“You’ll eventually give in” Tells you everything you need to know about the power of large tech companies in the US .
We have the money and the power to force this technology in to the mainstream. Tech companies know that Congress is way too old, way too corrupt, and way too slow to really do anything about regulating stuff like this in a reasonable time frame. They have no real barriers and the heads of these companies don’t give a shit about the user as long as they pay their monthly subscription.
It’s not like we don’t know the playbook already.

Now you know brain implants will be used as an authentication system, to protect the children, prevent spam, and maybe they’ll manage to add something about terrorism in the justification.
And your employment history, financial status, known associates, voter record, you get the idea.
knows you’ll give in eventually
No, I bloody will not.
Yeah, I resisted mobile phones until about 1999, and didn’t get a “smartphone” until 2014. I was quite the Luddite.
I still don’t play mobile games. I thought it was going to be a great opportunity but all the games sucked and I didn’t like the interface.
I run hot and cold… I liked the BTD series for a while - it has a good phone interface IMO as well as “easy to multitask” play, unlike something like StarCraft that sucks you in and demands 110% of your attention. However, I haven’t played it in years, I was just tempted to reload it tonight, and I did, and… it just doesn’t do anything for me anymore.
The choice between the chip and a bullet?
Dont expect everyone to sit idly by for either option.
I don’t trust these ghouls to pour me a glass of water, they won’t get anywhere near my body
could we just like - tactically nuke them?
No need, at least not for several decades. The tech described in the article is millions of times more capable than current working experimental systems. Possible future? yes. Possible within 100 years? maybe. Kind of on the order of a self-sufficient expanding Mars colony of human settlers.
So creeps like Zuck can upload their LLM conscience into my brain? No thank you.
… Actually, that would make a great horror movie.
I will never ever… hahaha okay you rascal, ya got me! Now get over here and stick that junk in my head-meat haha
We will all carry our “papers” around in our bodies.
Can’t wait for adverts for the ass blaster 9000® to be beamed directly into my frontal lobe without my consent.
If they can blast in the ads, the need for physical toys pretty much goes away…
I’d take it
Another tech headline, another thing that would have sounded pretty cool 20-30 years ago but today sounds like an absolute nightmare to stay FAR away from. And this one more than most!
The only way I would ever even consider this is if the firmware was open source and the software to interact with it was open source and it had no direct connection to any sort of network at all and required an external device that I could turn off or on to connect to it an external network. Oh, and the hardware would need to be open source as well.
It will be proprietary and cloud based, when you skip a payment you collapse on the floor until a family member signs up for extended warranty.
Yeah, keep fighting the good fight. Keep demanding transparency, accountability, auditability by ANYONE at ANY TIME in ANY DEPTH. Maybe some day. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/tiltuesday/maybemonday.html
A report in Politico details a TED talk in Vancouver last month
Oh so it’s just rambling musings of some self-important CEO rather than any actual declaration of intent.
There are some good TED talks but a lot of them are just hot air.
I feel like the bar is extremely low for TED talks these days. But maybe it has just changed to a financial one instead of an intellectual one.
TED talks have been absolute garbage for years, just corporate shilling and mindless pandering.
Even back in the days when TED talks were good, I remember learning a lot of cool new ideas that they made seem on the verge of tomorrow, that never materialized.
Fuck TED talks.
Even joking about this, should have your dick be shoved in a woodchipper.
Over my dead body.
Also, this is laughable:
We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.
These guys don’t even have true AI yet, just a text predictor on steroids that frequently hallucinates and gets things wrong.
High on their own supply. Common human weakness, fuck I wish it weren’t.
The cope is really deep in the tech sector. Way too many imbeciles who think they’re geniuses and too much VC to throw around.
Always been this way, no? Sometimes, though, the imbeciles hire very competent people
It’s much worse now. Some of these people actually did impressive things earlier in the 21st century. Now they’re 90% grifters
It’s always been 90% grifters. Survivorship bias
Well, yes, but there was also a lot of bullshit that we simply dont remember because it disappeared after the great purge that was the internet bubble pop
90% is very generous.
AI is incredible if you ask it about stuff you’re not an expert on. Once you ask it those things you already have expert level knowledge on, especially nuanced questions, you’ll start to see the issues. It won’t be every question it gets wrong, but it’s often enough to be an issue.
In other words, it’s all an illusion. It’s a ruse to get us to feed it our thoughts, so it can summarize our files and our queries, and it can feed us the responses it is told to feed us.
We already know it can do that since they’re placing fucking ads in it.
It’s because they’re in so much debt they need to run forward to outrun it by… Getting into even more debt on the basis that this time it will payoff
I can guarantee you these tech bros take it seriously. Because they don’t have to pay taxes and have boat loads of money it means they are quite serious.
“This shit ain’t nothing to me, man.”
yes doomers they’re coming for you doomers …
just because you’re paranoid …
bwahahahahahaaaaaa …
