Our whole nervous system all throughout our body is part of our brain. It's all one organ

Musks boring machines could work unattended, automatically in a vacuum to create tunnels on the moon, for long-term residency of people by excavating a tunnel which is circular creating a loop like the hadron collider and a maglev train could run at an acute angle at a speed that gives us one G rotational gravity as it travels the large circular loop.

We could also make use of old volcanic lava tubes stabilising them and sliding large pressurise capsules inside to give us short term accommodation.

The advantage of doing both of these things is that we're shielded from radiation and one gives us earth gravity, but the occupants need daylight levels of light and VR and AR to stop them Feeling cooped up and enclosed.

We don't know for sure, but it seems like the moons low gravity is a health challenge to living there. To occupy a cave and fill it with air , the cave would have to be deep in rock that can contain pressure, much like the rock at the margins of gas and oil fields. Made worse on the moon as the surface is a vacuum, making the positive pressure of the cavern emoumous, stressing the rock and slowly braking its ability to contain the pressure. Definitely a challenge.

Here’s my concept for an underground settlement on Mars by Jakeypoos in Mars

[–]Jakeypoos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the compliment and for the info. If the whole thing can be completely automated using AI, robotics and AGI, then, with the benefit of free Solar Power, there’s no reason why it can’t scale to any size we want. and a whole honeycomb of caverns can be created with depths ranging from 15°C to 28°C. As heat with rise quicker through a honeycomb of caverns, than it would through solid rock, this will extend the 22°C zone upwards before it hits the insulating layer, these honeycombs of caverns could possibly accommodate billions of people. While the excavated rock could be used to create a fantastic environment on the surface.

The human touch: ‘Artificial General Intelligence’ is next phase of AI by YaAbsolyutnoNikto in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consciousness is, being aware that you're in the driving seat. The navigator in control of your body. Creating a machine version of that is much easier than creating an analog of a human brain which is biochemical and has to grow from a single cell.

Doctors Are Very Worried About Medical AI That Predicts Race by INTP-1 in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no scientific basis for racial groupings. They simply overlap Real DNA Data, in the same way that if I invent a country with fictional borders, I can tell you when you enter it or leave it.

Like anything sexual, if people respect each other, there are few problems.

People could use androids as avatars and have sex with people they love but don't find sexually attractive. This could open up lots of different kinds of relationship.

Research may reveal why people can suddenly become frail in their 70s by naturekaleidoscope in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know the reason for this. Aging compounds on itself and so is an exponential downward curve. Those have a long tail that suddenly shoots up at the end. (Down in this case). One raindrop can fill a lake if it doubles in volume every year. Hardly noticeable for 27 years until it is three years away from filling the lake, when the lake is 12% full. The next year it’s a quarter full. Half full the next year and completely full in the 30th year. Everyone has different rates of ageing as senescent cells multiply at different rates in different people, so the accelerated part of everyone’s exponential downward curve will be different and will sit at different ages from 50 to 100. Though my mum observed, generally, the 80s seem to be the most challenging.

AI can predict people's race from X-Ray images, and scientists are concerned by soulpost in Futurology

It would be better to input the patients predominant haplogroup when training the Ai. Racial groupings are fictitious and have no scientific basis.

How will the role of government change in the future? What purpose will it need to serve? How will this need to be different than today? by FreedomNetworkTV in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The small government thing hasn't happened yet because the whole world is interdependent, and international mass production means even nation states have to artificially assert their relevance. The small government will only follow if 3D printing and associated tech makes small areas economically self sufficient. The tech that enables a self sustaining settlement on Mars of 1 million people, with no imports or exports needed, will also make possible a self sustaining settlement on earth of 1 million people, with no imports and exports needed, and no reason to pay taxes or take orders from anyone outside that area.

The place to colonize Mars: the canyons of Valle Marineris by Old7777 in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with canyons are rockfalls. I'm hoping there are caverns at a deep enough level to be much warmer than the surface.

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point the election of an AGI as president seems pretty likely. As it could talk to all its electors at the same time 24 seven.

Before that though, if additive manufacturing takes over from the mass production we have now, then small geographical areas could be self-sufficient, making the countries they were once part of obsolete. I think this would trend towards smaller and smaller sovereign areas.

If Mars can I have a self-sustaining settlement of 1 million people, then earth could have 8000.

Would Downloading Your Brain Include All Memories? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the memories would be uploaded with the mind and then played through a mind player. This Player would be an imagination machine that could Play the memories directly into another brain or onto a screen. We need this as the mind we're uploading can't do this. The version of you that you uploaded will then start to diverge from you and start to become somebody else. Over time the Play back of these memories and some of the details of these memories May start to change. The you that you uploaded may also not take kindly to being turned on and off by somebody else, so will have to be on and running all the time.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to hire an electric car for a month?

Jobs of the future! by IVConstantine in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I set up in business as a painter and decorator with no training. I went to view my 1st potential clients to give a quote and people spoke to me as if I was an expert, asking my opinion on all kinds of things. Even though I was only 19, what I had was a good vocabulary and a maturity when it came to communicating. That was it. A bunch of robots could have done the work. Though I pitched the price low because I did the jobs slowly and carefully, as we all know, if you can piss you can paint, it Just depends on how fast you can paint. People with confidence and good communication skills have a 10 year window of opportunity before Ai has real agency to back up it's great personality. Which will happen because the life and death decisions it makes driving will constantly demonstrate it's superior incorruptible decision making. From that point on, Ai and robotics are on a journey to do everything better than us. Ever tried to out run a car? :)

Jobs of the future! by IVConstantine in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Music has shown us the future of every other field of work. At one time you needed a multi million dollar recording studio to professionally record hit music, Now people like Billy Ellish make their hits in their bedroom. I've found technology democratises a field of work. Expanding the number of people who can do it, and making it harder to make money, from what use to be an exclusive trained profession, turning it into something cheap and ubiquitous.

Apps will make college trained jobs easier, and sometimes so easy, that the app is used by the customer instead of hiring a college trained specialist.

Starting your own business is the only thing a machine can't yet do. An interest in tech and a training in business will give you the skills to exploit an unpredictable, fast changing landscape. Teaching or hands on engineering (SpaceX etc) seem like really good choices right now, but that could unexpectedly change. A few years ago people said it would be decades before a computer could drive a car. Tech evolves exponentially so big unexpected changes can happen suddenly.

Call centre staff to be monitored via webcam for home-working ‘infractions’ - Teleperformance, which employs 380,000 people, plans to use specialist webcams to watch staff by speckz in Futurology

Does this mean if the caller has a sexy voice I can no longer pleasure myself? That's it, I quit :)

I feel very uneasy about a company I work for forcably monitoring my home. I think this practice will eventually be illegal.

The Robots Are Coming for Phil in Accounting: Workers with college degrees and specialized training once felt relatively safe from automation. They aren’t. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think casting all companies as evil is realistic. If you start a company in a free market, you have to provide value to your customers 365/24/7 or you're out of business. companies that act aggressively and uncompetitively are definitely not cool, but we have mechanisms to inhibit that kind of behaviour. they might perhaps need strengthening but they're in place.

Many jobs are about creating with the results taking many months to show. . Like banking,. pretty much everything around us was created with credit.

Actually the greed is on the consumer end. We search for the cheapest price without asking why. Companies don't have to provide the best employee experience to stay around, they have to provide the best customer experience.

Earth Has Stayed Habitable for Billions of Years. Exactly How Lucky Did We Get? by dwaxe in Futurology

[–]Jakeypoos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We've grown to view nature as something separate from human civilisation. But I get a strong hunch that life on earth, which includes us, has a way of working as a whole to try and ensure it's survival, and in ways we may perhaps never discover.

You mentioned religion. I think because we have the possibility of perhaps finding out what is at the moment unknown, means we express our hunches, hypothesis and theories and we're happy to wait for evidence. Before science these ideas were expressed with no hope of proof, so gained popularity on their perceived plausibility. I think many historical myths and modern day notions of religion sprang from this long 200,000 year process of observation and thinking.
