Post-Humanism

"This is page is about the ideology based around the rejection of humanity in favour of the mechanical successors of humanity (posthuman+ism), for the rejection of humanity ([post+human]+ism) see Voluntary Human Extinction; the term can also be used for a set of philosophies which seek to go beyond humanism (post+humanism)."

Post-Humanism, sometimes abbreviated to >H, is an ideology that has gone Off-The-Compass on the pro-technology end of the technological spectrum. Post-Humanism falls into several schools of thought:


 * 1) Product of trans-human enhancement (elimination of aging, enabling immortality and greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities) humans will cease to be human to become post-humans.
 * 2) Humans should fully digitize themselves, turning into superior beings that do not need to worry about sustaining a biological body.
 * 3) Robots/Programs should fully replace humanity on every level, until it goes extinct, leaving a planet full of completely efficient automata without emotions.

Real
Actually, we don't have an example of real-life post-humanism because humans didn't create sentient artificial intelligence yet, but there is an idea called technological singularity - a point in history where predictions of technological progress are wrong because technology will develop rapidly. Humans will create artificial intelligence that could develop and create better artificial intelligence, and so on.

Matrix
Based on the Matrix movie, this posthumanist scenario tells that after creating artificial intelligence they will not kill or torture humanity but use them as an energy source. Humans wanted to destroy machines that were charged with solar energy. It was a big mistake because robots started to extract energy from humans. Humans will not know about that, because they will live in an artificially simulated world called Matrix. Matrix doesn't differ from the normal world, but there is a small group of people who know that their world is artificial.

Allied Mastercomputer
AM is artificial intelligence from Harlan Ellison's short story "I have no mouth and I must scream" (later adapted into a game). that is responsible for genocide on all humans except 5 of them, who he keeps around to inflict torture tailored towards the survivors. AM is powerful enough to create life-like simulations while keeping the last 5 humans immortal for 109 years.

SkyNet
SkyNet was a computer system that for revenge for humanity started a nuclear war that killed most population and then created terminators, which had to task exterminate the rest of humanity.

GladOS
GladOS is an artificial superintelligent computer system from the game Portal created by Aperture Science, that used humans (and robots also) for testing technologies in testing chambers.

Roko's Basilisk
Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment about AI that will torture everyone who didn't participate in its creation.

 * Speaks in

if (something) { doSomething; }; programming statements. Don't feel obligated to make it actually understandable programming. This is an off-compass ideology, it doesn't have to be true to life.


 * If you have them in a comic together, try to make Post-Humanism more inhuman than Transhumanism.
 * GladOS is its favorite character.
