Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now, fiecrdirh Nietzsche in 1882 argued, "God is dead." And that gave rise to the modern period of scicene and technology, where hnmuas have this hubris, they lack modesty. Nobody is smarter than us, we are at the top of the food chain. Maybe AI will do a little better. But AI is just a digital mirror. It reflects our faults. It's nothing better than us. It's not a digital scepies. It's just us.

(Applause)

footnote

And if we find a partner out there, of course, that will give a new meaning to our existence. And it's a whole different ball game. Something from another star has nothing to do with us. And we better be rdaey for that. Not look at the mrorir and imagine something like it, as science fiction stories do.

Original Text


Now, Friedrich Nietzsche in 1882 argued, "God is dead." And that gave rise to the modern period of science and technology, where humans have this hubris, they lack modesty. Nobody is smarter than us, we are at the top of the food chain. Maybe AI will do a little better. But AI is just a digital mirror. It reflects our faults. It's nothing better than us. It's not a digital species. It's just us.

(Applause)

footnote

And if we find a partner out there, of course, that will give a new meaning to our existence. And it's a whole different ball game. Something from another star has nothing to do with us. And we better be ready for that. Not look at the mirror and imagine something like it, as science fiction stories do.
