If I didn’t believe in the human soul, I would be terrified of “artificial intelligence.” If human intelligence is strictly a function of neural networks, it is only a matter of time before computer networks are more intelligent than we are. But human beings have access to reality. Computers only have access to information.

I love this thought. It reminds of when Jim Kirk defeated Starfleet's unwinnable test or Scully landed a plane on the Hudson. The power of the human spirit

Loved this post, but I also loved re-listening to the podcast interview with Kelly Kapic. Another favorite podcast of mine, Defragmenting, recently re-aired *their* interview with him from 2022. His discussion of human finiteness has also been one that I’ve thought about and shared with friends a lot since then. It’s so encouraging.
