Matt Taibbi interviews Dr. Aaron Kheriaty:

“I think it’s an ersatz religion,” says Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, of a transhumanist movement that is suddenly very relevant, in the age of people falling in love with their AIs, making radical changes to their bodies, and letting AIs counsel them toward suicide. “I think it’s a religious substitute for people living in a secular age.”
