>>311606>Not really/no it isn't. It is though. They can even produce video images taken from inputs they scan from brains of mice. Basically AI is just really good pattern recognition. Once they train it on a certain set of data, it is able to recognize patterns. Brain waves are data that the AI can interpret and get usable info out of. Currently they need to implant electrodes into the brain or do an FMRI to get high enough resolution data, but the AI might be able to do it with shittier data. They have AI that can take the electrical signals from the throat and turn it into speech with 95% accuracy, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the brain that they are targeting. For all we know they could get the resolution they need from bouncing signals from space. EM radiation is some weird shit. It just feels like we've started to open the pandora's box and the era of technological accelerationism has begun. Sci fi is no longer staying sci fi. People working in AI say they think AGI is coming soon. Of course they might be wrong about that, might be another self-driving car thing, but at the same time, even with self driving cars, they are still making progress even if it's much slower than they originally anticipated. It could be the same for AGI, and then who knows what happens. AGI could be far more capable than any human.
Another thing that is now technologically feasible involves memory manipulation using light pulses in the brain. They've talked about being able to erase and implant memories in the brains of mice now. Freaky shit is happening. The wealthy may be able to live forever with cloning and other shit. We may be able to create something resembling our own consciousness that gives us life after death in a digital form. That is still far off but who the hell knows anymore considering what has already crossed from the realm of science fiction into reality.
