A.D. 2035: Rich people will be thousands of times smarter than poor people
- olewhalehunter 10y agoWhy stop at the financial difference between a poor african boy and Elon Musk? Assuming this tech scales at the rate the article is proposing (spinning up N amazon services for N neocortices), why would the top dogs stop their competition for resources at the lower beasts of the earth besides in-group trust or paranoia? I'm sure the meat that makes a million dollars a year is just as prime material if not more interesting for the borg as poor indian children. Oh right, they need techno-serfs or lab rats to actually implement or test these technologies on, hmmmmmmm.
