Joscha Bach's talk: https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-self-models-of-loving-grace

I really liked this talk as well. One part that I'm not sure I can fully agree with, though, is the idea of fully re-conceptualizing the self. It is possible to self-author, and partially change...but I have never heard of nor met anyone who just became a totally different person. I'm willing to concede that he may have been speaking hypothetically, or that maybe the idea of changing the self will be more accessible to AGI rather than for humanity.

That was a mind-expanding 45-minute talk. Than you for highlighting it.

Seems crazy. I identify with my agency, id est, self = agency + few memories.

This is saying the opposite?

I would guess it comes from not knowing what you want. If you don't go through the Uberman process, then you end up saying things like that.

This talk was one of the best so far, highly recommended.

They are among the highlights for me every year. Just the right amount of brain melting information density.
