is transhumanism the most logical outcome for society? IMO the

>>2865360
I think we should embrace it; however, I do not support AI or uploading your consciousness into a fucking computer. As technology progresses, I'm certain there will be a huge debate over it.

>>2865434
Personally I'd be cool with uploading myself into a computer and becoming immortal, under the condition that the me I am now is the same me that's in the computer. But then again, there's no way to guarantee that.

>>2865434
There's nothing inherently wrong with this new technology or transhumanism itself. I think its a double edged sword and it can used for that purpose. I am hoping we will have a huge debate as you said in the future. Yet at the same time, I would not support this technology if this meant turning the society into some twisted dystopia. If this degenerated into something out of Brave New World or as you said if AI was controlling our consciousness, this could become a nightmare.

>>2865434
I would ever only upload my consciousness into a computer only if that computer and cloud were fully under my control. I would totally be down for technological paradise but the least what I need is some entity taking over the cloud and fucking with my consciousness although a collective consciousness does sound fun

>>2865467
As to the uploaded consciousness I'm simple against it because I rather have a physical body.
>>2865468
Agreed. Most debates will focus whether the technology will be harmful/dangerous, and the reaction (opposition) towards it. The whole idea of what makes truly someone human will become a huge debate.

>>2865497
Is it not allowable to become a cyborg? Your entire body at that point would be the computer you upload yourself into, no?

>>2865490
That might be complicated, and terrifying. The possibility that someon might just fuck up you consciousness is truly frightening, especially if there is no way to protect yourself other than maybe some software.

Jesus, guys, we aren't living in a cliche Young Adult's book series.

It'll be totally fine.

>>2865511
I always imagined the whole brain-upload thing as just cutting and pasting my brain into an empty HDD in some cyborg body, not necessarily a computer network itself.

>>2865506
True. In that case I guess I would have no problem, since at least I would be able to protect myself with my "body"
Body augmentations is what interests me the most anyway, and cognitive, perhaps the latter would be the most effective by fusing with a computer. Hard to say, most of it is speculation at this point

>>2865467
You're already immortal but this material universe is mortal.

Of course

We will also have legitimate and serious rights of robotic individuals within 30 years

The future is coming

>>2865530
So? I think 10 trillion years is enough time for my vidya backlog.

I don't think so. You people need to stop watching Ted talks.

You Robotfags are retarded. Trans-Geneticism is the true path

>>2865596
But genetical manipulation is also included in the spectrum of transhumanist methods.

Anthropic principal.

The reason the Germans lost WW2 was because it would lead to an agrarian society which would just die when an asteroid struck in the next few thousand years.

The reasons the Soviets collapsed was because its system of economy couldn't support the technological growth to create an AI.

The reason why we live in Capitalism is that it will build an AI that will survive the next earth destructing event.

>>2865606
I mean i think in the long term it would be better to have genetical modifications but from what i see now we are realistically more close to having technological body parts.

I'm on the only planet that's ever made art, so I'm good. Space has nothing for me.

If any other planet ever made art, it's unlikely we'll run into it, and I don't give a shit about some retarded protist we might stumble upon on Andromeda 4564.

>inb4 muh cool starships
The apple aesthetic sucks COCKS

>>2865732
Truly a convincing argument. Humanity has always gazed the stars due to their beauty and mystery. You may not be amazed my a protist, but these are indications of the possibility of life on the universe, thus art/culture which appears to be of high importance to you.

>>2865467
My main problem with uploading myself to a computer is that it wouldn't have emotions, or I don't think it would. I can prove to myself that carbon based chemical brains can feel emotion, because I'm feeling them right now, but I can't prove that silicon robots have emotions. If they don't, then it would just be a simulation of me living in cyber paradise, and not actually me.

Unless it has anime, I don't care. You can go off on a faggy colony ship all you like; I'll stay here with porn and anime and my super-Genetically enhanced Pillar-Man body
