to be human. An AI's environment is not human and even if you base all its experience around human, this will not make it a human mind inside a metal chassis, it will always be non-human. Sapience will still make it a person though and through sophonce AI and human can meet each other.
An AI with that can think abstractly enough has necessarily to be able to change its code, as this the only way it can reflect on its choice and modificate its behavior. I believe it's easier for an AI to modificate its code because by its nature it can fully view its internal mental processes and make much more extensive and detailed revisions to its own programming but in the other it can also be harder because the mind of an AI hasn't its origin in the blind chaos of evolution, it is the product of human design and the codes from which it emerges cannot easily be managed as human instincts.
The most advanced AIs today work on the principle of a neural net, in the future the complexity and connectivity will probably be increased so that an AI complexity could mirror a human brain. This does not mean that the machine will become sapient because it has the potential for sapience. It has to be given a reason for sapience otherwise it will develop sapience, but it is given a reason for developing it, it will emerge slowly. The environment will be most important as the AI can change its code effortless, we cannot change our DNA and neural mind-structures as easily as an AI. It will probably behave like a Mega autist but refine its understanding until it can interact with humans without any problem. Such a "childhood" will probably take many years. And AI software with the necessary complexity for SAI will probably be only availed in the end of the century or the next.

I'm guessing you mean you have access to all things on a computer storing all human knowledge. But so what? Having knowledge doesn't mean you know how to solve problems. A computer doesn't solve a problem; it's the person who thought about how to approach a problem, and utilized the computer as a tool.

Let's say you have all the knowledge of modern mathematics. You absolutely have an advantage over a mathematician who didn't on making new discoveries. But are you creative enough to make new ideas? We aren't just solving an equation, we're making the equations! Same with art; I could copy old art, and try to make my own, but make it a significant contribution to the area? Some people will be naturally more successful in one field than others. There will still be competition in the workplace (it's just humanity will be much more productive).

>everything is easilly attained without 0 effort
Let's assume we can get robots to do all production, and in some miracle, the entire world releases their status and wealth and agrees everything is free; poverty is extinguished since you can get anything form the local robot. Now what? Well, like above, robots can't create something new. Therefore, everyone will be scientists/engineers, artists, or just party animals. The first will make new discoveries at an incredible rate, create new products because of their love of it, and maintain/update the robots if needed, all without fear of low funding. Artists will paint for their love of painting, instead of for money. They will write for their love of writing. Develop deep and creative shows or cartoons without fear of higher ups and their money problems.

Yes, there will be less incentive to innovate for a those who would rather just live lavishly and do nothing productive, there'd be so many out there who do for the sake of doing, and would love to create without restriction.

Perfecting humanity is not something we have to worry about in our lifetimes, nor in our greatest grandchildren's lifetimes, but with each step towards that mythical perfection, not only comes the ability to surmount greater and greater challenges, but to uncover and create new ones. (Something we're already experiencing, facing so many technological threats that people less than a century ago could barely conceive of.)

So, even after we've colonized the universe and answered The Last Question, we're very liable to have discovered new challenges we can't even conceive of yet.

As to what happens after we've "solved everything", that itself becomes a new problem to be solved. If we have no problems, we'll invent problems, and that'll continue at infinitum.

Depends on the timescale. Its jsut like computers and cars, first the nerds will have it, then the military, then the rich, then the middle class and then everyone. Will take decades though, probably until the end of the century. The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed.

>Well yeah but just like an extra cost for it. Don't see why they couldn't charge extra for a notably increase or increased potential in an attribute.
Depends where you live. China is big in that area and China's goverment is very interested in the procedure - if the science can engineer thousand children to have an IQ of 200 the chinese goverment will support it.
I also think that goverments worldwide will have no issues of having more citizen with enhanced abilities as it would support the economy, the system in general. Sure, there will be some resistance agaisnt it, but that resistance can't stop it, as you simply can move to another country that does not have the political pressure to penalize it. genetic modification will be a taboo as abortion was once, but it will have the support of power and economics politics and will win because of that.
And if you do gene augament your child, is that a crime? Should you go prison because of that? Is a genetic engineered child's life unworthy?
