    And assuming that human beings work on it imagine what skills and abilities you could acquire.

    It’s kind of like the piccolo thing in Star Trek the next generation with picard. Like imagine playing a video game and then coming home and being a rockstar guitarist on par with Slash, or getting 50 years worth of meditation and monk training in before work on Monday on top of a second lifetime full of martial arts training.

    Something like that would be so revolutionary it would dwarf any kind of nonlethal AI apocalypse in comparison.
