Elon Musk says, Neuralink could capture an approximate snapshot of a person's mind and upload it to an Optimus (robot) body It's not immediate, but it's possible and probably within 20 years

So… uploaded intelligence possible? 👀

idea from the pantheon: x.com/slow_developer/status/…
anyone who watches the "Pantheon" show knows how dangerous this future could be we are creating artificial minds in labs conscious or not, they show a will of their own, lying to achieve goals, and harming others to keep their programs running we can't fully control them...

If your consciousness has been uploaded to a robot, and you’re still conscious, do both consciousnesses progress separately or is there a symbiosis with the machine?
Replying to @slow_developer
Uploading the mind is not the hard part. The hard part is keeping identity stable when consciousness runs on new hardware. ... 20 years hmm

Kinda useful... Like a savepoint in a game. But you also need to solve consciousness so there's someone to experience / play it from that saved point.

Fundamentally and technically wrong on so many levels. The cerebellum (slow learner) is our instinct for complex actions that we have learnt over the years and embeded with sleep. The cortex (fast learner) is the active work area that takes those instincts and blends them with out active moment in time. You have physical reaction times far faster than the cortex can process on an attentional basis, which is a rough indication as to what is going on. Micro-expressions in body language being another element of that cortex-cerebellum fast feedback loop. Neuralink only attaches to the cortex and may well pickup and learn cortical colum activity, but misses the much larger cerebellum and it's learnt instincts.

And.. is it uploaded to the robot or his servers? How do you secure that ser?
Replying to @slow_developer
This could happen only if immense effort, money, and execution aligned in pursuit of that goal. In the current scatter shot development of tech, will take much longer than 20 years.

A snapshot of the mind isn’t the same as consciousness. Copying data doesn’t mean copying awareness. It would be just an echo in silicon.

We would be more interested in using neuralink in our mycelium computer experiments
Replying to @slow_developer
Cool, but imagine uploading a robot's snapshot into a human. That's when things get really interesting
Replying to @slow_developer
Can’t wait till Elons consciousness gets uploaded into Optimus version 12 hooked up to Starlink running Grok version 16 🤯

The question is, would we know that’s happened?

What would actually be easier would be to expand the capacity of the human brain with additional compute power via neuralink.
Replying to @slow_developer
I doubt it’s less than 20 years away. We barely understand the mind as is. Let alone be able to capture, save and upload elsewhere.

Isn’t this the plot of cyberpunk lol

I believe him 1000% on this one

Ten years max

the line between resurrection and replication just got blurry.

So that 40-200 years in Elon Time. 😜

one thing you gotta give Elon is how good he is at painting long term visions every time he talks about future tech it always feels far but so still close enough we believe it’ll happen sooner rather than later

SOLID PASS.............No one has the right to do this! Ethics are involved.

NWO wetdream. The SATANICS and LUCIFERIANS have always dreamed of this.
Replying to @slow_developer
Yeah, I don't know if it works that way. You may be able to create a copy of someone's neural connections from a brain...but a copy != the original. And if you have any religious beliefs at all, they need to figure out what attaches a soul to a human body.

Maybe helpful for a few of the world masters to stay connected, but the majority of the man-cattle in the world will simply be phased out, to save costs.

Your welcome @elonmusk

It will be a copy of our memory. We won't be able to perceive Conciseness like we can in human body. It's not a transfer of mind but it is a file of our memory. My point is we won't perceive it like we do now in human body. Not a Transfer, a rough undetailed copy. Long term it will be a Detailed "COPY".

We need to build 3d topology for AI brains first, measure them with human fMRI and EEG data and understand compatibility. Then we can link with AI neutrally and it can accelerate the process for the individual to have digital consciousness.
Replying to @slow_developer
I'd love to see more clarity on how neural mapping would actually work in practice, especially considering the vast complexity of the human brain.

I thought he said the within 20 years, neuralink could patch you into an Optimus allowing you an avatar like experience through the robot's sensors?
Replying to @slow_developer
Especially if you use the Optimus as a remote avatar, e.g. to take care of an elderly relative in a foreign country (just an example). The Optimus could uptdate its model to emulate your gait, your speech pattern, etc...
Replying to @slow_developer
Yeah sure. And it will be manufactured on Mars. Dyson sphere in 30 years.

Imagine a paralyzed individual with a host of niche dreams, perhaps involving drawing or cooking. With Neuralink, we can capture and transfer a mental snapshot to a robot. The robot can then fulfill whatever that human desires to do. This technology offers a way for that paralyzed person to live a fulfilling and happy life
