That's increadibly cynical, but if cybernetics ever become a thing, I think it's painfully obvious what will happen.
Humanity is going to learn some very hard lessons if that class of technologies ever pans out.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI wish I could attribute it to just my cynicism. I'm not saying they will succeed, but I have no doubts they'll try very hard, like they do now with every single piece of technology. There are millions of marketers and executives whose only job is trying to figure out how to squeeze money out of something, burning any value in the process if necessary. I've worked with the types, they have a particular way of thinking that makes you blind to the fact you're fucking your customers - or the society - over. A kind of reverse reality distortion bubble, in which you believe the victims of your ideas are actually happy about them.
