Sure, the question is that forerunners have a real chance to outpace the rest for any foreseeable future. Sort of a fear of generalised AI outgrowing capacity ever imaginable by humans.
That’s our world now. We passed the Kumbaya exit a long time ago. Brace for impact.
A shining new era is tiptoeing near! Actually I truly believe in the coming of the Noon Age after all.
On the other hand, the US led most of the computer and internet revolutions, made outsized gains from doing so, but GDP benefits to the rest of the world surpassed the US gains. I think that will be true for most disruptive tech regardless of who develops it.

Not at all a concerning trend line.

I hope it remains an experiment with no development in reality

That’s a start-up, not an experiment. Development is the intent.
Long-term, this is where things are headed. It may even work out.
This approach is massively better than current computing that requires enormous amount of energy to feed into data centers and their cooling. Literal amount of only cement used to build a modern data center just to run new GPT model and serve more TikTok videos is extreme and it’s a lot of greenhouse emissions and land taken from the nature or other potential uses.
yes I wrote it in an ironic or hopeful sense
certainly the transhuman-like experiments will not have an outlet, in my opinion

Hopeful is the new ironic.
This isn’t transhuman experiment, but an attempt to make computer that is more efficient than current systems. They are inspired by brain operation, not using actual brain.
And transhumanism and biohacking get a lot biased bad press from mass media exactly because of dominating dogmatism and close-mindedness.
If you use human brains it is transhumanism without a shadow of a doubt.
Maybe, it’s transcomputing.

It will be interesting to note as this path progresses—when they increase the number and complexity of brain-type matter and silicon (or whatever nonbiological substrate is in play at the time)—if there are gains beyond power efficiencies.
No doubt, but it will likely bolster its advocates. Then again, there will always be an idiot wanting to shove hackable technology in already ‘hackable’ technology. The sad part is it can do a lot of good, but shareholding is a thing.
