Or like enamel growth on teeth experts.
Or tinnitus research.
Or migraine research.
Or longevity research.
Or any other research actually.
Tbh I don't get why all these men who are as rich as god aren't pumping large portions of the fortune into longevity research. Do they not want to live forever? We finally live in a time where we are starting to see real possibilities of growing all organs, and maybe even curing memory loss due to age. And they just, don't seem worried?
And just plain longevity research, which have again and again proven to work by repairing things, and thus rejuvenating us (works in mice \TM).
My bet is that either they are drugged up and their brain are mush, or fooled that AI will do it just more money bro plz.
Well here's the thing. Rich people are kinda dumb.
That's precisely why they're pumping money into AI research. At this point mind uploading seems inevitable, but not necessarily in our lifetimes.
I think that's a long way to go before that's a possibility. The main issue been the question if how we scan a brain.
And they don't want to wait the time it will take humans to figure that out.
They didn't become rich by taking smart decisions, they took the ones that made them money. Climate crisis is what it is today because of profit maximization. Certainly, they also live in this environment. They also get microplastics in their bodies.
They are. Just not in ways that are accessible to the general public.
They can't figure out how to make themselves live forever, and as they're the richest, they think they must be the cleverest, so anything they can't think of is beyond the human mind and therefore they must create an artificial mind to solve it.
Or you know... you could make food and water and renewable energy infrastructure for the entire planet.
OR we give it all to the rich.
But those things are obviously not as important as improving our predictive text algorithms!
naaaaaah
