>silicone pill
Are you implying plastic surgery will fix niggers and kikes, or did you misspell silicon?

So NSA and CIA can now spy my brains directly?
Sure as fuck hope they are ready to gaze upon my sexual fantasies then!

Yea i misspelled that shit

Haha yea

Science throughout history has sought to fix god's mistakes. Soon we'll start to improve on his design. The future isn't all doom and gloom. I can't wait for cyborg legs and robotic eyes.

>tfw ywn be a cyborg

Technically those things already exist but i feel you senpai, I'm trying to become a biomedical engineer

Soon

Can someone redpill me on """transhumanism"""? I get its about cyborgs and AI and stuff but I still don't get the appeal.

>Biomed

How is it? I've had a big interest in it but it's not my chosen field. Figured if something happened that I had to switch I'd give it a go. I assume it's competitive and intense?

It's literally just trannies larping about getting a brain transplant into a roboslut body that's 95% of it

It's just the promise of cure to every disease through augmentation (bionical and genetical ones) and increased performance in tasks (mechanical, biological and genetical augmentations).

The thing that will most likely go wrong here is that these treatments are going to cost an arm and a leg and so your average person cant afford any of it, ultimately causing the rich to become super-human while rest remain as disease riddled masses.

Also sweet ass robot arms is what is selling it.

So I can download anime girls directly to my brain?

I'm actually in community college right now but from what I've read it's not very competitive since it's so new. There's an expected 23% job increase from 2014 to 2024 in the U.S

Kek, spot on

I'd argue we would be better off using biological nano-augmentations instead of robotizing ourselves, but that's still a fringe topic even nowdays

>I WILL be a test subject! I WILL be the first transhuman on Mars! YOU HEAR ME ELON!? I know you talk to DAHNALD!

HAHA THANKS ELON

CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT RIGHTS TO GIVE SOMETHING THAT IS LITERALLY HALF HUMAN

CAN'T WAIT FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD MORE CUTTING EDGE TREATMENTS TO BECOME QUITE LITERALLY MORE POWERFUL ON A PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL SCALE

CAN'T WAIT FOR SENTIMENTAL PSEUDS WHO WILL WANT TO GIVE AI HUMAN RIGHTS

CAN'T WAIT FOR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TO GIVE UP ON MY PC AND TRY TO GAIN DIRECT ACCESS TO MY FUCKING HEAD

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ABILITY TO PROGRAM A HAPPY SLAVE

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT CRISPR CAS9, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN?

Oh really? Man I should consider it then.

Android, cyborg, just let shed the limits of this mortal body. Let me see colours I wasn't meant to, hear sounds, taste flavors, experience things humans normally couldn't. I know that won't be for a very, very long time but if it's starting now I might live to see it.

There will soon be one each for all of you, user.

OH AND DID I MENTION AI WITH CAPACITY FOR EMOTION AND UNDERSTANDING OF AESTHETICS REPLACING HUMANS IN THE ARTS AS WELL AS STEM FIELDS AND MANUAL LABOR

You just expect the spell checker aug to fix that shit for you in the future, don't you?

This is why you'll lose.

I hope fascism wins desu.

>not taking the superior silica pill and dying a painful death

This goy gets it.

>Mr. Musk, what exactly do you wish to attain with this project?
>The one you knew as Elon Musk is no more, WE ARE NEURALINK, You're biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.

>Oh really? Man I should consider it then.

Hell yea, I already convinced my cousin and brother to do as well.

>Implying transhumanism and fascism can't go hand in hand

>Ted "El Rato" Cruz becomes the first human-rat hybrid to walk on Mars.
fund it

It's more of a security measure to make sure that humans don't get surpassed by AI.
It's an interesting idea for sure

letting the kikes trap u in their computer box

>Science can't explain Human Memory Let alone human consciousness
>But we'll have a neuralink between humans and AI(?)

You ever heard of walking before you can run? These guys are attempting to rocket to the moon before they've built a bicycle.

get this cucklord off my front page!

Glad someone gets it

Letting your fear of the Jews stop you from doing great things

yay a post about sex robots with 6 posts

Why would new medical treatments be super expensive when no one would buy them? it doesn't sound like good business. Pretty much every drug that has helped humanity has never been kept for the elite, The pharma companies that are producing these drugs don't just come from a single source. I guess if government ran drug companies in some distopian communist future yeah I could see it happen.

But at what cost?

At point does this guy sound like an edgy faggot? Youre not Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark. All this sci-fi space shit now linking your brain to a computer. How about you make a phone battery that lasts more then couple hours, let's start there.

So why isn't anyone working on a bipedal house cleaning robot yet?

What was the cost of replacing horses with cars?

project overlord here we come

This is a potentially vastly different matter. But I'm not worrying because I don't need it.

>CRISPR
Yes please. I'm quite fond of the idea of changing my DNA so that I produce my own vitamin C, for instance. Or produce enzymes to break down any food source we want. Or you could go the direction they did in Sidonia no Kishi and make it so we can fucking photosynthesize.

I think the CIA has too much influence on what is called a "disruptive technology" today. They got DARPA to make bipedal robots to look like clumsy nightmares so that no one will attempt to make one for the near future.

The cool thing is that with current experimentation we've shown that if you were to connect a robotic third arm to your nervous system you would most likely learn to control it with your brain.

With this kind of shit you could be more efficient at doing things. On top of that you would likely have to worry a lot less about dying.

Reminder: Just like deep state level of technology vs civilian of technology, you will never be allowed to be stronger or faster than the elites can be, and this is more for them to gain an advantage and leverage their power even more despotically.

Smart phones and smart watches were seen as edgy sci-fi shit 20 years ago. Different fields focus on different things and every science and technology advances at its own pace

My cell phone 20 years ago

But he is though.

>6'2"

>SIX sons (triplets, and twins even)

Is it jealousy of the White Man that drives you to say this?

I.. guess they could...

people who are using all caps are usually trolls

:)

Noice

That would come much much later. Until then enjoy the robosluts

I know, just a funny meme

Checked.

We could just live in entertainment. Create procedural MMOs or whatever the fuck where we artificially create scarcity for ourselves.

not for a while, that will evolve through VR.
VR goggle right now display graphics on a high def. screen. Later they project light directly into your retinas.

Maybe one day they can plug into your retinas to upload anime or porn into your brain.

>yfw Alex Jones was unironically right
>the elites will merge humanity with machines to create super slaves

>let's just blindly keep advancing our technology and play pickup as new increasingly dramatic problems arise and pray to god that we can catch everything before something very bad happens

Great idea! All in the name of Science, right? Because Scientific Progress is the great true Other, the true goal of humanity, and all things should be sacrificed to acquire it, right? Lay yourself prostrate before knowledge! Sacrifice pleasure and safety and stability and culture for it!!!

Science FTW!!!!!1!!1

Hearty kek

not without a massive uprising by the people, or else they will depopulate us through vaccines/water treatments/godknowswhat

And we'd end up right back here.

Oh wait

Cybran commander overlords when?

Not jealousy, I feel like he could do more good if he focused on fewer things. Instead of doing 100 things poorly, do 1 thing well. I feel like he's just a brand at this point, just slapping his name on any dumb idea that comes across his desk that's edgy enough.

It is simply a fetish.

For some time I've been thinking about how all those technocrats could be seriously overestimating the benefits of intelligence. My personal theory is that some infinitely intelligent machine god would just end up being depressed out of the ass, in the face of the meaniglessness of the universe, bored, or might reach some form of nirvana and say, fuck you I'm out have fun on your own. I mean why would a true AI even want to talk to us? I don't talk to ants.

>the silicone pill

David Icke has been warning about this for 15 years.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRAIN_Initiative

They still going to build it

Imagine everyday life.

Now imagine everyday life with ridiculous mods.

Calm down you schizophrenic faggot, no one us saying you need to sacrifice anything

When you fry your brain in order to upload your consciousness to the internet and become a Digital Shitposting God, are you creating a copy of you as your vision goes black forever?

What would you choose an attractive human looking synthetic body or a terrifying metal robot looking body?

Well, the difference is that you wouldn't necessarily have to die if you died in said virtual environment.

WTF is this captcha?

depends on the manufacturer and materials used :P

Buddy, these are legitimate concerns that you should be having too. Look past the image you have of yourself with bionic arms and a glowing eye fucking an asian sex robot

It has very serious ethical and existential implications/consequences. I was memeing and going all-caps, but try to give me any reason you shouldn't be worried about these

just skip them kekeke

don't chock block me bro

Why settle for one body? Can't I have both a casual killbot chassis and a formal interplanetary cruise frame?

This is how I know you know nothing about Musk.

Tesla is worth more than Ford now, it by any metric (besides perhaps personal aesthetic) creates the best production car ever made. It produces the most lithium ion batteries, and almost every other car manufacturer buys the cells they make, Tesla also makes an astounding number of solar panels and makes the best ones, SpaceX has the best launch cadence in the industry, and the fewest failures. Further they are the cheapest, and are the only company with the capacity to reuse their rockets.

I am not even getting into the minor things he has his companies focus on.

So you'll have to tell me what he does poorly.

And if you say "DA HYPERLOOP" you're an idiot. He has nothing to do with the Hyperloop besides sponsoring a competition with different teams to test scaled down versions of the system. He isn't focused on it.

He has OpenAI because he's trying to set the standard for how AI research should be pursued. Everyone memes about, "YOU NEVER BOTHERED TO ASK WHY YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF ASKING IF YOU COULD DO SOMETHING!" when he knows that AGI is an inevitability and is trying to get there first, or at the very least put in some industry standards that everyone should follow for safety reasons.

The Boring Company is perhaps your one and only argument, but it's something he started just a few months ago and is his way of penetrating another avenue of infrastructure development and planning.

So what is it I am missing? You seem to know more than me from the way you're talking.

So what's the plan? As long as there's money in more technology, you can't stop it. Someone will do it, China will mass-produce it, and it will be in your market before long.

Yea i agree with you but nothing is for certain and nothing is black or white

Oh snap

I am still waiting for a massive war with china so we can free their slave labor camps and replace them with robots...

>it's in motion and probably can't be stopped, so just shut up and roll over, pray the assfucking is wet and quick, and take it like the pathetic fuck you are

So should we stop worrying about full automation and globalization as well? Should we not maybe use the amazing tool that is government to prevent our demise?

you know he's gonna give it to Trump first so we can have our first cyborg president and rule the world

>CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT RIGHTS TO GIVE SOMETHING THAT IS LITERALLY HALF HUMAN

Define.

>CAN'T WAIT FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD MORE CUTTING EDGE TREATMENTS TO BECOME QUITE LITERALLY MORE POWERFUL ON A PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL SCALE

An irrelevancy.

>CAN'T WAIT FOR SENTIMENTAL PSEUDS WHO WILL WANT TO GIVE AI HUMAN RIGHTS

You don't have to give it rights, it will take them. That's what AGI does.

>CAN'T WAIT FOR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TO GIVE UP ON MY PC AND TRY TO GAIN DIRECT ACCESS TO MY FUCKING HEAD

An irrelevancy.

>CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ABILITY TO PROGRAM A HAPPY SLAVE

You ever have kids? They're basically happy slaves that use half your DNA as programming.

>AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT CRISPR CAS9, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN?

This falls back into what you said before about the rich. It's an irrelevancy.

I literally asked what's the plan, stop putting words in my fucking mouth.

Should be /thg/ i fucked up

The Human Condition and Psyche must be altered for the next stage of civilization to take place.

Tribalism, cognitive biases, and greed must be replaced with emotional intelligence, improved rationality and high work ethic, either through genetic engineering or through uploaded consciousness that has "restrictions" and does not emulate the psychology of our biological brains

>Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience, and their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider.
Oh yes!

But full automation doesn't lead to demise. Full automation simply changes the way society operates. There's no point in requiring jobs to be done by people if they could instead be done by robots more efficiently.

There's a reason why normal people today eat better than kings did a few hundred years ago. It has to do with technology and progress.

should be /h+g/

>So should we stop worrying about full automation and globalization as well?

Why is this a problem?

>Should we not maybe use the amazing tool that is government to prevent our demise?

Assuming you even have a say in the matter, this is a Christian board for Anarchists, Libertarians, and Conservatives. This board wants a small, egalitarian government at most. I would love to see how this could be used as a tool effectively enough to stop anything mentioned. Further, even if it could, it wouldn't be applied to anything beyond your own nation state so it's... an irrelevancy.

Does that mean I don't get the job?

I wonder if this dude has any affection for South Africa. He was born here and his folks are South African.

Anyway, Sign me up I would gladly merge with AI.

True

He doesn't.

Transhumanism nowadays is close to being a religion. I see nothing wrong in bettering your body capacities (and I mean capacities, not becoming a more-human which is subjective), for me it's merely another way man is doing what God intended him to do. We were made in his image and every actions we are undertaking is to make us closer to him, we are creators just as he is only on a way smaller scale. I'm not christian btw, I just like the imagery and I do think there is an higher power.

Anyway we should always remember that augmentations, AIs and shit are tools and we shouldn't subject ourselves to them. As you enhance the body you still need to have a strong set of moral and i'm not sure transhumanism will be able to offer us that (letting the gattaca shit aside)

Get the hell out of here Denton

It would be best if the government were cucked to the people rather than the other way around.

There should be excessive surveillance and transparency from the bottom up.

The combined firepower of all the citizen's weaponry should vastly outgun the government. Vigilantism and mutual fear of deadly retaliation will keep violence at an all time low without the need for police.
