Humans could one day engage in “consensual telepathy.” what about NON-consensual telepathy, I have not seen a complex program yet that can't be hacked or subverted.

Based on what ? No one knows at this point, as this is possibly the most unknown unknown of all, so although "everything can and will be hacked" it is for now speculation: in the article the very people working on and around Neuralink say that it will be more voluntary action like speech.choff wrote:It would probably be impossible for blocking content, literally, everyone hooked up to the machine would be exposed to the entire life's memories of everybody else, and what they're thinking.

One better: it is all because dems/reps allowed (whatever) to happen. Of course it's not because the electorate is a whiny little bitch sitting on its hands instead of waking up and smelling the "singularity" roses, because when have modern world electorate not regressed back to not giving a shit once they have it easy?williatw wrote:hanelyp wrote:Non-consentual telepathy would be a form of felony assault, unless performed by an authorized government agent investigating a crime against the State or performing rehabilitation.![]()
How reassuring...what type of "rehabilitation" would require the gov to have unfettered 24/7 ability to read my every thought (eventually) &/or feed me whatever "information" they wish?
It will be one thing to get it to work in the first place, and another thing entirely to figure out how to block it once it does. You can't just block the one memory, you have to anticipate and block every other adjacent memory that relates to it. Otherwise the other person can figure out what you don't want them to access.Betruger wrote:Based on what ?

It is definitely a wait a see thing, if only because the potentials are gigantic. I reckon many of today's basically harmless technologically enabled risks would have the same reaction from people decades and centuries ago. And as the premise argues: the alternative to not trying is ruling ourselves out of an AI landscape.
TAMPA, Florida — Here’s how Mad Max the situation in Iraq is right now. Earlier this year, the military put out an urgent request for inexpensive kamikaze drones that special operations troops could fire from handheld bazooka-like launchers against ISIS, according to documents obtained by Defense One. It’s another sign that drone warfare is changing far faster than traditional military equipping can keep up, a fact reinforced this week by leaders with U.S. Special Operations Command, or SOCOM.
In its Joint Urgent Operational Needs Statement, SOCOM requested 325 “Miniature Aerial Missile Systems,” or LMAMS, by summer. That delivery has already been completed. AeroVironment officials confirmed to Defense One that they recently delivered about 350 Switchblades, a tube-launched drones outfitted with cameras and cursor-on-target GPS navigation. The company bills the device as a “miniature flying lethal missile can be operated manually or autonomously.” It can fly for about 15 minutes, at up to 100 miles per hour. The Pentagon put a similar request for Switchblades back in 2013.
The China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) claims to have set a new record for the number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying in a swarm, the state-owned Xinhua news agency quoted the corporation as saying.
The 11 June news report states that the swarm comprised 119 UAVs, breaking CETC's previous record swarm of 67 UAVs. Xinhua did not mention when or where the event took place.
The size of the mini UAV swarm is greater than that trialled by the US Air Force in October 2016 when three Boeing F/A-18 Hornets deployed a swarm of 103 Perdix micro UAVs, which the US Department of Defense noted was one of the world's largest micro UAV swarms to date.
It is a fully robotic weaponry system to an airborne platform. TIKAD, which is a proprietary development of Duke, uses the delivery of a unique suppression firing and stabilization solution. The TIKAD allows us to utilize completely new capabilities against terrorist groups and reduce the number of deployed ground troops, and therefore, the number of casualties. Instead of sending our troops to investigate a potentially dangerous location, the TIKAD can be deployed while the troops control it remotely.
