What do you think about uploading your consciousness to a machine?

[ShellyBo]

There are a lot of wealthy people out there that think there are too many of us poors. Bill Gates wants us to eat bugs, and John Kerry says we have to stop producing as much food. Johnny says that producing food causes climate change, and that will kill us all. So Johnny just wants the poor to starve, so he can keep eating steak.

"Transferring human consciousness into a machine – or to put it another way, mind uploading – has long been a popular motif in science fiction, but for now, seems like a far-off dream. However, a professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo believes we’re on the cusp of making mind uploading a reality, moreover, in a seamless operation using a brain–machine interface while the mind’s ‘owner’ is still very much alive."

While I don't give two shits about Johnny boy, I do think this would be a great option for the terminally ill, or folks that are suicidal.

Johhny can keep eating steak, and the rest of us can live in the Matrix.

That sounds way too expensive and time consuming for reducing world population.

An injection would suffice.

[ShellyBo]

Are you volunteering for the injection? I'll pay for it.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Nah, I'm not poor thankfully.

[ShellyBo]

We're all rich on this site.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

That's true.
And we are all six zeroes entrepeneurs that fuck super models every night and yet are here 24 hours a day.

[ShellyBo]

More like 20 hours per day.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Pfft. Amateur.

[ShellyBo]

Netflix doesn't just watch itself. I'm in the middle of the Walking Dead! I don't get it. You have smart, living people, against brain-dead zombies! Why are the smart people using bullets? Just grab a bulldozer and push the Z's off a cliff!

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

If they were actually smart they would just go where there are no zombies, duh.

[ShellyBo]

I live in the city where Z Nation was filmed. I joke with people because I told them that they came to our city because it was so easy to find zombies. I won't go downtown at night, because it's too much like being in an episode of The Walking Dead, or, Z Nation.

It's about the "crystal" blue persuasion.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

What are they going to do with my mind though? it is like a blank slate🤣🤣

[ShellyBo]

In that case, it will only take up a few kilobytes of space. 😂
We will put you on the same thumb drives as the flies.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

I wonder how much will be needed to storw all the things in @Billlewis 's mind

[BlissfullyCurSed]

*store

[ShellyBo]

Quantum computers can store stuff at the atomic level. Atoms are pretty dang small. You would need tweezers to pick one up.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

you clearly don't know him well. Soon, you'll be acquainted with uncle Bill!

[jahaims]

It still wouldn't be the person. It would just be ai with access to all of your thoughts and memories and it would mimic the person's personality.

[ChicoFromThe305]

What's with you and machines Shelly? 😂

[ShellyBo]

It's not me, it's the Japanese! lol

[ChicoFromThe305]

What are you American? It's Japanese but that doesn't stop your American little nose from being all up on them machines 😂

[ShellyBo]

Imagine if you were a quadruple amputee. Would you choose to go into the Matrix, or just lay there like a jelly bean?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sounds like i can get paid for laying like a jelly bean so I guess it depends 🤔

But I see your point

[ShellyBo]

This type of science came about as an alternative to overpopulation. So many people around the world are starving, so this makes sense to me.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep don't stress It, I'm just teasing you Shelly, interesting post ha

[ShellyBo]

One of my favorite movies is "Transcendence."
Check it out.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sounds familiar, it's possible I might have seen it

[ShellyBo]

Johnny Depp is uploaded to a computer. He then asks his wife to get him on the Internet. Once on the Internet he can control everything. He makes her rich via the stock market, and she uses the money to help people. Johnny knows how to cure blindness and about everything else.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Okay that does sound pretty cool, as man I wish I had someone in the computer making me rich and shit while I chill

[ShellyBo]

But this goes back to my robot wife idea! You can still have a real wife, but just cheat on your robot wife!

[ChicoFromThe305]

Or have a robot maid and a human wife, wouldn't that be the same thing? 😂

[ShellyBo]

If you mean just a real wife that acts like a robot, that will be a tough sell unless you have more money than Elon.

[ChicoFromThe305]

No I mean a woman with emotions and that runs on them Shelly, like you, human and acts like one, not a human woman that acts like a robot 😂

[ShellyBo]

Just get both. Your real wife will love a maid!

[ChicoFromThe305]

As a maid I wouldn't have a problem, not as a wife tho lol

[ShellyBo]

Exactly! My brother has a robo vacuum. It comes out of its station twice per day, cleans stuff up, and then goes back to its charging station! Brilliant.
I just want a robot that will cook, clean, and drive me to work.

[ChicoFromThe305]

That sounds comfortable, mostly the driving part, sounds luxurious, if it's for work I'd have a few robots, maybe even some for security if it reaches that type of advance 😆
