It does not end well.
No. Just ... no.
Can’t he just upload it to his followers’ brain? Cut out the middleman.
You mean Skynet?
This I am NOT thrilled about.
Larry Niven wrote some interesting sci-fi about “wire heads and wire-heading” centered around his character Louis Wu...
The wire head pretty much gives up everything else in life once it’s possible to directly stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain...
It does not end well.
We are the Borg
You will be assimilated
Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own
Your culture will adapt to service us
Resistance is futile.
Joe Biden will be the prototype.
Have him do the demonstration in the dark.
here's a picture of the prototype i obtained from a reliable source:
Total recall in the making.
Does this mean I could experience making love to the most beautiful woman in the world through a USB port to the brain?
Even if it’s unveiling goes like the unveiling of his pickup truck, it will be a great success.
Doubt it would interface well in an adult brain. The facts gap between the young and old will be immeasurable but what will be the effect on critical thinking. The ability to make decisions wisely with limited information will be diminished. Google or whomever replaces them will be able to curate the mass memory of the people. There are some massive pitfalls possible with this tech if raw data can just electronically pass into the brain and be assimilated bypassing the senses. Autodidacts would rule the world even more than they do today.
There are orders of magnitude bigger implications as compared to the industrial revolution effects on society as well on the good side. No more schools needed thus bypassing the indoctrination centers. Media would fold. Interpersonal communication would be much much faster. The speed of decision making would increase exponentially. Essentially life would shift into a higher gear.
Elon Musk has brought Science Fiction to science fact with many of his projects. Who could have expected a 7 second 1/4 mile electric car you can pick up the kids in after picking up groceries in our lifetimes.
It would behoove us to examine the pitfalls the great thinkers of SciFi have outlined when examining the possibility of a neural interface and to avoid the obvious punji traps.
