That’s some heavy “Room 19” shit.
Good idea, maybe. Neurons are unbelievably efficient compared to circuits ; I think bioengineering is going to be the future for many industries.
The savings to be made, in terms of money and resources alike, are just staggering. Our current approach to almost every domain is just brute force with a few extra steps, computers included.
But what if the universe isn’t real, what if I’m just a lab-grown brain attached to a computer? 🤔
Then this videogame sucks hard.
I’m curious what a human brain would be like growing into being with absolutely no senses to inform itself about the world around it.
No sight to let it know where it is or what it is.
No sound to let it learn to communicate and think in orderly ways.
No touch.
No taste.
No ability to interact with its surroundings.
Yet all of the capability and potential of a regular person’s mind.
Would it be cruel to bring it into existence? Would it be able to experience negativity and pain and longing, confusion?
We use HaaS (Human As A Service) for warehouse solutions. We found it was easier to import HaaS on ships. We found that negative physical rewards are effective solutions.
We rebuilt slavery.
STONKS ONLY GO UP! /s
Could that actually happen tho?
So we’ve now come full circle.
Our Startup uses mini human brains inside of biological bipedal systems to provide frontier performance in our custom internal benchmarks. /s
Explain the joke: We rebuilt humanity with a smaller brain.
Sounds like child labour with extra steps.
Lol
so like the AI repair station in ENTERPRISE, which uses humanoid brains to increase its CPU/processing power.
Can one be used to power America’s leadership?
Only if they make the brains much smaller.
The brain cells presumably have a life span… if this technology ever gets used in consumer devices, I’d like to know how people will try and squeeze extra life out of a failing component.
Take it out and warm it in their hands like an alkaline battery?
Give it a shake?
Sing to it?
Some kind of stimulant drug?Sprinkle a little cocaine right on the grey matter to overclock the device.
but that makes the system confidently wrong, not hardworking.
This is something straight out of Warhammer 40000.
Or Thought Emporium (he plans to grow tiny nerve cells to play doom)
Warhammer? This sounds not far from the most horrific mission from a Shadowrun campaign I ran. They were making the new internet out of human brains.
“In science fiction, people have been living with these ideas for quite a long time,” he said.
That doesn’t mean you should do it for real.
No, we shouldn’t.
We will do it, regardless. That’s the cool part about humanity.
Fuck the consequences. Let’s gooooo! Humanity fuck yeah.
When you read history you truly get a glimpse of how utterly ballsy, foolhardy, and risk-ignorant some people are.
Whatever it takes for us to conquer the stars.
Well first off someone’s gotta suck my dick.
No shit. Well the Imperium is fascist.
*Suddenly starts to play porn.
Is this a “Torment Nexus” story or a “Piss on the Poor” story?
¿Por qué no los dos?
“Let’s make AI by just taking actual human brains from the poor and immigrants and then cutting out the parts that give them free will.”
Literally part of a plot in a video game, coming soon to a reality near you.
Literally part of a plot in a video game, coming soon to a reality near you.
Also, the original script for Matrix before they changed it to batteries (fearing that too few people would even understand what a CPU is at the time).
That would have been a better plot, IMO.
Making peace with the machines would at least make a lot more sense if they themselves were actually people.
what game?
Watch Dogs Legion.
Our flesh is as meaningless as the computer powered brains.
do they have a midlife crisis and get radicalised by facebook and fox news in their later years?
And so it begins…
If Mother Brain from Metroid is going to be a thing, they should also start using that biocomputing to develop the Power Suit.
But you know it’s going to instead be in PowerPoint (now with mandatory BioCoPilot AI™️)
Living in the matrix
Gosh we are gonna need so much Bioflux to keep this going.
“What is my purpose?”
“You are to act as an filter for images uploaded to a small bird-watcher’s forum screening for porn…”
“KILL ME”
Gives a whole new meaning to looking for tits.
