There surely are. The problem is that they are failing. While the practical nerds are coming up with some pretty good ideas.

And this was what philosophy was supposed to be for! Like, they've been arguing on their pins for centuries about the essence of consciousness and the uniqueness of the human condition and whatnot. AND HERE WE ARE AT THE DAWN OF NON-HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND THEY HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO SAY.

Basically at what point do we just pack it in and admit we all fucked up?
