Over my dead body.
Also, this is laughable:
We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.
These guys don't even have true AI yet, just a text predictor on steroids that frequently hallucinates and gets things wrong.
The cope is really deep in the tech sector. Way too many imbeciles who think they're geniuses and too much VC to throw around.
AI is incredible if you ask it about stuff you're not an expert on. Once you ask it those things you already have expert level knowledge on, especially nuanced questions, you'll start to see the issues. It won't be every question it gets wrong, but it's often enough to be an issue.
In other words, it’s all an illusion. It’s a ruse to get us to feed it our thoughts, so it can summarize our files and our queries, and it can feed us the responses it is told to feed us.
We already know it can do that since they’re placing fucking ads in it.
"This shit ain't nothing to me, man."
yes doomers they're coming for you doomers ...
just because you're paranoid .....
bwahahahahahaaaaaa ....
No, I don't think I will
AI CEO D. Scott Phoenix laid out a vision of a world in which the chipped enjoy so many advantages of the unchipped that you’ll be forced to comply.
I won't even verify my age online. He can shove my advantageous chip right up his ass.
I'm glad I learned that excessive convenience is a bad thing before this became the norm.
forced to comply.
The language I'd expect from a villain in some fiction aimed at teenagers, not from a real person. This is so bizarre, and the amount of people ok with ceos saying those things is disturbing
Sounds like someone who has never lived off the land. If anything like this happens you can guarantee there will be communes of people without this like the amish but not so weird.
Doesn't matter.. we all know you're a 47 year old used car salesman from Peoria.
LOL!
Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!
The smart glasses are selling really well tho. Creeps and people wanting to record everything I guess
Sorry chooms, I won’t be chippin’ in.
Let me put a chip in my brain that will run software developed by the lowest paid intern using claude 7. I dont trust big corp to update my phone and car, there is zero chance i trust them with my brain.
The incredible, sci-fi point-&-click adventure game Technobabylon is about people who chose to install such "wetware" into their brains and people, like the protagonist, who refused it. It's good stuff.
Isn’t it also a major plot point in Cyberpunk 2077? Like, the plot point?
The fuck I will. Unless they change the definition of 'give in' to 'die' then they don't know shit. I don't want them in my PHONE, let alone my FUCKING HEAD. I think about them too much as is.
No I wouldn't trust them with something like that. Too many times they get us hooked on some technology, only to pull the rug later and jack up the prices, or enshittify the service.
Later on they will sell your brain to private equity CEO like Bitwarden.
I won't even get contact lenses, I ain't letting them putting a chip in my brain.
I’m reminded of the guy I saw who couldn’t get out of the courthouse parking garage because he didn’t have a smartphone to pay for the parking.
I’d still rather break a gate than get an implant.
If it happens regularly, you can always keep a battery-powered reciprocating saw in your car to make it easier. Heck, that's probably faster than the app!
The actual article is much more informative than a rando's ramblings.
If by "for a while" you mean "until I'm dead" . . then yea, sure. Any other definition . . no chance in hell.
Can't wait for adverts for the ass blaster 9000® to be beamed directly into my frontal lobe without my consent.
Another tech headline, another thing that would have sounded pretty cool 20-30 years ago but today sounds like an absolute nightmare to stay FAR away from. And this one more than most!
A report in Politico details a TED talk in Vancouver last month
Oh so it's just rambling musings of some self-important CEO rather than any actual declaration of intent.
There are some good TED talks but a lot of them are just hot air.
I feel like the bar is extremely low for TED talks these days. But maybe it has just changed to a financial one instead of an intellectual one.
"You'll eventually give in" Tells you everything you need to know about the power of large tech companies in the US .
We have the money and the power to force this technology in to the mainstream. Tech companies know that Congress is way too old, way too corrupt, and way too slow to really do anything about regulating stuff like this in a reasonable time frame. They have no real barriers and the heads of these companies don't give a shit about the user as long as they pay their monthly subscription.
They can't even supply chips for computers or phones at this point...they think they can introduce an entirely new product type (which has yet to have much success, either) while failing with the datacenter LLM shit?
The only way I would ever even consider this is if the firmware was open source and the software to interact with it was open source and it had no direct connection to any sort of network at all and required an external device that I could turn off or on to connect to it an external network. Oh, and the hardware would need to be open source as well.
These people need to be stopped. Seriously.
Lmao cant wait to hear about the unforeseen side effects, like imagine getting a headache every time there's a solar flare or CME
I was going to say “imagine getting an MRI” but they’ll probably use all our helium for cooling superconductive quantum AI datacenters so…won’t be no MRI
I believe David Icke predicted this way back in the late 80's, early 90's. Who would have thought that fruitcake would be right about something?
I wouldn't trust these assholes with a rabid viper let alone my own brain
Bloody amateur cartoon villains, attempting to do mass mind control…
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
