Technology wise, how far away are we from cybernetically enhancing

>>61083615
I'd say prosthetic limbs are a primitive form of cybernetic enhancements
if you're thinking of Cortana-style enhancements....

hmmm...
shit
it'd definitely be nice to have an actual second voice to talk to
not all these strange whispers in my head

>>61083615
Forty years at minimum to get fully integrated cybernetics.
Just a wild guess. I have no supporting evidence.

>Technology wise, how far away are we from cybernetically enhancing ourselves?
0 days since it is already being done.

>>61084414
yeah but how long until it looks nice and we have brain enhancing techno magic?

I just want cybernetic eyes my niggas. Fuck shitty vision.

>>61083615
>Is genetic modification a more likely scenario?
Not if Apple wants to ban genemods in favor of iEye

>>61084414
There is also a disabled woman with a direct neural interface chip that allows her to control a robot arm.

Gene modification is already pretty doable.

Fluid cybernetics(those that function the same way your arm does in terms of communication) are very, very far away.

>very, very far away.
this isn't the 90s anymore
the super rich already have access to this shit.
stay pleb poorclass citizen

not like they need it anyway, they just cut off some poor persons limb then have it transplanted onto them anyway

We're closer to uploading our consciousnesses into computers to live forever.
People don't understand that the future isn't AI robots... It's robots with human brains.

>>61083615
Technology wise the future is now for bionics, do keep in mind most libs attempt to mimic real limbs and not improve on their function so there's that.

Genetic modification is also a real thing it's just not a big deal because it's unethical and can only be done on eggs.

They will start injecting implants to read your thoughts.

Human modification is degeneracy.

Funny you should say that did you know every time we breathe in there's a 30% chance we get cancer?

>>61087046
So you and me have cancer already? Jee, what should I do?

>>61087065
Replace all tissue with metal.

>trusting the functionality of your limbs to closed source hardware and software with NSA backdoors
sounds dystopian as fuck, I'm glad I won't be alive to see this shit go down

>>61087121
You don't have to.
Open Bionics is a thing.

>>61087149
>Open Bionics is a thing.
No it isn't, nigger.

>>61087215
It's even a company nigger.

>>61087230
>a bunch of shitty 3D cad files means that in the future, advanced bionics, the result of billions of dollars of R&D from dozens of companies, are going to be open-source
you're delusional nigger

one need only look at the state of current computers to see that

>>61087258
Shit cellphones have enough power to interpret nervous endings and actuate motors with mili seconds of difference between never impulses.

What's your point? Artificial limbs have been a thing for dozens of years now, Bionics have been in market for +10 Years.

The one who's delusional here is you.

Would it actually be you though, or simply a copy of you?

>>61087296
I'm not talking about shitty current bionics made for amputees, I'm talking about ones made for the enhancement of the human body, ones that people will get their healthy existing limbs chopped off for.

>this cell phone power meme
Cell phones give off non-ionizing radiation, fuck off with this stupid shit.

>>61087329
Then what are you doing near a computer?
You should go live in Green Bank, West Virginia if you don't want to suffer the evils of "non-ionizing radiation" because you're on a fucking computer that emits much more radiation then your phone.

>>61083615
Go ask Lepht Anonym and Kevin Warwick.

>>61083615
The main issue now, even with organics, is that your body will try to reject anything you put in it. Anti-rejection drugs destroy your immune system. Even titanium bits and pieces are rated for only so many years before failure is inevitable.

These are facts the medical community must deal with every day. I don't need to ask two quacks that insert rfid tags then proclaim cyborgs are here.

You are actually being replaced by an nearly identical copy of you evertime you pass from one moment to another
Memory is what creates sense of continuity
Even if you "switched" consciousness with someone right now, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference because there is no difference, consciousness is all one
What differs is the content, which depends on your physical brain

Don't kid yourself. Just like eugenics before them, cybernetics and genetic modification will be deemed racist and hateful and banned by every government worldwide.

>>61087857
Only western governments give two shits about racism

>>61087793
This. When you go to sleep and then wake up, is it still you? or just a copy of you who has your memories? How would be able to tell?

The truth is there is no actual "you", the feeling of self is an illusion.

Thanks for the existential crisis near-miss before work

The body only exists to verify the existence of oneself.
