They can mine bitcoins instead
Just donate your brain to run neural networks on, and we’ll pay for your kid’s K-12 (all school is now privatized). We promise we won’t totally waste the processing power on implementations that are worse than their non AI predecessors.
This is where I’m concerned Neuralink will end up.
not neuralink. that effort was never gonna be for mass market
But if you could form GPUs to brains of the impoverished for massive increase in performance on the dollar it might go that way.
Imagine in 20 years people “work from home” by sitting in a chair at home and jack in matrix style then going comatose for hours on end.
I’m just saying the neuralink was never ready for primetime, and will not be for decades. The lie of workers just being able to jack into the matrix was marketing hype that fundamentally ignored the unacceptable risks of brain surgery at large scales. It was what fully clued me into just how stupid Musk was when he started going off about it things that wouldn’t happen anytime soon.
Cybernetic implants are unlikely to become mass market within the next half century, as the risk and cost are too high, while the technology is just not there. Don’t buy Elongate’s bullshit hype, that shit is sci-fi nonsense. It will not see uses outside of people with disabilities for decades, as the sensory implants do not have acceptable resolution to be preferable to a screen. Biology is hard to beat, and we might genuinely be able to remake biology before cybernetics surpasses them.
They will tweak it to run a simulation which will cause you to do work for them.
It’s ok, they’re already used to harsh working conditions and will be fastening tiny screws in no time!
Coal mining is awesome though, not sure why anyone would learn how to do coding instead
Perhaps you’re just blacking out any reasons you can think of?
Though I suppose looking at scars can be fascinating in a macabre sort of way…
