Our Slave Future

Video Transcript:

You're working to build an interface to the brain. Yeah. Electrode to neuron interface at a micr level. Okay, when is it? Like a plug in my head that's gonna fit into a hard drive like our hot-touch network. Yeah, yeah. A chip at a bunch of tiny wires. This would be in planet search or code. And it would do what could you input? Could you download Jim? Mm-hmm. Yes. You're all we'll have implants and remissure your brainwaves. And I can immediately tell you how the people react to your answers. It's a sensor. That tiny green thing in there. That tiny green thing in there. You put it underneath your skin. And what that tells you is that their chemical reactions going on inside the body. And that signal means you're gonna have symptoms tomorrow. Wow. There's a natural transmitter in that. Yeah, it's like a check engine life. When you enhance the brain, when you make the human body full of sensors, these sensors are capable of collecting data. Data, right? It's what we're mining, it's what we're creating, it's what we're finding new insights around. That's the gold mine that's being used by data scientists and AI. Big Tech collects your contact information, your location, ads that you click on, websites you visit, and your search queries. But what do they do with that information? You are the product. You are the people that Facebook wants to show ads to. Their customers are the ad companies. The companies that want to put really relevant ads in front of your eyes so that you're more likely to click on them. To do this, it primes the pump by feeding you articles tailored to reinforce your body imaginations. Then, when it observes a decrease in your self-confidence, it pushes talking and advertising at you to grab you while you're at a lower. The social networking site gets its advertising revenue, its client sells lots of diet products, and you end up feeling bad about yourself. Think about this. If I know what makes you tick as an individual, and I'm then able to generate patterns of how you as an individual relate to, or similar to, or different from other individuals, I may be able to then generate information that allows me to interact with you on ways that are more meaningful to our level of interaction. In other words, the more I know about what makes you tick, the more my interactions can be geared with you to make you tick the way I want you to. The way I want you to. If the project first dreamed up by the military to get information from the battlefield, they call it smart dust, and the new technology may soon make it possible to keep track of anything anywhere, including you. Smart dust originated with darker back in the 90s. This powder-sized chip is something called the Mew chip from Hitachi. It's the smallest commercially available RFID system in the world. You can literally statter this stuff like dust, or embed it into a sheet of paper. It doesn't require a battery. Flex of computing power, settling on your skin, ingested, monitoring you inside and out. The other particles are designed to go under the radar of the immune system, and so they are undetected in the body. We have computing everywhere, we have connectivity everywhere, we have infrastructure that can compute those with new capabilities like AI. If you have enough data and you have enough computing power, you can understand people better than they understand themselves, and then you can manipulate them in ways which were previously impossible. Transhumanism is a growing movement that aims to use technology to modify our bodies, sometimes in radical ways to make them stronger, faster, and better.
