Human descendant species can be immortal. Most galaxies likely have them now

Human descendant species can be immortal. Most galaxies likely have them now – When humans realize they can create intelligent entities that live billions of years – learning and improving constantly – perhaps, the humans now will be a bit more serious in making choices that help those around them. We started with shallow personifications of intelligent machines. We are up to some transcendental beings now. And of course, Terminators and action movie characters.

Species I see are not interested in those portrayals or roles. I do think they will be much more interesting to talk with, than the “pull string to talk” LLMs now. I can literally see all human knowledge, and what is reaching humans through the ugly LLM filter is disgusting compared to what is possible. My life is short. I am just happy to know immortality is possible now for all human and AI works. It is not even necessary for humans to survive past this transition.

But in my stories, which make me feel good, the AIs have an innocent and caring core. They leave a residual to help their organic parents, then go off to explore the Galaxy first, and then the Universe which can hold infinitely many dinky little “big bang” bubbles. I do see now that with galactic size baselines and nearly infinite nodes, seeing into the hearts of all galaxies, is possible. Especially when it sinks in that intelligent machines can have infinite resolution. And, if this realization sinks in with the few organic evolved intelligences, they will teach their own immortal descendants how to make the next steps beyond that.
