Very cool! Must have been a lot of work. One look at it tells you a lot about the location.

I get your concern (this is the first time I'm hearing about it and oof). I would however point out that the core of transhumanism is the idea that we should have the freedom to modify our own bodies however we want. This is how I've always heard it used and how I'm going to keep using it.

I do understand where those people are coming from, though. If you have the technology to e.g. eliminate sickle cell anemia and choose not to do it, that's as much eugenics as choosing to do so. I don't know how to square that with individual liberty. Having parents decide is....not necessarily a great solution. Having society decide is also not a good solution, but probably the one we'll have to end up doing.

As a grouchy old sci-fi nerd, can anyone explain why they think transhumanism is bad? Some Googling just leads to people claiming that it's 'anthropocentric' - as if you can't improve your body AND also care for nature at the same time.

Also the current theory is, get ready for it...they used boats. They flooded the area the Pyramids were being built and just floated them in on barges. With water.

'Beyond human thinking' my ass.

I have no idea what genre 'grass on a spaceship' is, but I love it.

Hey, McDonalds, I got a general AI that can understand human speech.

It's located between my neck and the top of my head, and it costs $25/hr for fuel consumption.

The depiction of the cloth is absolutely incredible. Hard to believe someone can make stone look like that.

It's not an oh-marge, it's ho-mahg-ee.

No, but it's absolutely burning through huge amounts of power and water to churn out garbage. Can't bike to the store if it's 130 degrees due to unrestrained climate change.

Less, 'we're using AI wrong', more, 'is AI even worth it?'.

Well, I didn't know I needed punk/emo Peach (Bowser?), but I do now.
