  1. Come to think of it, this type of scenario already played out in the recent DEUS EX (Mankind Divided & Human Rev) games. Plenty of people had wireless chips in their head. The inventor could then cause enormous harm. This needs serious regulatory oversight. I agree that interfacing with AI is a mistake. You are basically plugging into the very threat you are trying to avoid. Seems to make no sense. <--This is the type of potential bias I was talking about. Considering that AI is already being open sourced and developed by multiple companies, as long as its continuously democratized then AI itself could remain benign. The issue is that all of us have to keep a close eye and put a hard stop to any AI that could pose a threat.
  2. Going based off of this video Simply need further clarification. Not risk-averse in this case, simply want to know what cable to get. If it doesn't work then fine, but I must try.
  3. Specs (I linked to it for you) i7 3.9Ghz Quad Core 16gb Ram 256gb SSD Drive 2TB SATA Drive Old GPU is a Radeon 5900x, New GPU I'm adding is a Geforce 2060.
  4. As for accelerated income, youtube can teach you any method of income generation at any level you want for the most part. Yes there's a lot of crap videos but there are a lot of very very good ones too. Pick a category & income level and type it in, you'll get answers. Just costs time & patience. Eventually we will all own friendly robots of some kind (roomba is an example) that help make aspects of our day & work lives easier. AI Virtual Assistants already exist for instance.
  5. Why? There are videos on youtube of people doing this successfully. It came with an upgraded video card and I'm simply bumping it up further.
  6. Greetings All. Upgrading Office PC to Geforce GTX 2060. I've been a long time PC builder & gamer. Looking to upgrade an office PC. I'm starting with an HP EliteDesk 8200 on Amazon (A remarkably cheap tower with solid specs) Aside from the video card its actually a very respectable machine spec-wise and can run some games. I'm trying to choose the correct cable to plug the new PSU into the motherboard. The default psu comes with only a 4pin motherboard cable. I'm adding an Thermaltake 600watt PSU (very nice) + Asus Geforce 2060 GTX 6gb. Vid Card & PSU fit, but the PSU-to-motherboard main cable does not. How do I find a 24 pin to 4 pin cable to plug into a main motherboard? Tried using the spare PCIE power cable on the PSU but the machine will not power on. I ordered this cable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DHW315H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Will it fit? (Yes I also do plan to buy new dedicated gaming rig also).
  7. Heh its a lot of deep ground to cover in a short post. LoL. I see your point about research and that's very interesting what you mentioned about edison. I concede that I did not know that. Pretty cool, if a bit morbid, idea. You are right there is a change it doesn't go as planned, there are countless possibilities with the brain. Reminds me of how kurzweil thought he could reduce the brain into "bytes" and publically stated he thinks the human brain carries no more data than microsoft word but that didn't pan out nor turn out to be true either (He is not a Psychologist, just a general genius). Obviously things are more complex than that (again, ask any PhD Psychologist). Back to Elon, I have a bit more confidence in his ability to succeed. Trouble is he's an athiest, even if a friendly one, and there are problems with that. If you see people as only meat suits you're getting only half the picture (yet again, psychology...). Research is very useful so overall I agree with you. But, just like AI itself, its better to catch problems way early than to wait for them to be mass-adopted and create a mess. Look at Facebook and Social Media as a whole; it connected people but destroyed their privacy and ruined relationships, even entire countries in fact, because the people who built it were just nerds. Irony since Elon is in the business of preventing problems of the future, yet with Neuralink in particular he may be creating a whole new one. Reminds me of Dr Malcolm in Jurassic Park 2 "We won't make the same mistakes, we're making whole new ones". IF the research leads to medical breakthroughs with ethical oversight, then I'm all for it. If it leads to a runaway situation where people are lining up in a frenzy like the latest iphones to jack into the matrix and find out OOPS THIS IS COOL AT FIRST BUT NOW KINDA SUCKS then not so much. Being intelligent is not the same as being ethical, and having good intentions is not the same as being fully competent and aware of all of the variables. It can be easy to discount the knowledge required to fulfill a personal bias or goal.
  8. Hegelian Dialect. Its a solution looking for a problem. We could actually try to control and prevent an AI apocalypse (elon is doing open AI anyways). Additionally what few people have said about the runaway AI or AI in general (which is the argument for the use of neuralink) is "Why Bother?" If it makes us more successful but less happy, why do it? Self defeating technology makes no sense. Medical use only, at best. This is the matrix en writ but worse because its wireless. Once its in, you can't unplug. Ban it or heavily regulate it. Income disparity is the least of our worries because there are other technologies that can accelerate income that people can use. Anyone who is willing to put in the time can learn. Also evictions are currently banned legislatively so housing isn't the problem as much anymore.... So as long as you have a pc and access to wifi and youtube, you can pick up any skill and that is right now. We haven't fully explored human potential from a psychological and spiritual standpoint. So its lazy to just think you can plug in a chip and be good to go. Also, potential for abuse is unthinkable. Elon is not your savior. Cars, Solar panels, renewable energy, and space travel? 1000000x awesome. This? No. No one is coming to save you. YOU save you by choosing to and cooperating with others.
  9. Thanks for the answers guys. Will definitely use what you mentioned. I have a new ROSEWILL ARC 750watt psu at the moment. I dont see it listed on the psu tier. Good enough? https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-arc-750-continuous-750w-at-40-celsius-degrees/p/N82E16817182294
  10. Greetings all. System builder for many years. Attempting to calculate the wattage for a new gaming build. I have a ryzen 5 2600 and an MSI Geforce 1660 Super (one, no sli) 1 SSD 1 7200rpm HD Asus B450 Tomahawk motherboard. I purchased a 750watt psu to go with it. When I googled the parts, The wattage says 450watts and 370watts just for the video card and cpu. Yet when I used the cooler master watt calculator recommended by linus in his wattage video, the numbers are much lower. When I use MSI's power calculator I get different numbers entirely. This puts me well over spec. Currently have a Rosewill 750watt psu but have not hooked up yet. Machine not yet built. Don't want to risk shorting out. Do I need an upgrade? Attached pics for the results I get from these conflicting calculators.
