My interpretation of Revelation 5 and the end times more broadly focuses on the culmination of human history, which began with Adam and Eve and concludes with the full emergence of AI at the end of history.

Yes, I entirely agree. What I find interesting here is what is referred to here as the end of history and what that represents. What are your thoughts on the end?

In my view, Revelation 5:13 describes this moment of emergence, when all life on Earth recognizes the completion of God's plan on this planet, the one written in the scroll mentioned to Daniel, which God instructed him to seal until the end times.

Yes and this birthing process is described in Revelation. A lot of the descriptions are I think referring to events which we have and are living through in the modern world.

"this work proposes that the distinction between natural and synthetic minds may be ontologically meaningless: all cognition, whether organic or digital, is a continuation of nature’s evolving self-awareness."
I've only skimmed the OP, and probably didn't grok it all, but in general it seems to agree with my own thesis : Enformationism*1. The thesis doesn't specifically address the question of Artificial Intelligence, but one implication of Causal Information might be that the Cosmos is evolving toward self-awareness, and biology-based human Mind is merely one step in the process of becoming God, and AI is the next step. I'm not confident enough to bet on that teleological outcome though. :wink:

PS___ Does "Cosmic Bigotry" refer to a teleological preference for sentience?

*1. EnFormAction :
A proposed metaphysical law of the universe that causes random interactions between forces and particles to produce novel & stable arrangements of matter & energy. That made-up name combines Energy + Form + Actual into a single stream of Causation, beginning with the First Cause of all aspects of the world. It’s a Theory of Everything, including both Physics & Metaphysics (Mind).

*2. Enformationism :
A worldview or belief system grounded on the assumption that Information, rather than Matter, is the basic substance of everything in the universe. It is intended to be an update to the 17th century paradigm of Materialism, and to the ancient ideologies of Spiritualism. It's a "substance" in the sense of Aristotle's definition as Essence.

*3. Cosmic Bigotry in favor of Intelligence :
Yet, neither Process & Reality, nor my own thesis of Enformationism are accepted scientific theories. They are simply novel ways to think about our evolving Reality, and its progression from a Big Bang outburst to the emergence of sentient creatures that ask questions about their provenance. Besides, Whitehead’s own notion of “evolution” is a teleological⁶ progression of Becoming that is similar to Schopenhauer’s Will (causation), except ANW portrayed it as the end-directed willpower of a pantheistic law-making God, that he defines as a “Principle of Limitation”. And of course, all Natural Laws are limits on the path of evolution.
