Merging Humans and AI: The Rise of Biological Computers

Go to https://brilliant.org/Undecided/ and get 20% off your subscription and a 30 day free trial with Brilliant.org! It’s no secret that tech companies are racing to build “artificial general intelligence,” or AI that can match a human brain without needing a lifeline. But our brains already do the same heavy lifting with just a fraction of the resources. Whether it’s energy, water, land, components, or, you know… money… human brains are just way cheaper. Right now, you can either buy a human brain cell-based computer… or rent time on a remote one. Yep, even brainpower’s got a subscription plan these days. So what can these living computers actually do? How do they work? And, most importantly, should we be freaking out a little bit?

Stanford Economist: The AI Risk Almost Nobody Is Talking About | Erik Brynjolfsson

Stanford economist Erik Brynjolfsson explains why the greatest danger of artificial intelligence may not be mass unemployment itself, but the concentration of wealth, power, and decision-making in the hands of a small group of companies or individuals.

In this conversation, he discusses the “Turing Trap,” the disappearance and creation of jobs, universal basic income, the future of economic growth, and why businesses should use AI to amplify human abilities rather than simply replace workers. He also explains why AI could become more transformative than the Industrial Revolution, why its impact is still largely invisible in productivity statistics, and which human skills may become increasingly valuable.

00:00 – Introduction.
01:05 – Why companies focus on eliminating jobs.
03:41 – The Turing Trap.
06:51 – Which tasks and jobs should AI replace?
08:35 – Millions of jobs will disappear.
09:25 – Why stopping technological change will fail.
10:48 – Entrepreneurship, security and the jobs of the future.
12:41 – AI, universal basic income and concentrated power.
15:29 – Why AI should complement humans.
17:41 – An economy that no longer needs human consumers.
20:05 – Is the younger generation doomed?
22:38 – How AI could help less-experienced workers.
25:10 – The most valuable human skill in the AI era.
27:24 – Access to AI and the falling price of intelligence.
32:31 – Is the AI investment boom a bubble?
33:44 – Bigger than the Industrial Revolution.
34:36 – Why AI is not yet visible in productivity statistics.
39:29 – Could AI produce explosive economic growth?
41:51 – How Erik Brynjolfsson uses AI in his own work.
45:34 – Will AI replace economists and scientists?
49:53 – Is AI destroying the traditional learning process?
54:46 – Shared prosperity or unprecedented inequality?
56:27 – Could AI replace the free market?

Google Just Revealed What Comes After AGI And It’s Shocking

Google DeepMind just dropped a massive paper called From AGI to ASI, and the message is bigger than another AI release. The paper argues that AGI may not be the finish line everyone is waiting for. It may be the moment the real race begins. Once human-level AI can be copied, sped up, connected into agent teams, and used to build better AI, the jump after AGI could matter even more than AGI itself.

Oracle mitigates PeopleSoft zero-day exploited in data theft attacks

Oracle is warning about a critical PeopleSoft Suite zero-day vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026–35273 that allows unauthenticated remote code execution, with the flaw actively exploited in ShinyHunter data theft attacks.

The flaw is within Oracle PeopleSoft PeopleTools and has a CVSS base score of 9.8.

“This Security Alert addresses vulnerability CVE-2026–35273 in Oracle PeopleSoft PeopleTools. Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications customers may also be affected by this vulnerability,” reads a new Oracle advisory.

Ivanti, Fortinet, and SAP Release Patches for Multiple Critical Vulnerabilities

Fortinet, Ivanti, and SAP have released security updates to address multiple critical security vulnerabilities that could result in arbitrary code execution and information disclosure.

The security flaw patched by Fortinet relates to a command injection vulnerability in FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud, and FortiSandbox PaaS WEB UI. It’s tracked as CVE-2026–25089 (CVSS score: 9.1).

“An improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command vulnerability [CWE-78] in FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud and FortiSandbox PaaS WEB UI may allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute unauthorized commands via specifically crafted HTTP requests,” Fortinet said.

Are We the Bootloader for Superintelligence?

A 90 minute interview about AI and our human future.


Dr. Hugo de Garis is a computer scientist, AI researcher, and former professor known for his early work on evolvable hardware, artificial brains, and the long-term risks of superintelligent machines. He coined and popularized the idea of the “Artilect War,” a future conflict between those who want to build godlike artificial intellects and those who believe such systems pose an existential threat to humanity. In the interview, he describes himself as trained in pure mathematics and theoretical physics, formerly a computer science professor, and now focused on broader questions about AI, cosmology, civilization, and the future of humanity.

The interview with Prof. Hugo de Garis centers on his long-standing warning that humanity may face an “Artilect War,” a civilizational conflict over whether to build godlike artificial intellects vastly superior to humans. De Garis argues that future computation, potentially extending from nanotech to femtotech and beyond, could produce minds trillions of trillions of times more capable than ours. He distinguishes between Cosmists, who want to build such beings to expand intelligence into the universe, and Terrans, who oppose them because superintelligence may eliminate or marginalize humanity. He personally remains torn, admiring the cosmic grandeur of posthuman intelligence while recognizing the existential danger.

The conversation also covers AI timelines, recursive self-improvement, AI alignment, the U.S.-China race, the Fermi paradox, simulation theory, cyborgs, cryonics, AI-generated content, the decline of universities, and the future of work. De Garis is impressed by current AI systems, treating them almost as intellectual companions, but he doubts that humanity can guarantee long-term control over recursively improving machines. The central theme is that the question “Should humanity build artilects?” may become the defining political and moral problem of the twenty-first century.
