Long on the bit I care about less and short on the bit I care about more. I feel like the history of the brain isn’t really necessary to talk about the considerations for the future, and the considerations for the future are what people really need to be talking about, so you’re just going to end up with a lot of TLDR rather than meaningful discussion of the impact of AI and brain augmentation.
