you can feel your brain melting watching this video about "The Prison Of The Future" youtu.be/YFUv4_lCBLY?...

The Prison of the Future - Cognifyyoutu.be Introducing Cognify, the prison of the future. This facility is designed to treat criminals like patients. Instead of spending years in an actual prison cell, prisoners could finish their sentence here in just a few minutes. Cognify could someday create and implant artificial memories directly into the prisoner’s brain. It could offer a new approach to criminal rehabilitation, transforming how society deals with offenders by focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment. #Science #Technology #Research #NeuroScience #psychology Follow me everywhere: https://muse.io/hashemalghaili

tech guys understand literally anything about the human experience challenge 2024

difficulty level: completely impossible

Someone has seen one too many DS9 episodes (and missed the point of this one).

Hard Time (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

Miles O'Brien is famously the most abused character in all of Trek, and THIS AND ONLY THIS IS WHAT DROVE HIM TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE, GAHHHHHH.

Somehow the Torment Nexus Bros always miss the point of their favorite episodes

we created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci fi movie, Demolition Man (1993)

also, just fucken, www.nytimes.com/2024/06/05/u...

Former Wisconsin Prison Warden and Employees Charged in Inmate Deathswww.nytimes.com Inmates had complained about a monthslong lockdown that cut them off from family members and timely medical care.

You dont become fabulously wealthy by having a sense of humanity or compassion, generally

Brilliant people should aspired to greater goals than making money.

These people are usually not very brilliant

Oh absolutely!

I mean, they are basically scamming people out of money because this is all dreamed up bullshit tech so the only people they will be hurting are people sadistic and guillable enough to invest in this.

m.imdb.com/title/tt0667... recreating tv horror?

"The Outer Limits" The Sentence (TV Episode 1996) ⭐ 7.9 | Drama, Fantasy, Horrorm.imdb.com 45m | TV-PG

youtu.be/3XUfMNxeDVM This is a good episode. Linking in case anyone wants to watch it and didn't feel like searching for a way.

The Sentenceyoutu.be Inventor Dr. Jack Henson (David Hyde Pierce) comes up with a "virtual prison" where criminals serve a life sentence in just a few, cost-efficient hours. When an innocent man's life is at stake, the doctor must submit himself to his own invention.

Putting aside the philosophical or esoteric nature of consciousness, they don't even understand that we don't understand how memories are formed.

Putting aside even THAT, they obviously don't understand how current prisons make money, and how completely impossible it is going to be to get their stuff in use literally *anywhere* even if they could make it work (which they won't).

If this is real, it seems calculated to attract money from the type of VCs that are AI-positive and allegedly backing Trump. Maybe they're developing a Theranos-style grift for those people.

It isn’t, turns out. (I mean it was never gonna be real in the first place, but it’s doubly not real)

like they’re either aliens or robots. what is happening

This is complete bullshit - leaving aside everything psychological and ethical, it's insanely beyond our technical capabilities in so many ways, no reason to think we'll get there soon. I assume it's one of: • a gag • a grift on idiot VCs • meant to be viral marketing for a video game or movie

Essentially the first, it's a fictional film done without much context, presumably to help make it go viral.

Every time one of these Zoomer crypto weirdos has their first “BRO! What if the solar system was just an atom in a giant’s thumbnail?” moment, it’s so cute.

These guys think that if they decide the universe is a simulation then they’ll suddenly be able to jump from one skyscraper roof to another or defeat an army of FBI agents in kung-fu. In reality, even if the universe is a simulation, you’re still just Woodcutter #61 in AoE and you gotta cut wood.

"What if it's not the Sun but just a giant incinerator?"

This shit is literally not even technically feasible anytime soon but fucking PE bros and pump-and-dump startups are going to end up lobbying for legislation to make implanting Neurolink chips mandatory [ at great expense to taxpayers and with terrible consequences to the victims ]

1/ This is a bullshit story. Excluding the ethical [shudder] issues this is some pseudo press release and fantasy video put out by someone looking for money. The stories from all the sources on the web look pretty much the same, meaning he wrote them and the sites are regurgitating them.

They know they describe the very beginning of every tech bro start up ever *right there*, right? RIGHT??

I bet the advertising team was absolutely stoked to be given this treatment. "So you're saying this ad can sell something that doesn't exist at all? We can just say it might someday happen and then make any claim we want?" Easiest job on the planet lol

WELL THAT MISTAKES THE FUNCTION OF THE PRISON SYSTEM ENTIRELY AAAA

sorry i am very angry!!!

why are they all so hunky and naked this is just like chinese bondage semen factory jordan peterson tried to warn us all about

Those prisoners are weirdly buff, making me wonder if this is some fetish thing in disguise

Was thinking something similar.

This is a profound waste of free labor. No government would ever.

I always wanted to write a dystopian novel but it’s hard to out-dystopian the tech bros at this point…

Is that supposed to be a prison or a clone factory?

Thankfully, this nightmare will never come to pass, as the existing nightmare of the carceral state absolutely doesn't want to "reduce the amount of time in prisons".

facts: there's a youtube video on how to extract the implants with a bic lighter. 10% of any implants end up being smoked when cigarettes are in short supply. i have implanted memories depicting how bad crime is. after my crimes, i muse on the irony while counting my cash.

They got me at "AI driven analysis could enhance the device's functionality" 👌

This is not the Onion?

The onion incepted us all in 2016 and it’s been nothing but onion ever since.

This is just before the chest-burster xenomorph comes out, right?

this feels like a stealth dystopian sci fi film campaign.

This whole company is obviously making shit up and selling snake oil, but also it is important for everyone to understand that it is morally good to set fire to this company's headquarters

bingo bsky.app/profile/did:...

yeah, the really good startup stuff these days is like "this will never work, but imagine how horrifying it would be if it did!"

Perhaps a fully autonomous armed drone could do it.

Yeah, like - it would be terrifying if it worked, but now I just wonder how these idiots can get people to uncritically publish shit about a technology that does not exist and doesn't work.

There's "doesn't work" like ChatGPT doesn't work and Rabbit doesn't work or whatever. But this is more like how the millennium falcon doesn't exist and doesn't work, even though someone made a youtube short about building a lego model of it.
