Wait this is real? That thing is fucking massive and it goes so deep into your brain. Is this an elaborate LARP?

>>12676269
Oh it's real, and it's in me rn

they shave your skull down so it lays flush with your scalp/old skull profile. electrodes go from the chip to the back of my temporal lobes, only the electrodes are touching brain matter everything else is sitting outside the skull.

I want to become Adam Smasher, I opened a thread about it a couple of months ago.

>>12676283
Thats kinda nuts
>>12676297
oh ok yeah that makes more sense

>>12676298
eventually i'd like no physical form at all...

>>12676162
If I pull that off will you die?

>>12676314
It would be painful but yes it can be removed, without death.

When are you techfags going to stop masturbating over technology?

>It is an index of the techies' self-deception that they habitually assume that anything they consider desirable will actually be done when it becomes technically feasible. Of course, there are lots of wonderful things that already are and for a long time have been technically feasible, but don't get done. Intelligent people have said again and again: "How easily men could make things much better than they are-if they only all tried together!" But people never do "all try together," because the principle of natural selection guarantees that self-prop systems will act mainly for their own survival and propagation in competition with other self-prop systems, and will not sacrifice competitive advantages for the achievement of philanthropic goals.

>>12676330
boring ass nigga

>>12676162
>But when all people have become useless, self-prop systems will find no advantage in taking care of anyone. The techies themselves insist that machines will soon surpass humans in intelligence. When that happens, people will be superfluous and natural selection will favor systems that eliminate them-if not abruptly, then in a series of stages so that the risk of rebellion will be minimized.

>>12676312
Just die then. It seems you want to be immortal but at the same time you don't want to exist. These things could not be more contradictory

>>12676343
>>12676351
Jesus shut the fuck up you boring asshole

>>12676162
>The techies of course will argue that even if the human body and brain as we know them become obsolete, immortality in the form (ii) can still be achieved: Man-machine hybrids will permanently retain their usefulness, because by linking themselves with ever-more-powerful machines human beings (or what is left of them) will be able to remain competitive with pure machines.

>But man-machine hybrids will retain a biological component derived from human beings only as long as the human-derived biological component remains useful. When purely artificial components become available that provide a better cost-versus-benefit balance than human-derived biological components do, the latter will be discarded and the man-machine hybrids will lose their human aspect to become wholly artificial. Even if the human-derived biological components are retained they will be purged, step by step, of the human qualities that detract from their usefulness. The self-prop systems to which the man-machine hybrids belong will have no need for such human weaknesses as love, compassion, ethical feelings, esthetic appreciation, or desire for freedom. Human emotions in general will get in the way of the self-prop systems' utilization of the man-machine hybrids, so if the latter are to remain competitive they will have to be altered to remove their human emotions and replace these with other motivating forces. In short, even in the unlikely event that some biological remnants of the human race are preserved in the form of man-machine hybrids, these will be transformed into something totally alien to human beings as we know them today.

>>12676357
Not an argument

>Some techies may consider this acceptable. But their dream of immortality is illusory nonetheless. Competition for survival among entities derived from human beings (whether man-machine hybrids, purely artificial entities evolved from such hybrids, or human minds uploaded into machines), as well as competition between human-derived entities and those machines or other entities that are not derived from human beings, will lead to the elimination of all but some minute percentage of all the entities involved. This has nothing to do with any specific traits of human beings or of their machines; it is a general principle of evolution through natural selection. Look at biological evolution: Of all the species that have ever existed on Earth, only some tiny percentage have direct descendants that are still alive today. On the basis of this principle alone, and even discounting everything else we've said in this chapter, the chances that any given techie will survive indefinitely are minute.

>I want to become silicone
you probably only think that because you have a debilitating condition. If you were living in a healthy body you would not want to be turned into a frankenstein montrosity.

>Anybody on this board down with the chips? Or at least understand how far out we are from sending texts with our thoughts, and other delusion that are out there concerning neural stimulation?
I don't think this technology will be ever democratized. It is too easy to disable these devices and cause serious injuries.

What you have a is medical device made to help you cope with your medical condition. People like me make them for people who are sick. Implanting suh a device on someone who does not need it is unethical at best.

Between you and I, I would rather die than get one of the implant that I make.

>>12676162
I love you anon. Make us proud.

Moravec Transfer would be the only method to preserve the self. To become a digital via this method would require the ability to create artifical digital neurons and connect that exo-cortex with the main cortex and let it grow in brain possibility. Furthermore we would need a far better understanding of brain architecture to accomplish such thing.

If you would be honest in your believes you wouldn't be here.

Silicon life is just as shitty as carbon life. You'll beg for the power to be cut millions of times quicker than we could ever consciously do the same. Godspeed, anon.
