- codr7 3y agoHow can you be so sure? Maybe not today, but with better sensors and neural networks I'd say anything is possible. That's not what's bothering me most in the long run though. Because there's no way in hell they'll be able to resist the temptation to manipulate our brains directly if they ever develop the capability. Technology is neither good nor bad, but it enables better and worse with every iteration.
- mepian 3y ago>How can you be so sure? I studied biomedical engineering, it's really difficult to get anything useful out of a human brain non-invasively even if you are Apple. Neural networks are not magic, they can't do much with such low SNR.
- codr7 3y agoYes, I understand; but no one would have expected GPT4 10 years ago, technological evolution is exponential, not linear.
- dragonwriter 3y agoLLMs are more an exanoke of punctuated that smooth, even exponential, when looked at vs. 10 years ago, but there’s a difference between no one would expect b/c we don’t know how, and there being a clear articulable reason why not.
