I really want to live in the technologically-advanced, socialist utopia conservatives think mainstream Democrats are trying to produce

Here's a free cyber implant for you comrade. ⚙️

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know it opens doors we probably shouldn't, but I'd have trouble declining a memory assistance implant.

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd go total replacement if it ever becomes viable. Full gradual-brain-replacement and completely robotic body. Probably too far out for anyone alive today, but we can hope. After all, at that point it's just a roundabout way to immortality.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The biggest issue is that memory isn't stored in one location. There's certain locations that index memories, but the memories themselves are all over the place. Even if we could replace an area of the brain with robotic components, it's probably more efficient to promote neurogenesis and have damaged sections regrow. We might implant electrodes in the brain for additional functionality, but neurons are so efficient it'll be a long time before we can improve upon them. Regrowing body parts will be preferable to replacing parts, and we'll only add robotic components to augment biology.

I think we'll see biology used in computers more than we'll see artificial parts replace biology. Researchers already use neurons to act as nodes in neutral networks with promising results.

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed, but that depends on if we develop those biological modifications / replacement before artificial parts can do 'good enough.' I'd rather live in an OK robot or computer sim than die because the body couldn't be replaced biologically. Although as you said, we won't be improving on neurons anytime soon. But the rest can be replaced well enough to function.

Yeah, didn't think we were heading that direction, but now that they mention it...

Bring on the fully automated luxury gay space communism.

Oh my, I have bad news about our warhammer future

Is it space Nazis? It's space Nazis isn't it...

It's worse, they're "the good guys".

They make the left sound so much cooler than we really are.

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Well when you can become a gender destroying cyborg just for not caring who uses what public bathroom, just like we do in our own homes, the sky becomes the limit for how cool you can be. Embrace it, you're one cool cat.

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Weird to think everyone with a pacemaker, insulin pump, or cochlear implant is trans but hey, I don’t make the rules.

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Wait till you find out that almost no one has a gendered bathroom in their house, everyone is trans.

when your unpaid intern finally has enough and replaces transsexual with transhuman in the ChatGPT prompt for your speech

[–] RobertOwnageJunior@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I didn't care about people's prefered genetelia before, but if we're going full 40k I am all in.

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The AdMech are asexual though. They want to replace penises with 8 mechanical arms for welding purposes.

[–] buckykat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you telling me that welding with 8 mechanical arms isn't a sexual experience?

We only see Doc Oc in his lab when Spidey shows up, otherwise that’s a lot of alone time with his own hands…and tentacles

Where do i sign up for my new cyborg body?

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

She's got a solid case, that part-human part-machine goal totally checks out with...Star trek.

That fictional TV show star trek.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I thought it was on feminism to destroy gender norms. Like yeah most of us are militant feminists, but we can’t do this shit on our own

Join the glorious evolution.
I play league :(

[–] shadowscale@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

i will join this glorious evolution

i also play league :(

[–] AssPennies@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Man, I guess the old GOP fallback bogeymen weren't scary enough to their base, they had to go fabricate this shit. What a bunch of FUD.

Id really wanna see one of her rallies in person if I could shoot lasers from my eyes
