Yeah. It's still experimental

But imagine the consequences

I dont think the consequences would be that impressive to be honest

This is a bit of guesswork, but it seems like the read/write would be quite shit

In terms of speed

Which limits the application to long term storage

Which is great

But not what affects most of us in daily life

I think the idea was as this relates to history.

Yeah, in regards to that perhaps

Another thing that I'm looking forward to is neuralink

I don't think it's that world-changing either. If only because there's already approaches to the almost the same outcome.

Incremental change as oppsed to revolutionary.

Neuralink sounds like the future of the human race

But maybe I'm too optimistic

Honestly having something implanted into my head that can interface with a computer makes me really uncomfortable

/Really/ uncomfortable

I'm not so bothered by the idea of interfacing with a neural interface.

I'm more bothered by what it could imply other people could do or what technologies needed to make it happen might enable.

Give me read access and I can gain write access.

It's more the physical implanting into my head

And that's terrifying IMO

that makes me uncomfortable

then interfacing with anything

Yea that's the thing. On one hand it means incredible progress
On the other hand it means a person with enough power can control you

It doesn't even have to be direct control. It's more like foolproof manipulation.

Yea, it's still control

Yeah. That scares me to no end. But there's probably no stopping it. And it's coming.

The core technologies appear to already be here. It's the science more than anything at this point.

Would you guys say yes to the memory devices in black mirror?

I forgot what they were used for. I could use a memory implant, but I can see obvious potential issues.

Ever seen Ghost in the Shell?

I haven't yet

You should. The original 1995 movie is a classic.

Yea, I was considering the manga

I'll watch the movie soon though

LMFAO

Acting as if the FBI are in the interest of American Justice anymore

We cyberpunk now lads

Oh hell yes

what about changing the DNA of an adult though?

if its in their best interest?

Probably alot more difficult

Is it even possible?

Easier to do it to a baby when its just an ovu,

I don't think so.

I believe that CRISPR/Cas9 method has been proven to work on modifying DNA?

basically you do what virusses do, and chunk away a part of the DNA strand and replace it with the one you wanna implement,

but i meant ethics-wise

I'm just trying to think how you would rewrite essentially every cell in the body without killing the patient.

Things that are OK in the UK - Genetically engineering your children

Embryos are doable because their small and not completely dependent on functional systems for stuff like eating.

So is feeding them hormones to change their gender

Things that are illegal in the UK - taking your baby go overseas to get experimental treatments

-to try and save its life

i got a better one Blackhawk 😉

Things that are OK in the UK - Genetically engineering your children

Things taht are NOT OK in the UK - Calling an anonimous person a faggy cumstain on twitter

*reported.

The internet police are onto you, good sir.

Hope you have an active Jail loicense.

i don't live in the UK

You can't harm me! 😄

That's what you think.

Watch out for the black helicopters.

hey guys! the communist party just mailed me a coupon for a free helicopter ride 😄 zomg

Lmfao

Jesus Tim made the most accurate metaphor about the sjw movement

It's an autoimmune disorder

interesting comparison

It's so perfect

When there was racism, social justice activist did a good job of fighting against it

But now that's there's no racism at the same level, they still keep fighting

Attacking things like comedy and entertainment

And even basic manners

Bunch of dragon slayers and they out of dragons

So they accuse people of being dragons

To remain relevent

nah, i think its more comparable to cancer

It will grow if you don't cure it soon,
And then metastasise to OTHER parts of your body (society/games/movies/comics)
And grow there too

and Ultimately it wants to reach government (brain) and you'll die

unless you take chemo (dank memes 😂 )

I have no idea what a social justice government would look like

*points at the DNC*

I think mussolini talked about it in one of his speeches, but im not sure he implemented those ideas or that his definition applies today

nah I doubt even SJW's truely appreciate the point of Social Justice,

They just use it to justify their monsterous actions by making it sound morally justified

Eh

It really depends on the group and person

@Blackhawk342 Sweden

They literally call themselves a feminist government

They paid a woman 30000 SDK to go to France and put on a burkha

That feels like something that they didnt do, at least without context

Though im really leaning towards 'that never happened'

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38956212

Tried to google it, this is all i got

@Scarlet here, Swedish but translate will help https://argblattetalar.blogspot.com/2017/02/skattepengar-till-kriminalitet-utomlands.html

It was 100000 sdk, not 30000 sorry

Oh, and it was a city

City government, not federal

Seems like it was some kind of protest move

in regards to frances ban

They're spending tax dollars on useless art projects

While their elderly are suffering

It's a city government

These guys arent really connected to the federal government of sweden
