A new belief set is uniting some of the wealthiest men in the world around a ‘transhuman’ future – actual humanity be damned
Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, took to the Internet a few years ago to propose that homo sapiens would be the first species “to design our own descendants”. In his best case scenario, the “merge” between humans and artificial intelligence occurs at some point over the next 50 years. The alternative, where we remain simply human and the machines follow their own path, is more ominous. “If two different species both want the same thing and only one can have it – in this case, to be the dominant species on the planet and beyond – they are going to have conflict,” he wrote.

The post AI Boom Could Leave Global Markets Exposed When Spending Slows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
AI spending surge raises fears over sustainability and future profitability concerns. Global markets face rising risks if AI investment growth suddenly slows worldwide. Defensive sectors could outperform during an AI market reversal period ahead globally. The artificial intelligence rally continues to fuel markets, corporate spending, and investor optimism worldwide. Technology giants still pour billions into data centers, chips, and software infrastructure. However, some analysts now warn that investors focus too heavily on how long the boom will last. Instead, they should prepare for what follows when spending growth eventually cools. History shows that every major technology surge eventually loses momentum, and the economic consequences often spread far beyond Silicon Valley. Technology investment reached nearly $1.5 trillion last year. That figure stands far above the infla

Why did Anthropic’s founder sit beside the pope during a warning about AI?
In the first major written teaching of his papacy, Pope Leo XIV took artificial intelligence to task.
