RE: Elon Musk wants to enhance us as superhuman cyborgs
Since they've been working on ERASING memories an issue here comes from such an interface being able to do essentially the opposite of that. As with any tool they can be used for benevolent and malevolent purposes. If the government is involved it always eventually seems to go down the malevolent path. War and better weapons. Control and manipulate the population. How easy would it be to control the population when you can erase memories and replace them with custom designed ones.
Not a problem.
You don't have to take advantage of the new tech.
My problem is not with you and I. My problem is with other people could do with it against us against our will.
that's been the problem all along hasn't it? Starting with...oh...say...fire? It's ok for me and use fire...we're of the same tribe..but those other guys are too irresponsible..why they might set the world alight..
Oh I KNOW..we can let the government control the technology. How's that been working out for us?
Curious. Where can I find info about "erasing memories" as you say? I have speculated that this would be possible via playing certain frequencies inaudible to the human ear (perhaps through a device we all carry around and use everyday) but I haven't really researched about it.
There was a discussion about this on steemit a month or two ago.
