Co-intelligences and disembodied A.I.s

 In my post of 25 August 2024 I describe how machinery augments my biological intelligence. Conversely, biological senses and intelligence can be used to supplement/augment a computer system. For example, we can replace one or more (all?) of the lowest layer elements of the concept hierarchy* in my post of 4 September 2024 with human input. If the lowest layer is completely replaced with human supplied inputs we then have a disembodied A.I. (This may or may not be desirable.)

* as well as some preprocessing, like the ANNs in my 4 September post.

dia de los muertos

A year ago for the day of the dead I listed a number of ways in which we might be immortal but I forgot to mention cloning (perhaps in combination with life logging across generations).
