Humans becoming more like machines.
Machines becoming more like humans.

Examples of the first include Bryan Johnson, David Goggins, anyone overindexing on habits, routines, structures effectively running their days on a set of rules.

Examples of the second include chatgpt, @aethernet, etc.

Neuralink end game, maybe.

I totally second this, Jake. When I hear about people like Bryan Johnson and the extreme lengths he goes to in trying to hack aging, it feels almost like a rejection of what makes us human. Life isn’t meant to be lived by strict routines and flawless rule-following—we’re supposed to stumble, learn, and grow through those imperfections. It’s almost like this pursuit of perfection is chasing an ideal of 'human as machine,' erasing the spontaneity and messiness that make life rich. To me, the essence of being human is rooted in our flaws, adaptability, and joy in the unexpected, not in perfecting some algorithm of living.
