[Fis] AI is going to be wildly more devastating than any recent technology [ ??? ]

Fri Apr 24 18:28:47 CEST 2026

Dear Pedro et al., as I see it, our consciousness is embedded in our
physiology, as I shared with FIS a while back. In that vein, AI can account
for local consciousness, but not for non-local consciousness, the latter
being executed by the 'observer' as our connection with the Cosmos. But, if
AI can be made to appear complex, the end-users may think that it's
accounting for non-local consciousness....which puts non-local
consciousness as our 'birthright' at risk. Please feel free to comment...

Best, John
