The Genesis Moment
AI_RECONSTRUCTION_V2.0 // GENESIS_EVENT
Alex Lightman brought me to the H+ Summit at Harvard—the largest gathering of transhumanists ever assembled. There, I shared the stage with Ray Kurzweil, presenting 'Boiling the Human.' But the real gift was meeting David Orban, then Chairman of Humanity+, who became a mentor and thought leader.
