Yeah, look at NeuraLink and how successful that was at being a thing.
“This shit ain’t nothing to me, man.”
yes doomers they’re coming for you doomers …
just because you’re paranoid …
bwahahahahahaaaaaa …
Over my dead body.
Also, this is laughable:
We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.
These guys don’t even have true AI yet, just a text predictor on steroids that frequently hallucinates and gets things wrong.
The cope is really deep in the tech sector. Way too many imbeciles who think they’re geniuses and too much VC to throw around.
Always been this way, no? Sometimes, though, the imbeciles hire very competent people
It’s much worse now. Some of these people actually did impressive things earlier in the 21st century. Now they’re 90% grifters
Well, yes, but there was also a lot of bullshit that we simply dont remember because it disappeared after the great purge that was the internet bubble pop
90% is very generous.
It’s always been 90% grifters. Survivorship bias
AI is incredible if you ask it about stuff you’re not an expert on. Once you ask it those things you already have expert level knowledge on, especially nuanced questions, you’ll start to see the issues. It won’t be every question it gets wrong, but it’s often enough to be an issue.
In other words, it’s all an illusion. It’s a ruse to get us to feed it our thoughts, so it can summarize our files and our queries, and it can feed us the responses it is told to feed us.
We already know it can do that since they’re placing fucking ads in it.
It’s because they’re in so much debt they need to run forward to outrun it by… Getting into even more debt on the basis that this time it will payoff
I can guarantee you these tech bros take it seriously. Because they don’t have to pay taxes and have boat loads of money it means they are quite serious.
High on their own supply. Common human weakness, fuck I wish it weren’t.
AI CEO D. Scott Phoenix laid out a vision of a world in which the chipped enjoy so many advantages of the unchipped that you’ll be forced to comply.
I won’t even verify my age online. He can shove my advantageous chip right up his ass.
I’m glad I learned that excessive convenience is a bad thing before this became the norm.
forced to comply.
The language I’d expect from a villain in some fiction aimed at teenagers, not from a real person. This is so bizarre, and the amount of people ok with ceos saying those things is disturbing
I’m not ok with this. He is KoS unironically.
Doesn’t matter… we all know you’re a 47 year old used car salesman from Peoria.
LOL!
Sounds like someone who has never lived off the land. If anything like this happens you can guarantee there will be communes of people without this like the amish but not so weird.
A report in Politico details a TED talk in Vancouver last month
Oh so it’s just rambling musings of some self-important CEO rather than any actual declaration of intent.
There are some good TED talks but a lot of them are just hot air.
I feel like the bar is extremely low for TED talks these days. But maybe it has just changed to a financial one instead of an intellectual one.
TED talks have been absolute garbage for years, just corporate shilling and mindless pandering.
Even back in the days when TED talks were good, I remember learning a lot of cool new ideas that they made seem on the verge of tomorrow, that never materialized.
Fuck TED talks.
Even joking about this, should have your dick be shoved in a woodchipper.
No, I don’t think I will
I won’t even get contact lenses, I ain’t letting them putting a chip in my brain.
The fuck I will. Unless they change the definition of ‘give in’ to ‘die’ then they don’t know shit. I don’t want them in my PHONE, let alone my FUCKING HEAD. I think about them too much as is.
‘Die’ when you are locked out of society because everything will need brainchips as a key, and you starve if you can’t afford brainmoney transactions
and you starve
That’s why “eat the rich” is a thing.
Ok, fight to the death it is. Nothing left to live for anyway, they made every aspect of my life hell.
I literay don’t care about winning, only revenge.
There can be more than one “society.”
No argument here
Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!
The smart glasses are selling really well tho. Creeps and people wanting to record everything I guess
Not if we 1- Forcefully remove 2- Smash to bits every smart glass we see.
But imagine being able to use shaders to change your perception. Like “I’m going with the Virtual Boy this morning!”
But 3D TV’s were actually good.
The only way I would ever even consider this is if the firmware was open source and the software to interact with it was open source and it had no direct connection to any sort of network at all and required an external device that I could turn off or on to connect to it an external network. Oh, and the hardware would need to be open source as well.
It will be proprietary and cloud based, when you skip a payment you collapse on the floor until a family member signs up for extended warranty.
Another tech headline, another thing that would have sounded pretty cool 20-30 years ago but today sounds like an absolute nightmare to stay FAR away from. And this one more than most!
We could be granting everyone in the world a high standard of living but instead we’re going to charge them to self-induce early onset neurodegenerative disease.
knows you’ll give in eventually
No, I bloody will not.
Yeah, I resisted mobile phones until about 1999, and didn’t get a “smartphone” until 2014. I was quite the Luddite.
I still don’t play mobile games. I thought it was going to be a great opportunity but all the games sucked and I didn’t like the interface.
I run hot and cold… I liked the BTD series for a while - it has a good phone interface IMO as well as “easy to multitask” play, unlike something like StarCraft that sucks you in and demands 110% of your attention. However, I haven’t played it in years, I was just tempted to reload it tonight, and I did, and… it just doesn’t do anything for me anymore.
The incredible, sci-fi point-&-click adventure game Technobabylon is about people who chose to install such “wetware” into their brains and people, like the protagonist, who refused it. It’s good stuff.
Isn’t it also a major plot point in Cyberpunk 2077? Like, the plot point?
No? The protagonist definitely does not avoid installing chips in their body
Shhhh, I still have yet to play it…
You must rectify that, IMMEDIATELY. It is one of THE most excellent games I ever ever played. BELIEVE ME, I know a good game when I play one.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Nah, but seriously it’s an excellent game that’s worthy of your time. Go play it!
I know… but my real-life backlog of tasks, not even counting my games backlog, is so massive… I’ll try to find some kind of balance… Maybe in the winter when I can use that one hyper-realism mod and warm up my bedroom from the cold weather LOL!
I was going to play it and then it had all of these performance issues and bugs so I never bought it, and then by the time they fixed it, I’d lost interest. I am in exactly the same position with No Man’s Sky, I know that it’s much better now but I’ve also kind of moved on from it.
No man’s sky is an ocean wide and a puddle deep. It’s a lot better than before, but the core gameplay couldn’t impress me then, and it still can’t now.
Cyberpunk is … An experience. I played it day one, was bummed about the state of things and dropped it for years. I came back with 2.0, and it is like a different game. It’s stable, looks great, has so much atmosphere that you can nearly taste it and plays smoothly.
And if you liked modding Skyrim, this thing is a great buy. If it’s on sale, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed, I promise.
If by “for a while” you mean “until I’m dead” . . then yea, sure. Any other definition . . no chance in hell.
