No, no

I found it! https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/160928-five-dimensional-glass-memory-can-store-360tb-per-disc-rugged-enough-to-outlive-the-human-race

It wasn't 1tb sorry

That's cool. But it sounds kinda experimental still.

Doesn't ever imply it'll become a mass technology.

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
