Our Technological Future
With the advent of LLMs and AI we are beginning to see the true face of technology. What Heidegger foresaw decades ago, the total technological enframing of the planet, is becoming increasingly our everyday reality. Our world is becoming ever more uniform and technicised.
The essence of technology is Ge-Stell, the concentrated enframing of all beings — including nature, animals, and human beings — so that they stand ready for use at all times.
Transhumanism promises that we might not only be able to extend our physical capacities but even live forever. But to be trans-human means to be no longer human, and to become the plaything of technology, an extension of it.
Thus Heidegger foresees:
“An anarchy of catastrophes is upon us.”
