Abstract
Transhumanism is a philosophical worldview so driving that in some circles, it might almost be called a religion. Transhumanist belief holds that the rushing integration of humans and machines is inevitable and it moves to deeply alter the nature of human existence. Transhumanists believe that, properly harnessed, such integration can become a force of ultimate good. Reaching dominance in the technology sector, transhumanism's tenets and predictions have begun to drive the actions of multinational companies such as Google. If technology is left to take its current path, what are the plausible outcomes? How does the accelerating pace of technology stand to change the world's economy and the lives of average citizens? What risks (economic and ethical) are there to the fulfillment of transhumanist ideals by corporate powers, and how might they be mitigated? This dissertation makes no claim to a concrete solution, but raises the issues which are beginning to confront modern business and political leaders, and will only grow in the future. It implores such leaders to look further, and to make preparations to employ the advances to come to their best advantage, and to the best advantage of the world.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
