Never hurts to be useful, right?


> Never hurts to be useful, right?

No. Depends on the purpose.

For example, would it "hurt" to be useful to the supposed incoming AGI overlords by preparing humans with digital read/write implants in their brains?


It's a total tangent but I find people's willingness to both put computers in their bodies (even non-neural medical implants) and their bodies in computers (e.g. cars or home security systems) incredibly shocking given how user-hostile and secretive companies are with their computers. I personally won't accept either unless the thing's open-source and I've got root on it. But no matter how baffling I find this the overwhelming majority of people seem to range from indifferent to excited about these developments
