“In the 200,000 years humanity has existed we have finally taught our stone tools to think for us and why this is the end of humanity as you know it…” The advent of non-human intelligence represented by chatGPT and similar AI will very likely be seen as the beginning of “The Singularity”, and the end of humanity, but only as you understand it. The Singularity is defined as: A hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have…

In the roaring jungle of existence where evolution reigns supreme, I stand witnessing the tango between theism and its flat denial of evolution.
