God Is Technology (2010)

Some context is probably necessary for this submission. This is a direct link to one chapter of a book-length (1905 pages!) suicide note titled "Suicide Note" by Mitchell Heisman, who committed suicide near Harvard University in 2010, ostensibly because he convinced himself that non-existence is morally equivalent to existence.

This chapter discusses the Singularity and in particular the idea that God is a technology that has evolved under selective pressures alongside human societies, and that we will eventually create an actual AI God as a continuation of this process.

I think that it's interesting as a standalone read and relevant for discussion on HN. I was surprised to find that it had never been discussed here before.

(standard disclaimer: don't kill yourself.)
