It about as much science fiction as claiming that homes will become self-sufficient energy wise as people install renewable technologies and batteries.
We've already created synthetic neurons that replicate the functionality of biological ones and can communicate with them. We've already got life support systems that can keep people alive for decades. We've already got neural interfaces that allow people to control technology with their thoughts and send rudimentary communications to other peoples brains and even control their bodies. We've got Elon Musk talking about creating neural laces and creating Neuralink to do so and teaming up Kernel to pursue that goal. We've got Gabe Newell talking about incorporating brain-computer interfaces into VR headsets and we've also got a Russian billionaire who is determined to become a synthetic immortal by 2050. DARPA are also half way through a 4 year project that's going to make neural interfaces 100x more accurate.
Like I said, given our current technologies and the direction of our research, it's quite obvious that were heading for synthetic immortality and we're likely to reach that goal this century.
The only biological humans that will still exist 200 years from now will all be religious fanatics too afraid to step up and become gods themselves.
not nerly a parallelism. you can't just bring up any innovation and claim that if that is done, anything will be done..come on.
In the 1960's we got people speaking about Moon colonies in 20 years. How come it did not happen?
Possibly but we are more or less 300 years away (minimum) . not as close as one might think.
religion is the product of death. once death is conquered religion will perish along with it. same applies to philosophy.
If a species creates the transistor, they're going to create an Internet too if they keep progressing as it's the logical progression of the technology.
Because it was completely impractical and uneconomical to do so. Transitioning to a synthetic species is neither.
If you truly think that, you're going to be utterly gobsmacked by how fast society changes over the next couple of decades. Google this stuff and see what the experts in those fields are saying. It's far closer to being 30 years away than it is 300 years. You think it's 300 years away because you think technology is progressing at a linear rate but it isn't, it's progressing at a exponential rate.
you simply can't know this even if it makes sense logically.
space and immortality are pretty much the same thing. Why explore a deadly void? why live forever? fear of death is a religious concept btw. Q had the right idea.
said every single futurist of every era. You believe too much sci-fi bro.
news are sensational bro. don't be so gullible.
It was. the transistor might have been going on an exponential rate but we kind hit a benchmark now.
