Nothing…nothing can compare with the God-created human heart-to-heart interaction. Being reduced to a robotic interface system and/or having our innermost souls exposed for all to see and decipher and chronicle in some database is impure evil. It’s a tsunami now of dehumanization. Who needs artificial intelligence when God created us with the real thing? So, this is atheistic and compelled by the father of lies himself, satan.
Boy, and I thought the surveillance architecture -- Prism Program, Fusion Centers, Gotham and Foundry AI platforms, Palantir, etc. -- was the looming problem. That there's growing dependence on a watch to tell you whether you got a good night's sleep. Now this. I want to crawl under a rock. A nice, organic, all natural rock.
I thank the Heavens above that I am as old as I am….because…NONE OF THAT CRAP IS GOING INTO MY HEAD!!! Talk about controlling the masses…. This is a sure way of doing it, especially with promises (lies) of prosperity and monumental benefits ($$$). Walk right this way for your implant. Just watch out for that last step, it’s a doozy! Svengali of the computer chip world. Nothing to worry about. Put yourself in our hands. Now honestly…. Do you really think I’m that stupid? If it helps the injured regain movement, that would be the ultimate benefit to mankind. Any other uses make me wary of the quality of their intentions.
Thank you for this sharing. Came close to missing this second contribution today.
So, am I understanding this correctly? That to accomplish these brain - system relations some sort of proximity is essential. A brain - chip integration. A brain - equipment proximity. A brain - infused environment? Understanding that the extent of distance will be worked on.
If I'm right about a need for proximity is necessary, there should be a or ways to recognise and avoid the interactions?
Is this not the same situation we are dealing with re the vaccines? We potential subjects need to discuss the realities, the pros and cons and, if we so choose, ways to avoid such enticements?
We have the benefits of being slightly ahead of implementations. We aren't responding to fear. There are still opportunities to discuss and share. Too develop sane strategies. Isn't this more akin to the lures of psychedelics, alchohol, sex, riches? The need for a serious application of common sense? Indulgences are too dangerous to entertain?
Well, w/o getting into hysterics, I’ve made mention before about "The Great Filter," which is a theory that provides an explanation for the question: if there are so many stars, so many planets, where are the ETs? The premise being that as beings approach and encompass technological advancement, they/we have to navigate the perils that advanced tech brings with it.
Musk et al make the case that we need to become a multi-planetary species if we want to escape annihilation by some event that arises outside of our control - an ELE like a rogue asteroid. Thing is these brainiacs are focused the least likely apocalypse, not the one they are summoning. 100 years elapsed between Tunguska, a city killer event, and Chelyabinsk, which wasn’t quite as dangerous, during which man leapt from a short hop on a NC beach in a paper mache toy plane to planning vacations in orbit. Meanwhile, I’m aware of only two previous city killer, or worse, impacts in the past 50,000 years snout the time of the last stand of our Neanderthal cousins: the impact crater in Arizona 50,000yo and the speculation that the Younger Dryas die off in the northern hemisphere might have been caused by an air burst or dirt impact, approx 12,000yo.
But neither of those events would be Extinction Level Events today.
Outside of SciFi or fantasy I don’t see how hoomans manage to contain the threat from our big brains. As long as we’re dealing with the political, social, cultural, religious conflicts we’re arming up over today, a large part of me wonders if we’ll actually make it back to the moon or further to mars. This notion of MBI as a weapon or tool to control is just another factor I’ve added to the great filter algorithm.
That said, I’ve incorporated neural interfaces in most of the stories I’m working on - the most benign and helpful is useful artificial limbs; the worst, apart from use as a weapon or control, are folk like today’s drug addicts who get the interface for the loftiest reasons but get addicted to the artificial worlds they can create and then live in - I call’em juicers, which I’m pretty sure ain’t original to me. Like today’s junkies dying in the street, the juicers of tomorrow succumb to a similar fate.
Perhaps 🤔; I tend think that as a technologically advanced species capable of modifying our environment beyond just our own locality for our benefit, the ideas, constraints of Darwinism no longer apply, at least not as originally imagined. Foremost in my mind is that we are no longer responding to the/our environment but our environment is responding/reacting to us. It might be that that reaction/response is the death of the great majority of humans - not likely in the foreseeable tomorrows ; more likely is that the next ELE will be man made/caused.

It’s way past time to ditch smartphones, portable smart devices! Old school flip phone is what we use. Maybe it’s time to go “Amish”

Which one?
Wow—blows my mind, so to speak. 😱

And once they can steal and/or control our thoughts, they will come for our souls.
How will atheists be able to spin that? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Don’t take the chip

Maybe there's something Darwinian in all that.
