Will you pay for a machine like this?
- willpower101 15y agoFor the technology? Yes a thousand times over. But practically it's impossible for it to actually erase everything simply to learn one thing. Neuroscience has pretty well defined rules for how we learn and already shows that forced associations of neurons would not 'overwrite' or 'erase' previous associations. So again. An emphatic yes. Because it wouldn't work like the author proposes. Obviously if we are constrained to the authors premise then very few reasonable persons would agree to that. It's basically a fluff piece trying to tell people not to take the easy way out. And if one were constrained to those limits. Then they would simply download wikipedia like was done for watson. (even if it was only the major articles in size 10^-6 font.
