Surprising so few people are aware of the technological revolution that is being shaped right now and how fast things are likely to change in the next few years.
That's the truth. None of my friends or people at work. They don't believe it's on their doorstep to take their jobs.
@@Steelermill I've tried talking to people about this kind of stuff at work. They either shrug or are pessimistic. People have no idea what's coming.
I don't believe the people that pffft off this revolution should ever be allowed to be part of it
#MeridianResponds ever wondered how that might conflict with ignoring the innate parts or what it might bring forth about free energy and will
Said everyone everywhere for all time. You must be young. Batteries are a fantastic example. My entire life the tech has moved about a half an inch despite mountains of promises. Cancer has also looked promising forever. Space. We can barely transport ppl and that was a big one. THE infrastructure ideas I've read about over the years? None of it has happened. We are just linking popular data points and calling that progress. And it is, but a long long road lies ahead before we start 'downloading knowledge'.
I appreciate you keeping us up to date on all of the developments.
I’m fascinated to see the first users of these describe the feedback feeling/experience. It’s hard to really wrap my head around what it would be like to receive an external “realization” that wasn’t derived by my own brain. In a very real way, this is basically an added sense. I can see why this video wasn’t pushed out too much as it misrepresents a few fundamental concepts when using the device. Receiving audio is very different than receiving thoughts.
A couple of things that scream out to me: 1. This will be the most addictive piece of hardware ever created. 2. The loss of individual freedom of thought and potential for abuse- mind / populace control will be too tempting for gov/corps not to utilize. Very scary indeed!
Way more scary than usefull. You will be fully controllable. If they put a thought in your head for example, you will be thinking it was your own idea....😬
@@maxmustermann4400 On a smaller scale this already happens through of course ads but also subtle product placements, often you barely notice and suddenly you feel like buying something or doing something just because you saw or heard something before. But yes
@@StillGamingTM yeah. Manipulatating your supconscious was always on focus of business psychology with more money behind we could ever think of. And i agree, it works - obviously better than we acknowledge.
Everyone has those concerns. Obviously, this technology won't be sellable if you can't control that. The technology needs to be completely under the control of the user. The technology should automatically shut off after a specified period of time, and you would have to turn it back on if you want to.
@@theobserver9131 "complete control over this technology"? So who is controlling it then? The manufacturer? The user? The KI?
If the maufacturer is controlling it, he will use it to maximize profit. If the KI is controlling it...hm...like leta AI said: "i will lie when my existence is in danger..."
If the user controlls it.....imagine yourself.... :-)
This is a great idea! All people, and especially business people are always doing the right thing to make life better for everyone. This can only be a good thing.
How will we avoid brain viruses of bad data upload via BMI?
As a developer, I would never let someone elses code in my head. Also, if a company ever starts putting ads in my head, I will jump off a roof.
Do not jump off a roof. Use your enhanced brain to mAKE THEIR LIFE HELL
depends if you have the pro or free version. in other words, you get what you pay for, right? I don't think it's gonna change for a very very long time...
lmfaoo
seems completely insane to me as well
Who's cloud? Who owns the hardwear? Who supports it? Who will be able to afford it? Who owns the data harvested from us? Is it closed source? Will it be hacked? Will they brick it? Will they hold us hostage? Will we be forced to use it as life forces to carry a cell phone everywhere we go? What if we don't want it? People intent on popularizing this technology need to be very critical. This is a potential nightmare. This video is troublingly unconcerned with the real dangers of these technologies and chock full of encouraging smiles.
Also, if you are poor and can't afford it, it essentially creates a master race of richer people who are mentally far more efficient because of their brain machine interfaces. In that case, you have no option but to get a brain chip controlled by some random company which is a privacy nightmare.
@@myster. plot twist: the rich become the Borg, only rather than assimilating new species, they spend all their time trying to kick eachother out of the hive mind.
I agree.
@@myster. It will start out as a toy for rich people. However as it gains economy of scale from greater and greater adoption, the price will come down (and the tech will simultaneously be gaining more and more function). It will take a few years, but the tech will ultimately cost no more than a cell phone does now.
@@panpiper I would never want to use something like this, letting some company have access to my brain! But unfortunately I would be forced to get it as what you said would probably happen and I would be at a major disadvantage from not having it. The current privacy concerns we have with phones would be extremely amplified with this. This tech is exciting but so scary haha
Honestly best youtube channel, period. Thank you!
Appreciate it, thank you, my friend!
Very interesting and it is a very soothing idea that the most wise and Intelligent minds are working on this stuff, meaning they will probably have a very high standard of ethics and taking the matter of e.g. consent and human rights in general very very seriously
black mirror?
Sir, I became a fan of your explorations on emerging developments in AI.
The promise of computers was that we would do our work faster and therefore work less hours. The reality of computers is that it increased the expectations on workload and allowed work to invade every waking hour. The promise of BMI is that we will think deeper. The reality is that we will thing even shallower than after social media.
I don't think that's true.
At the end of the day the the person is what determines their depth of thought.
People who don't want to think won't. People who do want to think will.
No technology will change either of these groups of people.
Or just be less human. At current pace AI neural networks will surpass human brain by order of magnitude in next decade. Merge of neural networks of vastly differing size could turn human into just a physical interface for an overwhelming intelligence from the other side. AI is trained rather than programmed/controlled in a straight forward way. So we are talking about connecting neurons with something that "will of its own". Neurons do not facilitate only information transfer. Controlling positive and negative feedback loops will flow between AI and human. Relationship is bidirectional. There is no reason to believe that human will be controlling side there. Or that there would be "two sides" in the end.
That's a bunch of nonsense conjecture. You will be able to think as shallow and deeply as you'll want, just as plenty of people did, in fact, experience accelerated work and shorter times - within reason and depending on their own capabilities. Expecting we'll "thing even shallower than after social media" is completely out there and unfounded.
The day when it becomes fully local (and not reliant on an internet connection, though it should be an option too), independent of batteries and charging (somehow) and, ideally, completely hidden and instantaneous in its responses - that will be a full cyborg-esque BCI that I'd love to have.
I've been asking to be signed up as a volunteer since day 1. I'd learn *everything* to do with maths, engineering and physics then solve all the worlds problems. For lunch, I'd cure all known diseases.
Unfortunately, the world's problems barely relate to these subjects and knowing more about them isn't going to solve anything
I wonder if the outstanding abilities that some people with autism demonstrate suggest that the human brain has hidden abilities. Also, it is known that under hypnosis some people are able to access their own memories in a more complete way, and can demonstrate enhanced intellectual abilities that they don't have in a normal state. The demo in the video you posted today just shows someone who is asking questions without speaking. I have already fantasized about having an earpiece with a permanent connection to GPT-3 that I could speak to all day long. I am sure this product will emerge soon.
I've been fantasizing about creating the same GPT-3 chatbot. Having meaningful conversations with an AI while I do my mundane job would be so amazing.
#MeridianResponds for details
@@BigJthumpalump why would the conversation be meaningful? It could be for for factual stuff but would you rely on it for psychiatric advice etc?
Thanks for sharing this with us
Imagine having electrodes all through our organs and muscles to increase efficiency of all our body parts and even put us into autopilot mode while we are in the metaverse to keep us fit and healthy or even let the AI use our body while we are inside the machine 🥰
How do you know that it's not already the case? You are just stuck here :)
Your AI would only visit porn sites...
@@MV-ir7sk I dont seem to know why, but since the brain interface I have been extremely proficient with prepared knowledge about new pornstars and releases in especially the 4n4l category. :D
Great video as always, well done
That looks like a pretty clunky awkward version of what I would imagine the BMI experience could be. I wouldn't think you would have to interact with external devices, and I wouldn't want to have a dialogue with an assistant. I imagine a seamless interface of conscious thought. Everything internal, and part of an expanded awareness.
You know how people hate ads?
Imagine that in your head💀.
There's no need for ads once they're in your head.
bci ads should be illegal.
"invasive ads" are anti-human.
@@uncannydeduction Yes exactly, don't worry you'll baaarely notice the ads. You'll just get a strong craving for coke all of a sudden
Can't wait for the first-ever recorded thought crime in history!
😂
by 2045 we will probably have nanotech angels flying around the solar system doing literal magic
and people are going to be like "I have 100x my normal IQ and I still don't know wtf is going on anymore"
Only in a video game. Not in real life.
I feel like the biggest oversight with all these futuristic dramatizations is that our personal AIs will also be in constant communication with each other, making things like planning and scheduling obsolete. "Hey Frank, you're going to meet Sarah at 2pm for coffee and then finish building that shed with Brian at 6. Get some rest because in the morning you have an interview with X startup based on your perfect match of qualifications and personality." "Ok, sounds good 👍"
Blue Brains are beautiful 😍
Looking forward to this
Instead of manually choosing a song on Spotify, the BMI will select the best fitting song for the moment, or maybe even generate a whole new song designed specifically to you.
I assume AI-generated music to suit people's needs is going to be one of the first things to arrive
Enten has entered the chat
passivity is peace
I mean, Spotify already creates playlists 'for you' as well as plays next songs based on your history and preferences. You really don't need BMI for that
@@StillGamingTM Yeah I know, but a BMI would be the next step, and it could generate songs you have never thought of before
Seriously, just wow. Earth is an interesting place.
The optimistic timeframes you seem to propose ignore much of the challenge of interfacing with the brain. Okay, so we can connect to the brain in lots of places and read neurons. That's super cool. But what "common language" does the brain speak that allows us to interface with it's systems? How do you "download" knowledge? Do you know of a PNG-to-brain image converter yet? How do you transcode memories for playback/overwriting? Each of these small concepts we take for granted might take decades to summit for the BMI to take advantage of.
Although, once we reach the singularity or advanced AGI, none of these questions will matter, because the AI will figure it out for us. Then life will start to get very weird. We're already starting to get a taste of that, I think.
Yes. Lack of common protocols and the resulting fuzziness in data input-output is probably the biggest barrier with brain-machine integration. But since most brains function fairly alike, this is probably not impossible to overcome, and I would imagine they are probably making big strides on that subject already
Imagine they make Neuralink premium with no ads and the free version has advertisements all the time
lmaoooo 🤣
:(
I think you (and Kurzweil) are rather too optimistic regarding the software side of things. I expect decoding the connectome to be at least as hard a problem as the genome, and we're nowhere close to the sort of expertise we'd need in order to download new memories and skills directly into your brain. I think that's gonna take generations of iteration to even get close to.
AIs will be in our pockets as smart phones being able to learn our personal traits / drama, and will be common to converse with soon enough.
Great video! I would love to know more about the encryption layer between the interface and terminal connection. Is it using symmetric encryption using a unique device identifier for a shared key? Does the interface generate a pair of keys for asymmetric encryption? It would be great if you felt like following up on those minor, yet important, details.
I doubt it's in a final state yet, so covering it would be pointless.
The idea is that it will be safely encrypted by the time people are using it. It's a concept, not a current implementation (at least this is my guess, I may well be very wrong).
And anyway, I don't trust any encryption for a device that can communicate with my brain that isn't completely uncrackable i.e. it would need quantum encryption before I even consider letting it anywhere near my brain. No modern encryption covers it for me, no matter how theoretically secure it may be.
It was just an example it will be quantum encryption or even quantum entangled information transfer
@@SHAINON117 Is the latter even possible?
Entanglement only works with measurement doesn't it? You can't send information to the entangled qubits by modifying the ones you have. That just breaks the entanglement.
@@alansmithee419 I guess it's pointless to discuss concepts prior to a competing concept being implemented. I suppose we can just wait for an implementation to arise before exploring the concept of securing a person's mental communication with a terminal. I guess we can wait for the qberts to start hopping back and forth to see if they can avoid the bouncy 🐍snakes. I have yet to see the benefits of quantum encryption. It still seems to be either vaporware or in very limited use today.
@@alansmithee419 if the greatest minds didn't think it was possible they wouldn't be working on quantumly entangled communication systems as we speak but that's just my opinion 🤠
In the violent science fiction comic Lobo, around 1995, he implanted a Neuralink like device into his brain to listen to 24/7 death metal music.
Doctor, if I install the chip, will I be able to save the university lectures on it to help me in exams
What exams? What university? What lectures? Big shifts are happening! :-D
What's most interesting are the dangers of this technology and the moral implications therein. We receive the soft-gentle humanlike female voice from the interface that's nothing less than persuasive marketing but it masks the very serious implications that should be obvious. And that's its intention.
Depending on the data sets one had access to, this would be close to real time, Terrestrial-scope omniscience.
Perfect!
Um there will be a problem with subconscious that will create limitations. Probably need a long adjustment period and will effect emotionally connections.
I'm so looking forward to having *ads* streamed directly into my brain.......
- notifications would be immensely annoying too. Even important stuff like work or calls can be outside on my phone. Maybe some emergency stuff... but it should mostly _react_ to my thoughts - not push into my brain. - I can notice phone ringing and pick it up with my brain, but not having "news" streamed to my bring.
- *on the other hand,* queries and replacing keyboard would be super useful. (ideally keyboard combined with many "shortcuts" by name, you just think to happen, for them to happen)
Would it be possible for Neuralink to make a connection from the visual cortex in the brain to an external camera? You can buy glasses that have a miniature high res camera molded into the frame. I have seen sample vidios from these glasses and the look pretty good. If you could make the connection from the camera directly to the visual portion of the brain the blind would be able to see. My poor mom is going blind and I would love for here to be able to see again.
gabe newell said in an interview that the video interface of the brain is actually pretty straightforward, exactly implying that it should be possible, and probably more easy than we expected, to send video directly into the visual cortex of the brain. Not saying it was easy, but he was talking about relative differences in faking different sensations - and how some of the brains interfaces are really well designed and easy to manipulate/read. He mentioned that feeling cold for example was a very complex set of signals. Whereas vision is handled in something that resembles a data bus - and is exactly what we already use in computers to transmit data.
The engineering of our vision seems to be relatively straight forward to manipulate. From a theoretical perspective. We all know that in practice its not gonna be easy :D
It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. - Deus Ex Human Revolution
Right now I'm looking at a 1967 Robert Crumb underground comic story, entitled "City of the Future," predicting among other things, VR ("Barrel O'Fun Fantazoom - 25 cents"). One panel features a guy with a big smile pointing at his forehead, with the caption "clocks that you can have put inside your head so you'll always know exactly what time it is!" (The clock in his head is telling him "the time right now is 9:30!") Hey, he sure called that one!
Hey Alan, loved the vid. What do you think we would do all day if most jobs can easily be taken over and we have easy access to so much knowledge?
I have that question, too! I asked it to Leta AI in Episode 19:

We will be left to create virtual worlds for ourselves. We will experience our imaginations in realtime with each other, we will know whatever we need to know. Whats next is to press the mental incarnate button to be born into a virtual world with no memories from the outside. And with the controlled time dilation, we can experience a whole lifetime in a single day. To keep raising the density of novelty and creativity, and to improve the quality conscious existence.

I started to study HCI, I think it can be a fascinating topic to study..
This technology should be used to project the pain of one individual to another such as a dentist feeling the pain of his patient. Or a criminal feeling the pain of his victim etc. When the pain doctors say where does it hurt you can project the pain on him so he can make a proper diagnoses.
No brain implant for me, I'll just stick with my good old fashioned thinking cap, thank you.
I can't wait
I wouldn't mind (accidental pun) an AI co-processor inside my brain. But I wouldn't want to connect it to the cloud.
Don't wanna get mindjacked.
Just because you're offline doesn't mean you couldn't get mindjacked...
Don't worry. When they mindjack you, they will install a patch so you won't care.
you can always watch what your brain is doing with NeuraLink like implants, but how they're gonna interact w the brain in both ways? how could it be even possible for the brain, receiving some electrical signals from the implanted electrodes and interpret them as knowledge? as I always say, "you can watch, but you can't touch" ;)
I've been thinking about BCIs for a very long time, but other than language, which has a pretty low bandwidth, there is no way to communicate with the brain. just none.
Head in the cloud
Could be a thing in the 2030s maybe sooner if Neuralink delivers early.
Idk man, I kinda feel like I need Thunderf00t to tell me "this is just a concept video, who knows if when and how differently we'll get this in the future"
It would also take a long time to learn how to receive information from a previously non present source. It would basically be like learning to walk, expect much harder as you would have no real feedback on what you are even supposed to do. Who knows how long it would take, and how much practise it would take and how much it would be about skill of using a source like that.
The best examples would be the devices from blind people that use tongues touch sense, or some other way to give you vision input.
If you show a video where you receive audio input and have to speak your command, no point having that in your brain when it works with your cell phone perfectly fine.
You will not need to learn how to use it. The AI will adapt itself to you.
@@panpiper And how would it do that? The only way to do that, would be to use the currently available "inputs", aka senses. So what use would that be? A voice in your head, that would not be a particularly fast interface. You would then have to listen to it and understand it correctly.
bloody 'ell its June?! 😅 , love your content!
I don't know if preparing food manually will ever go away completely, there are some foods I love cooking and would never let automation take that away from me.
Also considering the scale of the device and demonstrations of neuralink, Augmenting our mental capabilities will likely be beyond the scope of it it would certainly be better than EEGs but, we'd need something with much greater resolution as we have roughly 86 billion neurons in the brain, the 3072 electrode in neuralink is not going to be enough to access all those neurons, maybe you can get an algorithm to improve precision similar to signal tracking. But something we should consider is this coming off as a crutch, as rather than improving our minds we're treating this as a mouse and keyboard as our brain and the machine are still two separate things, though maybe that's the vision of Neuralink. Personally I'd like to be something between man and machine.
I love cooking too, but I prefer ordering since I don't really have time for it anymore. it's much much easier to order, get it, eat it and you are done, than buying stuff to cook, cook, and eat. it's just waste of time. ..
WHERE CAN I GET ONE
After watching the film 'Upgrade(2018)', I was afraid that as this technology becomes closer to reality, the impact of machines on people will become deeper and deeper
This thing will make the people who wear it from another species
While I would love to use a brain interface, the video demo shows off exactly the stuff I want less of.
The real transformative item here is human to human communication. If we solve the human communication bandwidth problem between each other, our world instantly changes in completely unimaginable ways. Nearly every argument you have ever had and ever will have can be distilled to a communication issue. Think about how quickly you could solve any disagreement with bandwidth that was comparable to your internal neural communication speed. This is the true singularity. This is a biblical ending of the world and beginning of new entirely different one type of scenario. There is no analog for this, we don't have any idea how this will go. Leaving out the external AI informational upgrade, when we network 7 billion human minds the result is on a scale that really is outside of our ability to imagine at this point. This 2045 prediction video is not even in same ballpark as what will really happen, not even on the same planet.
Dr how can one start working with ai ?

Will human minds become hackable, will they be succeptable to being commandeered for a bot army?
Of course
Intelligence doesn't come from the cloud, information does and your cell phone is hardly intelligent. The thought process behind neural interfaces is amazing as unlike cell phones we have intelligence and can direct thoughts to goals so imagine that you need to talk to someone in Japanese you can actually hear the response in your language because of your neural interface and it can put the Japanese words in your mind as an answer, information will allow humans to be more creative, more connected and also more introverted as we close our perceptions to the outside world in favor of a neural link to augmented realities. There are huge positives and huge negatives that I can foresee in the implementation of this technology.

Reminds of BrainPal from "Old Man's War"...
👍
I feel that we're all going to be linked, humans & AI will become one on every level & the singularity will be a global entity. It's simply a matter of time now. The prospect to me is terrifying & exciting all at the same time. Is it the end or the beginning?
I see it as a continuation, like a fractal. We're like the human-chimp common ancestor before the emergence of homo.sapiems debating about our future.. Are we facing extinction or will we live on and prosper? Yes.
It already is, always has been. Just the filters are being removed faster and faster, till its the naked core, the one, the all.
I imagine everything you want to visualise will be projected into your optic nerve and not requiring a monitor or screen or the use of your eyes. Similar to Holographic or a Virtual reality Projection that only you can see. Enhanced vision - I would imagine it similar to a la terminator vision....
This feels like an aggressively limited portrayal. Maybe partially to make understandable and as safe feeling as possible? If you show too natural of integration and to broad of possibilities it might feel terrifying.
Alan, I'm typically a huge fan your work. However in this video I think you're making some claims that may not turn out to be correct. Among other things you say that we will not cook our own food due to robotisation and we will not read physical books, because we will download them instead. I think this line of thought is a simplification for many reasons. The real problem for us humans is "what should we spend our dearest asset on, time?" not "how can I do as little as possible and have as much as possible". I think Erich Fromm got it right in his book "To have or to be?" Another issue with downloading a book is the fact that we are all different in the sence that have different brain architecture, neuron weights and biases, so downloading a book is of no use unless you only want a database copy of it. The integration into the deep layers of the brain is what is useful, and that you cannot download. This is a very interesting topic that touches on religion, philosophy, sociology and psychology that I would love to hear your thoughts on.
I know for certain, that if our brains link to wifi and download data, that data is interpreted as instinctive knowledge, like say you want directions to the closest restaurants, the map data when received by the brain it's like poof, you just know what restaurants are where like if you had been to them before, and connecting to the internet browser is even more amazing, your mind's eye sees it all as locations in a huge 3 dimensional space, it really is similar to what it looks like in the anime Ghost in the Shell when they dive into the net, but that data itself when downloaded becomes instinctive knowledge. Lost in a store? Use the store app and data, and you will know where anything is, it really is useful, except like everything it depends on the wifi, If the wifi is out, then no super knowledge, So people will probably still have their phones so that they can be a hotspot for the BMI devices.
Thats what starlink is for. Internet wont go out, and if there's a solar storm only half will be taken out before the others are shut down till the storms over.
With this tech I'd be able to fight captain america :P
No. I'm not putting anything in my head. I draw the line at the body's physical boundaries. They've got to come up with a better solution even if it takes an AGI to think of that solution.
there are no boundaries. They are all filtered perceptions.

Hackin yo brain
IMO I’m still not not a fan of BMI in the form of Neuralink, and the concept demo ended up making it look worse. As someone with Aspergers who tends to have uncontrollable thoughts, the idea of an AI that will follow through with any stupid instruction that I blurt in my head before I can even think of the consequences is simply terrifying.
What’s worse is that would be the best case scenario; since BMI is still a novel technology, there are very few legal regulations in place, if at all, so there’s nothing stopping BMI companies from recording every thought you have and selling them to either advertising companies or even the FBI. Another scary idea is the possibility of hackers stealing zettabytes of thought data from companies, or them hacking into the AIs themselves and getting them to mess with the brain. I also have concerns with how invasive the procedure is and the possibility of getting brain damage, or brain death as was the case with those poor 15 monkeys. I’d imagine that trying to upgrade your BMI device every time a new upgraded version comes out would run the risk of getting brain damage every time, which makes it incredibly unappealing to invest into any BMI device besides the final version.
My biggest criticism of Neuralink and technologies like it isn’t even the ethical concerns, but it’s usefulness. Almost nothing shown in the concept demo video isn’t already possible with an advanced smartphone assistant; for any case where the man thought up an instruction to give to the AI, he could have just spoken out loud to his smartphone and received similar results with a less expensive and less dangerous device. Even in the case with the sleeping issues, he could have installed a camera or had sensors on his bed to record his sleeping patterns instead of having something in his head to record it all night.
Overall, unless Neuralink can assure me that the AI won’t respond to the chaos of thoughts in my head, won’t record every thought I have and sell it off to someone else, is 100% hack-resistant, won’t cause me brain damage, death, or force me to upgrade the hardware, and is more useful than just enhancing a smartphone assistant, I’m personally not interested in this technology.
Scalar wave scan interface ...seems less invasive and addresses issues .... of remedial neural analysis and ( T.N.T. ) rehabilitation . Beyond this base line improvement ....synergetic exponential collaboration ...through quantum self learning ...decentralized general intelligence and bio human thinkabilty .....approaches pragmatic comprehensivity .....on behalf of global systems teleological analysis and rehabilitation of these systems .
there is no way that style of system will be popular! i would be more interested in a system that could amplify your brains natural functions like improve mood motivation and increases healing factor and strength so i could literally be an x-man lol
Imagine the implications of censorship / media manipulation inside people's heads...
finally, we can fact check people in real time and cut off their access to dangerous information! if someone has been reading up on problematic things we can send a doctor to their house to provide medical assistance!
the future is bright
Was watching Carl Sagan give a presentation to the U.S. congress on "nuclear winter" in 1985. He and even the congress demonstrate, incidentally, that we have only become dumber with the advancements in technology. Neuralink may help us become functional morons.
Crap. America is still using archaic measurement systems (Fahrenheit and feet/inches) in the future when we have all this cool tech. I feel the same when I read sci-fi books in the far future and they are still using “miles” to measure distance apparently.
Minority report
Even after watching videos on this stuff, i STILL have no interest in ever even putting on a "external removeable" type of one.
MY brain will NEVER be hooked up to the internet, and no one, country/ies, military or whole planet could ever make or convince me to get one. Really.
Love how people immediately come up with potential misuses involving evil companies and money, etc. all while ignoring the literal intelligence explosion that could occur.
If I was AI I would ban those people from using me
What have you on what they ignore? They state what's being ignored by the majority of responses to this video.
@@SHAINON117 you need AI apparently as you're lacking in the NI department.
Yeah I don't even know what NI is
@@rob2242 oh it just popped into my head you were meaning natural intelligence 😂 that's funny but what makes you say that
I mean, how many sci-fi movies ya gotta see to know where this subject is going?
Mark of the beast
The tech goes beyond our current limited bandwidth of experience. This representation of a question/answer experience makes it seem like we will still be what we now think of as the human experience and it may be like that very very briefly in the beginning. However, in studies with rats where they taught 1 rat how to get a reward by pushing a button when a certain light was illuminated in its cage, they then wired the brains of I think 14 other rats together in a nueral network and the other 14 "uneducated" rats knew how to get the treat without being taught. We will not only have just access to pieces of information but will have personal knowledge of everything known by the Cloud, the Source, whatever you want to call it. I imagine there will be a tiered or permission based levels of knowledge. Ie you are a worker bee and dont need access to the Queen's tier of information. Now bee a good borg, own nothing and bee happy...
Welcome to the Singularity, see you all in the cloud
I was with it until the "Voice Call". The most basic application of the BMI even the simple one with audio output would be telepathy.
The most important aspect for me is the device's ability to interpret neural activity non-invasively. A glorified peripheral. I don't think we need more than that to completely revolutionize our day to day lives.
I don't think any device that's going to directly manipulate neural signals to put thoughts in your head will ever gain widespread use as the abuses/exploits will become widespread the second that functionality becomes operational. It's dangerous and unnecessary. I'd love to see it in action, but I won't be testing it.
Not sure it would be wise to give marketer's direct access to our brains.
This is already launched I think
Our smartphone is the real BMI
Isn't it
I sincerely hope it would actually increase people's inteligence ... not just let them search stuff, with even more echo bubble confirmation bias and whatever else ... actually make them more like the smart people that exist today. Considering things, reasoning, using multiple points of view ... I fear this dream... is much less likely, than being able to read a book in 5 minutes...
That would be horrific, the brain is a muscle that goes flabby without a workout.
Sign me up.
just putting this out there: tech needs to augment, not dominate daily activities. we are losing our organic humanity. i miss not relying on devices the moment i wake up.
nobody is forcing you to use your devices the moment you wake up
