[@Andytlp]

@@ganondorf5573 Medicine defines death when the brain stops all electrical activity. I think you "soft" die every time you go to sleep and when u wake up it just picks up from the last save state, like a computer hibernation or sleep state. Keeps just enough juice running to keep time and run other processes. However if you get knocked out that part doesnt work, your breathing might stop and lets not talk about the rest. You dont even feel time passage. Coma can be different for each person. One feels like no time passed others recall everything thats said to them. Its much more unsettling to think about death being a daily part of our lives, instead of just rare instances where you get totally k.od or actually die.

Maybe after we've all been absorbed into the Matrix we won't really care or, after a while, even _know_ on an instinctual level what a fart smells like. Like, we might be aware that at some point in the past humans had these squishy, smelly bodies and that, yes, there was one particular orifice through which mostly solid waste products were excreted and which occasionally emitted odiferous gases, but will that really _mean_ anything to an entity that has transcended physicality? For that matter, what about any other emotion? What about the "butterflies in the stomach" of love, the solar plexus burning feeling of rage, or the "lump in the throat" of sadness? Of course these could be replicated in a purely virtual environment, but as we lose touch with our physical beings, what will it even _mean_ ? What is a "throat" or "heart" or "stomach" even _for_ in a hyperreal existence? I'm afraid that many could end up like those mice in that Rat Park experiment where they had opiates on demand by simply pushing a button. Maybe people could end up like those mice, just doing nothing except repeatedly pushing a pleasure button with all nuance, specifics, and setting/context long forgotten or even necessary. What is humor even when you can just press a "funny button" set at "maximum hilarity"? What is pleasure even in a purely virtual world? How do you code a simulation of an endorphin release in a living brain that doesn't even exist anymore? Perhaps we will still need a hunk of biomatter to interact with to even feel _anything_ ? We'll be hyper-advanced beings all hooked up to a quivering hunk of brain that is in the throws of ecstasy. I don't know, man. I'm excited for, as Jonas Buyle said above, "a brave new world", too, but I'm curious and cautious to see how things will develop as time goes on.

Essentially, if we allow future kids to become USB flash drives, that's all they're gonna be - USB sticks without a processor. As far as we know right now, studying actually improves your inteligence and reasoning. I wonder if that would be affected if we were to remove the process of studying.

​@@purpleduck3494 There is no such thing as God or Satan. Nothing the Bible said ever came true nor it will ever be. Predictable stuff like locust swarms, diseases, etc., were sure prevalent in the past and easy to predict so, people thought that it happened because it was written in the Bible or other religious books. Now we know that there is credible Science behind it and the reasons can be traced back to its roots. Do you remember 'The Great Disappointment' where the Church and the Christians believed that the World was going to end and it never happened? Little did they know that that was a complex and idiotic prediction with no evidence, not like your yearly diseases and pest problems. People were stunned to find out that nothing came true since it was obvious of course but, they were blinded by faith on fictional stuff. Sadly, people still believe in these idiotic statements and claims written by Bronze age idiots who didn't know that the Earth revolved around the Sun and feared the Eclipse. I urge you to stop spreading misinformation and being a misinformed individual yourself especially thinking that vaccines are bad. That's idiocy on a dangerous level. Did you know that Telephone was said to be the Devil's line and the Internet as Devil's work? But, here you are. It's always a problem before for religious folks until they try it themselves and realizes their stupidity. I claim that the average temperature of the Earth will increase by 2 degrees and sea levels will rise. This prediction will come true obviously because of scientific evidence but, if I said that a century or two ago let alone 1000s of years ago I would have been either a prophet or a headless individual due to the courtesy of an ignorant and stupid belief system called 'Religion' Thankfully, religion is declining year by year at a rapid rate and hardcore believers like you are becoming extinct.

If a real (self-improving) AI is possible (probably) and if human civilization does not wipe itself out (hopefully) then this AI is probably inevitable. I don't think this AI will be turning "evil" and kill humans like (asshole) humans kill ants like many believe, but even if this AI really values human live, as the years go by and the AI leaves us further and further behind in its intelligence, humans might be devolve into nothing more than glorified zoo animals, although maybe living in luxury with any needs met. A unaltered human might need a lifetime to learn what the AI learns in a year or so, so why even bother? We would need to somehow extend out own cognitive capabilities to somehow be a part of this world that I would want to be. I would want to become a (semi-autonomous) part of the AI that succeeds human civilization and not some obsolete "pure" biological relic.

[@TheReykjavik]

This kind of technology is going to change a lot of things. Those changes can cause problems, and we need to be aware of that and deal with them appropriately. One thing I think we should definitely do is demand that smart devices be able to work without connecting to the internet. It is frustrating when I can't use my computer for 20 minutes because Windows needs to update. Not being able to use your wheelchair for 20 minutes (or longer if the update fails and corrupts the memory) is not acceptable. We need to start designing our systems to be redundant to disconnection, even long term disconnection. The same should apply to things like smart homes and other appliances too. There will be other problems we aren't thinking about right now, I don't think the possibility of those problems should stop us from moving forward, I just think it is important to be aware of the consequences of our technology and deal with it in the best way we can.

[@IgnorantC]

Waste of money really, at some point Internet will be free and available everywhere but for now majority of it functions just fine without a connection, same with Windows updates, you can simply disable them completely and not worry about it.

As a person with progressive cerebral degeneration and peripheral neuropathy the idea of neurolink excites me so much. Just being able to gain back even some of my motor control, speech fluency and balance would be such a game changer with being able to regain lost sensation in my legs (I feel nothing below the knees) and temperature sensation in my hands (not very safe and will progress to the loss of all sensation like me legs sooner rather than later). It could take me from my wheelchair back to assisted walking, maybe even unassisted walking, it could halt things that I’m only just starting to loose like my ability to swallow properly, so so much. It can’t give me back the brain that has already gone (best description I have been able to come up with it that my cerebellum is melting away) but with the ability to help mould new connections it could be re wired to if nothing else stop my progression. It’s all so exciting. Am I likely to see the fruits of neurolink’s labour in my (limited) life time, unlikely, I’m 42 now and won’t live to old age but my condition is genetic, my children don’t show signs but what’s to say what the future holds for them, for their children not to mention about all the other people suffering of there with similar conditions, mine is a rarity (if not even unique) among an already rare group of conditions but there are still thousands out there with conditions similar to me own and so many, many more with other brain effecting conditions, this tech could help millions of millions of people before you even get on to the things such a system could do to augment a healthy brain.

Jack me in. The sooner we get to full dive virtual reality then the happier we’ll all be. The real world is a drag.

Cyberpunk 2025 by Elon Musk. Take that, CD ProjektRed and your Cyberpunk 2077.

[@amberleephotography8310]

Cyberpunk 2077 is based on a tabletop game called Cyberpunk 2020. soooooo not to far off i guess?

I volunteer as a test subject. If this thing could collect data on brains with depression and figure out mitigations for that without medication... That would be immense.

In the meantime, for those that would like to go that route, we should make real the exit strategy that works so nicely as that depicted in "Soylent Green" (not what comes afterwards).

Look into lithium orotate. It really works! www.swansonvitamins.com/q?kw=lithium+orotate "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:19-20 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

I was a student aid to a man with cerebral palsy back in the 80's. Our entire day was filled with communicating, I used to liken it to playing a giant game of hangman. We used to talk and dream of this capability one day.... that would change his life. I am so excited for the ability this will have to help people!

So one day we'll be able to control many kinds of tech devices with our brains like being able to drive cars with our minds, being able to change the tv channels without having to touch the remote, being able to scroll online without having to use our finger to touch our computers. This is pretty cool.
