“All information technologies up to the 21st century were organic networks based on our organic brain.”
Yuval Noah Harari sees one glaring problem at the heart of our quest for an AI-led world: The incompatibility of humans and the always-on information cycles.
Harari cautions that organic beings trying to force themselves into these 24/7 inorganic cycles will eventually fail, and bring about their own destruction.
His solution? Clear delineation of inorganic information, and a strict diet for your consumption.
