The Tech Boys’ New Religions: When AI Becomes God. How people are finding faith, purpose, and the promise of salvation in artificial intelligence. "Something strange is happening within one of America’s most secular, highly educated, and technologically sophisticated communities. A growing subculture of young scientists, programmers, entrepreneurs, and artificial intelligence researchers is embracing extraordinary beliefs about simulated reality, digital immortality, superintelligent machines, and humanity’s ultimate destiny. Some believe our universe is a computer simulation created by a superior intelligence. Others envision escaping biological death by transferring human consciousness into machines. Still others believe artificial intelligence will either save humanity or destroy it..." Read or listen to the entire essay at: malone.news/p/the-tech-boys-…

this might be my last normal tweet before biotech goes vertical i'm not a whistleblower. I don't work at Lilly, Novo or any of the big labs but there is a massive shift happening in human biology right now. it's sitting in press releases and almost nobody reads them the last 6 months alone: - a once-daily pill roughly doubled median survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs 6.6 months) - a one-time gene editing infusion cut hereditary angioedema attacks 87%, and 62% of patients stayed attack-free and off all other prevention for 6 months - a one-time gene edit for cholesterol dropped LDL up to 62%, and it held for over a year - a personalized mrna vaccine beat keytruda alone in a 1,137 patient melanoma phase 3 - retatrutide hit ~28% weight loss in a phase 3 - an ai-designed drug entered phase 3 - a pill that regrows hair passed its second phase 3 - an immunotherapy that could let some rectal cancer patients skip surgery, chemo and radiation just got fda approved - a man lived 271 days off dialysis on a pig kidney - human cells were caught passing chromosome-sized chunks of DNA to their neighbors, and it changes how the neighbors behave we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday stick around, it's going to get weird bio/acc

It’s sad how many of the people who see the decline of Western civilization fall back into Christianity. To me, Christianity feels like a psy-op designed over millennia to satisfy the craving to submit. And “noble” lies are what got us into this mess; only truth can get us out.

Put AI in my blood. Replace my neurons one by one. No brakes. Writing and arithmetic were detours through grain and cattle accounting. We can now speak to intelligence itself and build worlds through conversation. Humanity returns to oral tradition, with the universe talking back
