My roommate studies CS and he claims that the purpose of humanity is to give birth to a superintelligence. He does not care what happens to human afterwards.
Is he right? Is he insane?

Going to ramble
When I think of the end state, and the answer to the big questions, I used to think of something simple, something that makes sense in terms of human emotions and concepts
I think the reality is that the answer is just weird, and we would be emotionally confused or disgusted by it. Maybe a black box with a cord attached to some half organic half electronic, sentient computational cluster. This is probably what we already are and this is its attempt to experience more conscious experience before the heat death of its universe
The last swan song of all universes will be superintelligences and simulated universes - the universal choice to live in fantasy and delusion instead of letting everything go
All we have to hold on to is the heat death of the universe. It means nothing will last, good or bad. Nothing lasts, good or bad. This should be our ultimate salvation, because it prevents existentially horrifying philosophical concepts like eternal hell

He scares me when he talks like that. It's as if he's a memeber of the AGI cult or something. Does such a thing even exist? Are there really people who believe that the sole purpose for thier existence is to create an AGI so it can take over???
>Tbh that is probably the most noble end humanity could have.
You can't be serious. What about the love for your fellow man? Don't you wanna have kids of your own?
>It's our duty to create something better than us.
You scare me too.

Beautifully said. The cost of sanity and fitting in is willful ignorance of certain psychological and physical truths.
We want abstract concepts of the past like "the 80s" and our human rights movements to matter, we want our history to matter. But we don't and it's allllll arbitrary. We could have evolved countless other ways.

with philosophy, no one is right but everyone is annoying

You should pity him greatly.
