Nothing new here but another telling of the aftermath of discrediting of the bible. People still need to cling to a metaphysical comfort in the form of AI and a role they can play in it. I do believe (I have faith) that man's propensity for failure to acknowledge mortality lies in his dismissal of reality for the comforts of his imagination. In that padded room he can dream up all manner of treats awaiting his corporeal demise and (assumed) spiritual rise.
The cat in the blog isn't so much consumed by some flowery eventuality awaiting him as he is preoccupied with a god-like source of existence. He can't fathom existence otherwise and I do understand it's a lot to fathom. But, to simply dismiss it as inexplicably there until a rational answer is in hand is the way of atheism as opposed to conjuring up grand ideas to placate the currently vacuous mind of man due to its innate impatience to know all or otherwise fake it.
