I'd like to see a discussion on HN about implications, but don't know well how to start it. If, to (violently) paraphrase Warhol, in the future everything is obsolete after 15 minutes, and slowly evolving humans, those who don't evolve to become machine-like, become ant-like relative to Godel machines in very short order, then questions that matter to me, questions about the meaning and possible dignity of being human for instance, take on a different and more urgent character that philosophy or religion seem ill-equipped to deal with, in part just because they are so anthropocentric, and seem to assume a more or less stable concept of the human. I've no idea if and when general AI will arrive, but with a three-yr-old son, I feel the need to think about it.
