are you against technologically modifying your body in order to become more productive? if no, then why not do that?

- conartist6 6mo agoWell I put a ski straight through my ulnar nerve once and a surgeon had to splice nerve lining from my wrist into my elbow. I'm also currently wearing technological augmentations on my wrists. I call them "the gloves of coding" and they help me not succumb to carpel tunnel. And yeah, I spend all my time building developer tools, which are a technological means of augmenting your brain. I just happen to focus on technology that is deterministic.
- chromoblob 6mo agowhat about directly connecting two "powerful" human learning models directly? can you do this without disrupting your determinacy dynamics?
- conartist6 6mo agoWouldn't that just be two humans having a conversation like we are now? Or beyond a conversation humans build relationships -- I do that too, and those relationships influence and guide me. I cherish them.
- chromoblob 6mo agoare your developer tools capable of implementing telepathy? enable the exact recording of sleep dreams?
- conartist6 6mo agowell I have to say that that wasn't one of my goals, though I do sometimes have ideas in my sleep and do them
- chromoblob 6mo agothere's a gigantic market. believe me
- conartist6 6mo agoPerhaps there is, but I'm not a neuroscientist and also that would be a hardware startup. I write code by hand in part because i need to do the work to know how to make good tools for doing the work.
- chromoblob 6mo agocan your developer tools exponentially increase the subjective/internal bandwidth between the participants of a conversation? if yes, how?
