The assumption that human consciousness can be uploaded to a suitably fast machine is a big leap. Daniel Wegner's the illusion of conscious will and other physical determinism is theoretical and full of holes. Sheldrake is a good antidote to this Wegneresque mind-prison that seems to trap people like Andreessen and Buterin. I'm not advocating for luddites, and we should continue to learn about consciousness and the brain, but be open to the possibilities that there are forces at work that we do not currently perceive or understand. AI should replace human governance, but the biggest danger with this transition is that those in power today have a wildly different vision for how the future should look. Their vision is clearly techno-communism and digital serfdom. I'm not sure how we steer around this.
