As we have touched on before there is, currently, only two types of processors available to us.
1) Biological brains
2) Artificial brains, currently silicon based. (Computers)
Now I don’t believe we should be using biological brains for anything at all. They may be better in many respects to computers but they have many weaknesses. Evolution has given them the capability of not just processing but learning and adaptation. It is not unknown for pathways in the brain to adjust and adapt to injury thus restoring capability lost. In addition as we have touched on before programming is problematic with brains interpreting events differently and therefore results may differ between two seemingly identically programmed units.
As you are aware from previous posts I’m of the opinion that we should keep away from this area, certainly with higher brain power intended for AI work, but in my view all areas.
If however you were going down that path and working on brain tissue it seems we may have a way to actually programme each brain in exactly the same way. Like a DVD is written to by lasers we have biological brains also being written to by lasers.
It’s the start in what could be a step towards providing education and allowing us to ‘live’ events from the past for starters. It could also be used for simple biological processing units with simple programming and functionality. All positive things.
So why was it that my first thought was governments reprogramming murderers and violent criminals including kiddie fiddlers? After all who can object to this humane treatment rather than executing them or cutting bits off? OK with that then. After a while it becomes acceptable and we move on to programming dissidents for objecting against the EU then on to dumbing down people who object to the way this planet seems to be taking massive steps backward. Making sure everyone is indoctrinated with the true gospel of global warming. All hail Al Gore.
This one frightens me. I’m hoping this one doesn’t go too well.
