What will it mean to be human when the computer-brain interface has zero or near zero latency? Is this the same human as today? I don't it.
That doesn’t follow, as the first people who will use such an interface will be disabled people who will do so to be human... normal.
And the next group of people? Technology that is used to bring the disabled to the level of the average will be used by the average to be geniuses. And the geniuses? What about the tech that helps the crippled walk? Would it stay at just that level?
Really? Its not the same thing. First You install the technology and then they have do the work 10,000 hours minimum... probably 20,000...
You are saying it's impossible for a technology to bridge the gap that practice or expertise work through.
Yes, i think we know that it takes enormous time and effort to be skilled... given you stated ‘genuis’ its a given that it is the result of work...
10000 hour thing is bunk (as in Gladwell). But again the whole purpose of technology is increased efficiency.
That the 10,000 hours is an arbitrary value, is clear from the original work it comes from, it is however true.
increased efficency is not the point of technology and automation is this society...
Also I think we need to talk about what ‘extinction’ actually means in these contexts. There is an unbroken line between Australopithecus and us. Is Lucy and her kin extinct? Yes. But had there been continuity from that species to ours? Yes. I’m interested in the con/discon set
are you proposing then that extinction can only mean no living descendents of a newly evolved species? Rather than Homo Sapiens evolving into a new species...
No. My example of Lucy shows that extinction with continuity is possible. But so is discontinuity. The T-Rex went extinct, with no descendants. I’m just wondering what camp people are in. Total extinction as discontinuous annihilation, or evolutionary continuity into novelty.
thanks that is clearer, i thought that was what you meant. but wasnt sure before
It’s humanity next - so, yes, I see continuity not total subsumption. Is it the same kind of human as today’s meat bags? No. But it CAN include evolutionary continuity of a certain structure of care viz. sentience, which is my interest. Also you never answered my questions.
