Disclaimer that I don’t think any of this affects actual practice, but with all the AI news and seemingly inevitable advancements how do you think this meshes with Buddhist cosmology?

Assuming the best case scenario in 50-60 years (humans make an ASI, we solve a lot of medical questions, physics questions, etc. Humans start to live more like “devas” than humans) isn’t so far fetched anymore.

As a result, the dharma ending age, beings classified into realms, and a lot more starts to seem much less literal with us living exceptionally long, healthy lives with societal focus on the arts and personal contentment. Potentially many augmentations would make our moment-to-moment experience in the future incomprehensibly different than today.

Would love any thoughts on this!
