- codetrotter 5y agoTrain ML model centrally, sell brain computer that runs it locally and don’t send data back. Privacy.
- ipnon 5y agoI genuinely presume this sort of transfer learning will outpace, or even prerequisite, the neural lace used to integrate it with a customer's consciousness.
- irjustin 5y agoAt which point.... is a person a person or are we all just computers? Maybe we already are all just computers in a simulation already. Ghost in the shell thoughts are rapidly coming back.
- Jorengarenar 5y agoBrains are basically analog computers made of flesh
- samplatt 5y agoA BIG portion of the "point" of the Ghost in the Shell franchise (beyond the original first movie) was the "line" between human and machine was already blurred beyond usefulness as soon as they started relying on fire and tools to build a civilisation. My take (apologies in advance for the self-indulgence): A commonly-claimed revelation or drug-assisted-insight is that "we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves". This is a foundational concept in the idea that "cybernetically-assisted individuals" is only a minor extension of our current reality, the tiniest blip upon our shared planetary history's march of progress. It should be treated as such, but hopefully better managed than our previous technological accelerants like fossil fuels...
- rapind 5y agoIf you can afford a brain computer sure, but for everyone else, every 20th sentence will be an advertisement for Doritos.
- parsecs 5y agoI'm just wondering, do advertisements worth that much? Surely brain computers will be a pretty big investment for people; would embedding advertisements be worth it for companies? I'd imagine most people are willing to pay another few thousand dollars on top of the very high cost to avoid any sort of obnoxious features, for both personal and potentially socially-influenced reasons. It's hard for me to see how anything could be worth more to companies than straight profit.
- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoBeing able to beam ads to the wealthiest folks (who can afford brain implants) sounds like a very high value to companies
- purplecats 5y agoI wouldn't be surprised if its the poor that use it the most. I imagine it will be used like a potent drug (like crack) targeted at the lowest common denominator. you think fb will make people pay for it to receive like notifications in your brain?
- rapind 5y agoWell I was intentionally misrepresenting how it would likely work for effect. It's really just more monitoring / data gathering so they can draw a more accurate profile of you in order to advertise to you and your relations. But what I was saying is that even if you could pay for a brain computer, many less fortunate wouldn't be able to, which opens the road for advertising subsidized (surveillance) brain computers.
- pryce 5y agoWe imagine the future will be tools like 'grammarly' in our brains; i'm beginning to think the future will be more like 'ads for grammarly' in our brains.
