I find it similarly fascinating.

Take for example neuralink. If you consider that interface 10 years, or further 1000 years out in the future, it's likely we will have a direct, thought-based human computer interface. Which is interesting when thinking of this for sending information to the computer, but even more so (if equally alarming) for information flowing from computer to human. Whereas today, we read text on web pages, or listen to audio books, in that future, we may instead receive felt experiences / knowledge / wisdom.

Have you had a chance to read 'Metaman: The Merging of Humans and Machines into a Global Superorganism' from 1993?
