I can easily think of 150 years of things to do simply as a brain in a vat.
Sure there are sensory inputs I'd miss. But as long as IO in the form of text and/or audio is working, with or without augmentation, I'm confident it would be worth a try. Vision would be a nice to have.

- quesera 3y agoWell, I wouldn't choose it for fun. It would be as an alternative to death, and it would be a minimally-acceptable state. More would be better. I'd also cede things like property rights in exchange for long term care. People do this today! But a BIV's needs would be simpler than full body care. All I'd need would be physical protection, temperature control, food, and a network connection. :)
