Episode 8.78: if the GPT family are already trans-human, would we rather be like them or ourselves?

Žižek, as I’ve said in the last couple of episodes, seems to me to be making a case for staying as we are with all our imperfections and pointing an accusing finger at something which is - potentially at least - better than we are in so many ways. This is a very strange position that raises very serious questions about whether we would rather wallow in our own mess that make the effort to try to get out of it.
