[ExI] Sick of Cyberspace?

[Giulio Prisco (2nd email)]

In the long term I see humans merging with AI subsystems and becoming
purely computational beings with movable identities based on some or
some other kind of physical hardware. I don't think there is any other
viable long term choice, not if we want to leave all limits behind and
increase our options without bonds.

But this will take long. In the meantime there are many other stepping
stones to go through, based on improving our biology and gradually
merging it with our technology.
