A neuromorphic supercomputer called DeepSouth will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, which is on par with the estimated number of operations in the human brain

    I reject it entirely. People can’t get over what shape their genitals are. There’s no goddamn way we can trust anyone to be in charge of an entire emulated being, even with a large staff of people fretting over every detail with checks and balances in place.

    If I say I wanna die(and I do) I get an army of people telling me how stupid and wrong I am. “It gets better.” No it doesn’t. You wanna know why they reject my desire to die? It’s because what they want from me matters more than ethics to them. I’m not granted personal agency as an actual living being. How can we trust anyone when it’s “just a machine” and there’s power dynamics at hand? Political image leads people to keep downs syndrome people who self harm alive while they pretend for the camera that they’re providing a healthy fulfilling life for them.

    Nobody is ready for this.

      Literally no one can stop you from killing yourself. You don’t require approval from anyone. I’m not sure why this makes you so angry.

      I tell people not to kill themselves because I am a former suicidal person who doesn’t want people to make a choice they cannot undo, not because I want anything from them. If you’re totally sold, it’s trivially easy to end your own life.

      I’ll disagree with you, sure, but that’s rather a moot point.

        I’m Pretty sure they’re speaking hypothetically, as if they were the artificial brain.

        No it’s not. Success rate is shit even at the highest rates.

          That’s intentional, not because of difficulty achieving success

              I’m not wrong. Women fail at suicide more than men because they generally mean it less, and often use things like pills. Men use guns more than women.

              It is trivially easy to kill yourself, and it’s nonsense to argue against that.

      Being able to chose your form and synthetically modify your body doesnt really change your ability to choose to keep living or not

        What part of that has literally anything to do with what I said?
