A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

AI powered brain-chips is a concept that terrifies me but also fascinates me because it would avoid this kind of useless bullshit.
Imagine having a very advanced AI in your brain that knows you really well (because well, it's in your brain). You could have concepts and information explained in the most effective way for you, or (and this really is scary) directly written in your brain so that you suddenly just know something. Your colleagues would just have to think the information that you need to receive, and then their chip and your chip would communicate so that the message gets "translated" to your own "thought language".
I think that's the future we will face if we don't wipe ourselves out of existence first. The "cool" thing is it would be an actual evolutionary leap that would make us something we can't really grasp at the moment.
The scary thing is it would of course be a shit sold by corporations to transmit ads directly to your brain or some shit
