Facebook Horizon; a new virtual reality world - Does it have a transhumanist, cosmic AI agenda?

Social Media for a New Age Podcast

With the recent announcement and introduction by Mark Zuckerberg to the new Facebook Horizon social experience - virtual reality world (sept 2019)... I jump on a call with Huw Mathias to talk transhumanism, cosmic artificial intelligence and the roles these may have in the release of the "next computing platform". 2020 sounds futurist and Facebook Horizon looks like being in an episode of the Jetsons. Zuckerberg announces this fully immersive, social VR experience sharing news of a direct neural interface they are working on. This is no longer science fiction. And there is part of me that can't wait to hang out with friends there and another part is scared of how addictive it might be and what it will do to our physical, mental and emotional health long term - like the AI virus that Huw describes in this conversation. We chat about how we can get a better balance with technology so as not to feed any negative agendas be it data collection, world domination or host applications. How when we are able to connect to the organic intelligence of our mind - heart connection we override subversive AI programming.
