Who's to say in 100+ years computers won't be able to read our brains wirelessly

1 word...

Skynet!

 

[Randomface74]

Yeah I saw this movie.

Hopefully I'll have uploaded my brain to the cloud by then!

That won't take long then?

 

[Liquiduk]

That's true

 

[Efour]

Surely the oracle knows it and the architect are just machines destined to play out the same story until the one arguably changes things.
Bs movie.

even on dialup....

 

[robfosters]

Two cups and a bit of strings’ enough for mine

Minority Report (the film) is an example of technology gone too far imo.

For those that haven't seen it, the film is based on people being arrested for crimes that they are going to commit in the future. They haven't actually committed it yet.

But that's BS impossible technology.

Just watching Altered Carbon, raises some good questions. If we can digitise the human consciousness, it opens a whole world of awesomeness and pitfalls.

Black Mirror
Ex-Machina
Altered Carbon

All good reasons to leave AI and advanced stuff alone.

At the moment it is yes, we just need to find the Precogs!

Pretty certain people would have said the same 100 years ago about mobile phones...

The bit which gets me is the ability not only to read the brain, but to write back into it. Imagine being able to artificially influence a persons personality.

Good or bad? should a person who knows deep down they have feelings of mass murder, or pedophilic tendencies be 'programmed'

Now imagine a future war where soldiers are 'improved' or a captured soldier interrogated or 'programmed' and sent back out to infiltrate.

 

[NewGamer11]

Nope, I’m still waiting for my replacement organs, integrated AI / computing and super strong bio mechanical limbs.

 

[kinobestew123]

not only to read the brain, but to write back into it

At this point, does natural intelligence become completely meaningless as you can upload the skills and knowledge that somebody needs directly and quickly? There would be no need for school or exams?

 

[SPG]

Always the negative with this subject.....

Fixing a broken leg was considered voodoo once.

Bring it on I say, load ourselves into artificial bodies and the entire universe opens up, the great distances just becomes time having enough fuel to slow down

No not even remotely close.
You are talking about manipulation of time which would infer the future is finite or that we can calculate every quantum outcome and even then somehow know which will happen, not just an extreme progression of radio technology.

Not within 100 years.
It's time to believe in God before then.

1918 wasn't the dark ages
