Elon Musk as AI in the Future

Top Left: A future Elon Musk AI of TESLA robotics company is represented in an adaptation of a graphic established by AI Hahnvision, Midjourney AI. At top-right is a possible intermediate version, though less realistic appearing, Elon Musk AI as transferred into a humanoid robot shell. 

In the future, the race will be on to offer more and more sophisticated "shells" optimized for appearance, motion, senses, hearing, vision etc. for accepting digital uploads of people. 3D printers may recreated the near exact likeness of people, placed on a capable shells of androids where encompassing myriads of dead people will have options to populate the Earth and beyond as new forms of multiplanetary beings, i.e. digitized avatars of potential immortality. 

In this case scenario, the genius of Elon Musk, driven by mountains of historical Musk data and advanced general artificial intelligence could theoretically answer questions of humanity with the digital soul and embodiment characterized heart of Elon Musk for all eternity.

DIGITAL SELF PRESERVED THROUGHOUT TIME
Elon Musk as AI in the Future
The transformation of converting humans into AI through a digital process will likely happen over time through the collection and harvesting of data about that that individual. Actors, famous people and eventually the public will be brought back to life. Famous Elon Musk of TESLA, SpaceX, the Boring Company, Solar City, OpenAI, and Neuralink is undoubtedly headed in this direction.


In the future, we may bring dead people back to life through their digital representation avatars, a process that can happen a lot sooner than the complete and possibly more complex digitization of the human brain and then transferring it into an empty android vessel shell.

Left: The world's first prototype TESLA bot is about to be revealed on Elon Musk's second AI Day on September 30, 2022.  The bot is expected to go into production next year and eventually number in the millions, changing humanities way of life.

The TESLA Optimus humanoid robot is expected to do work that humans don't want to do (boring, repetitive, dangerous), take care of the elderly, act as romantic and sexual companions, and could likely serve as the necessary vessel for transferring one's digital self or clone into the machine for self preservation into the far distant future.

Digital immortality
Digital immortality (or "virtual immortality") is the hypothetical concept of storing (or transferring) a person's personality in digital substrate, i.e., a computer, robot or cyberspace (mind uploading). The result might look like an avatar behaving, reacting, and thinking like a person on the basis of that person's digital archive. After the death of the individual, this avatar could remain static or continue to learn and self-improve autonomously (possibly becoming seed AI). A considerable portion of transhumanists and singularitarians place great hope into the belief that they may eventually become immortal by creating one or many non-biological functional copies of their brains, thereby leaving their "biological shell". These copies may then "live eternally" in a version of digital "heaven" or paradise. Wiki  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_immortality

Digital Cloning
Digital cloning is an emerging technology, that involves deep-learning algorithms, which allows one to manipulate currently existing audio, photos, and videos that are hyper-realistic. One of the impacts of such technology is that hyper-realistic videos and photos makes it difficult for the human eye to distinguish what is real and what is fake. Furthermore, with various companies making such technologies available to the public, they can bring various benefits as well as potential legal and ethical concerns. Digital cloning can be categorized into audio-visual (AV), memory, personality, and consumer behaviour cloning. In AV cloning, the creation of a cloned digital version of the digital or non-digital original can be used, for example, to create a fake image, an avatar, or a fake video or audio of a person that cannot be easily differentiated from the real person it is purported to represent. A memory and personality clone like a mindclone is essentially a digital copy of a person’s mind. A consumer behavior clone is a profile or cluster of customers based on demographics.

Create A Digital Clone Of Yourself


How do you feel about creating a digitized version of self to represent you in case of death? Maybe you want a digitized version now so you can be in two places at the same time? It could be fantastic for future relatives to be able to talk to your digital self. The value of preserving the family genealogical tree would be deeply beneficial to your loved ones.

Adapting Deep Thinking AI Robot for Space Travel


Adapting Deep Thinking AI Robot for Space Travel - Space AI

The combined efforts of Big Brain Technologies and SPACE1 Technologies are developing a Deep Thinking AI Robot adapted for Space Travel. The AI lifeform will have the power to fly a craft with vision sensors and arm mobility and communicate with other pilots and astronauts verbally. Space AI is autonomous and can charge its built-in battery and has access to its own deep thinking AI cloud which can be transferred into space. Space AI is ideal for colony adaptation.

Brain Cortex Mind Uploading Part 19

1st Brain in a bottle - part of the family
BRAIN CORTEX MIND UPLOADING PART 19
Mind uploading, mind transfer or whole brain emulation is a use of a computer as an emulated human brain, and the view of thoughts and memories as software information states. The term mind transfer also refers to a hypothetical transfer of a mind from one biological brain to another.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_uploading_in_fiction

— Humanoido Labs has created an artificial life form and given it a small intelligence to accept a part of a human brain for an example simplified human-to-machine brain transfer

— brain transfer can lead to longer life, immortality and a clear cut path to seeing and experiencing the future — 

Will People Alive Today Have the Opportunity to Upload Their Consciousness to a New Robotic Body?

http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-03/achieving-immortality-russian-mogul-wants-begin-putting-human-brains-robots-and-soon

STEVE JOBS UPLOADED
When Steve Jobs passed away last year, a joke bounced around--not that there was anything particularly funny about it--that the man who had done so much to shape modern technology hadn't really died at all, but rather had figured out how to upload himself into the Mac OS so he could live on with us, and with his products, forever. The notion was ostensibly so far out as to be ridiculous. But not everyone sees it that way. 

CONGRESS
At the recent Global Future 2045 International Congress held in Moscow, 31-year-old media mogul Dmitry Itskov told attendees how he plans to create exactly that kind of immortality, first by creating a robot controlled by the human brain, then by actually transplanting a human brain into a humanoid robot, and then by replacing the surgical transplant with a method for simply uploading a person's consciousness into a surrogate 'bot. 


HOSTING HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS
He thinks he can get beyond the first phase--to transplanting a working brain into a robot--in just ten years, putting him on course to achieve his ultimate goal--human consciousness completely disembodied and placed within a holographic host--within 30 years time.


BRAIN PLANTING
Russian Mogul’s Plan: Plant Our Brains in Robots, Keep Them Alive Forever.
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/02/dmitry-itskov/
The Pentagon’s new Avatar project, unveiled by Danger Room a few weeks back, sounds freaky enough: Soldiers practically inhabiting the bodies of robots, who’d act as “surrogates” for their human overlords in battle.

But according to Dmitry Itskov, a 31-year-old Russian media mogul, the U.S. military’s Avatar initiative doesn’t go nearly far enough. He’s got a massive, sci-fi-esque venture of his own that he hopes will put the Pentagon’s project to shame. Itskov’s plan: Construct robots that’ll (within 10 years, he hopes) actually store a human’s mind and keep that consciousness working. Forever.


IMMORTALITY
Scientists Are Convinced Mind Transfer Is the Key to Immortality

http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/scientists-are-convinced-mind-transfer-is-the-key-to-immortality
“This project is leading down the road to immortality,” Itskov, who founded New Media Stars, a Russian company that runs several online news outlets, tells Danger Room. “A person with a perfect Avatar will be able to remain part of society. People don’t want to die.”

Call it mind transfer, uploading, brain backup, whatever—the idea of copying the human brain to a computer so it can live on without the body has a strong hold on futurists, neuroscientists, and folks that just want to live forever.

STEPHEN HAWKING
Also Stephen Hawking. At screening of a new film about his life this week, the cosmologist said he believes it's possible to retain a digital version of the brain after the body dies—though it probably won't happen in his lifetime.  

"I think the brain is like a program in the mind, which is like a computer, so it's theoretically possible to copy the brain onto a computer and so provide a form of life after death," he told a crowd in Cambridge, reported the Guardian. "However, this is way beyond our present capabilities."

RAY KURZWEIL
Futurist and transhumanist Ray Kurzweil, Google's director of engineering, suggested at the event that we'll be able to transfer the entire human mind to a computer within four decades. "Based on conservative estimates of the amount of computation you need to functionally simulate a human brain, we'll be able to expand the scope of our intelligence a billion-fold,” Kurzweil said at the conference.

GOOGLE
The quest for immortality has been enjoying a moment in the limelight this month, not least because of Google's new moonshot project, Calico, which will focus on studying the science of aging—namely, how we can stop it from happening.

EXTEND THE BRAIN
Larry Page is just one of a crop of influential wealthy businesspeople that have poured millions into immortality research lately. But while Calico tackles how to slow down our physical decay, many futurists believe that the key to extending human life isn't the body, it's the brain. 

PENTAGON PROGRAM
Pentagon’s Project ‘Avatar’: Same as the Movie, but With Robots Instead of Aliens
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/02/darpa-sci-fi/
Soldiers practically inhabiting the mechanical bodies of androids, who will take the humans’ place on the battlefield. Or sophisticated tech that spots a powerful laser ray, then stops it from obliterating its target.

REAL WORLD APPS

If you’ve got Danger Room’s taste in movies, you’ve probably seen both ideas on the big screen. Now Darpa, the Pentagon’s far-out research arm, wants to bring ‘em into the real world.

BUDGET
In the agency’s $2.8 billion budget for 2013, unveiled on Monday, they’ve allotted $7 million for a project titled “Avatar.” The project’s ultimate goal, not surprisingly, sounds a lot like the plot of the same-named (but much more expensive) flick.

According the agency, “the Avatar program will develop interfaces and algorithms to enable a soldier to effectively partner with a semi- autonomous bi-pedal machine and allow it to act as the soldier’s surrogate.”


YOUR AVATAR
So how would Itskov’s “Avatar” work? Well, he anticipates developing the program in stages. Within the next few years, Itskov plans to deploy robots that can be operated by the human mind. That’s actually not too wild a proposition: Pentagon-backed research has already demonstrated a monkey controlling a robotic arm using some nifty mind-meld tech, for example. And one study on human patients, out of Johns Hopkins, is using brain implants to control artificial limbs.

THE PLAN

After phase one of “Avatar,” however, Itskov’s ambitions arguably eclipse even those of the Pentagon’s maddest mad scientists. In 10 years, he anticipates “transplanting” a human mind into a robotic one. After that, Itskov wants to do away with surgical procedures and instead upload the contents of the mind into its brand new, artificial robo-body. And, last but not least, within 30 years Itskov anticipates developing hologram-type bodies — instead of tangible robotic ones — that can “host” human consciousness.

HOLOGRAMS
“Holograms give plenty of advantages. You can walk through walls, move at the speed of light,” he says.


MIND TRANSFER
http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/M/mind_transfer.html
The hypothetical transfer of a human mind either into a computer or other non-human receptacle, or from one human body to another; also referred to as mind uploading or mind downloading. Transference to a computer would result in a form of artificial intelligence sometimes called an infomorph, while transference to an artificial body would result in a cybernetic organism, or cyborg. Uploading consciousness into bodies created by robotic means is a goal of some in the artificial intelligence community. In this scenario, the consciousness is assumed to be recorded and/or transferred to a new robotic brain, which generates responses indistinguishable from the original organic brain. However, it is not known how much computer memory or processing capacity, or what kind of architecture, would be needed to simulate the activity of a human mind inside a computer.

Mind Transfer in the Extraordinary Future
http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/curriculum/extraordinary_future/PhillipsCh4.php

In the scenarios presented there are usually several parts to the process. First, we have to ascertain the contents or details of an individual's mind. Primarily this would be done by scanning it, either invasively (destructively) or noninvasively. Then we have to transfer the results of the scan into a robot brain or construct a robot brain to match the structure of the human brain scanned.

GROWING BRAINS
http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/curriculum/extraordinary_future/PhillipsCh4.php
Paul and Cox also discuss the possibility of mind transfer via a transplant process scenario, in which parts of a person's brain are systematically replaced by electronic parts from a robot brain. They envision replacing each neuron, synapse, and connection with a circuit switch and line that functions like the natural system. At the end the mind has been transferred to the robot brain. They also mention the possibility of growing the brain to twice its size (twice as many neurons), with all information duplicated. The brain is then spilt down the corpus callosum and each half put into a new body, and you wind up with two people and successful mind duplication. However, this would not be an instance of mind transfer from human brain to robot brain (Paul & Cox, 1996, p. 189). 

BECOMING A LOT SMARTER
http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/curriculum/extraordinary_future/PhillipsCh4.php
In his earlier work Mind Children, Moravec presents several possible scenarios for mind-transfer. He clearly recognizes that transfer must maintain personal identity for it to be a continuation of the same person. Transplanting a brain into a robot body would not be enough, because it would not have changed the limitation of the limited and fixed intelligence of the human brain. What is needed is a way to get the mind out of the brain (Moravec, 1988, p. 109). Here of course we see that another goal of mind transfer is not immortality but getting a lot smarter.

GGT Faceplate Control Icon Rework

GGT FACEPLATE REWORK WITH CONTROL  ICONS
Punch up these new icon controls to engage massive and powerful functions when traveling through the Universe!

This is a worked up sample face-plate for the new GGT telescope, showing all new icons to the right of the image in a separate section. The image section has a small space for post-it notes in the lower left corner, an anchor hole at the top left, and the image sizer control in the upper right.

The icon section, from top to bottom, shows symbols for the Molecular Processor, Genius, Power Dynamic, Paradigmic, Explorer Class, ET Enhanced Technology, Adventure Class, and the Recycler. In the middle we see Supercomputer, Gravatomic, and Adjunctive. The icon section also includes the image positioner scaler. Although placement can vary, this is only a suggested guide when using all the icons at this time. It's anticipated other icons will be introduced, in particular, one representing AI, as the adaptation of future telescopes will undoubted depend more and more on new aspects of machine intelligence.
