You'll rent frontal cortex space to AI processesing and be happy.

That's stupid, Total waste of resources. I use UberBrain and rent my brain and body out from 9 to 5. Sure. I wake up sore and have no idea what my body has been doing or where it was, but I get ten dollars an hour for basically going to sleep for 8 hours.

Nope, But I'm not surprised. The idea has been explored multiple times in different media.

You basically just described it. Amazing show, very much recommend watching it.

I've seen this probably a dozen times or more in cautionary scifi stories about why we don't want that, but like, somehow I still want that.

If it's open source hard and software than you better be sure im gonna get it. If it's closed source however im gonna stay faaaaaar away

Reminds me of the movie Gamer. Scary shit.

I've seen a YouTube video about it sometime ago. Seemed like a bad movie, but with a cool concept.

I actually didn't think it was that bad when I watched it. But then again, I'm not really good at figuring out when a movie is considered "bad" 😅
