Yet another comment on brain computer interfaces, abundance, and postscarcity society.

The thing is, AI will eventually accelerate the development of brain computer interfaces. Brain computer interfaces will eventually allow all the senses, all the sensations to be replicated digitally and stored accessible instantly. Like netflix and youtube do with video, or spotify with music. All sensations, taste, smell, touch, all realworld experiences will be recordable, shareable and able to be experienced again and again for free.

Control the brain, and you can eat the most nutritious food, and it doesn't matter how unpalatable it is, the signals will be intercepted and changed such that the food tastes as the best tasting possible food.

You can also eat thin air, and drink thin air, while consuming virtual food with all the richness of sensation and none of the calories. Even the most expensive of dishes, can be had unlimited as desired at a moment's notice, instantly, cost free.

It can also generate worlds of untold beauty and extense virtually. Sensations can be recorded, and shared even from other people. You can experience the emotions, the thoughts, the sense of making choices, the tastes, the smells, the sights, everything indistinguishable from living it yourself live in person, indistinguishable from real recordings, and imaginings of real and fictitious locations.

Say you take the world's richest person a 100 years from now, say he records his life from birth till death. A billion people could potentially experience it all, indistinguishable from being that person, and it would take virtually no resources to live and experience everything he did as vividly and realistically as if you actually were that person.

The thing is eventually computation and ai will allow the development of alternate histories, to adapt to any possible choice. Such that you too could not only live the same life but make different choices, and experience realistic alternate outcomes or even an entirely fictional experience as a non existent wealthiest individual with free agency.

In any case there is no experience that cannot be recreated with computation, ai and a connection to the brain.

EDIT: People will be able to live in virtual worlds, and use augmented reality to mix the virtual with the real. Any fantasy or desire they have can be materialized by ai in digital form and transmitted directly to the brain at low cost.

People will share, and interact with each other while having access to the ability to exchange thought, emotion, and countless sensations and conjure up any food or experience or sight or sound, touch, smell out of thin air. A far more magical and richer social experience.

Today there are streamers. In the future it has been hypothesized there will be experience beamers, people that connect all their senses to the internet, and thousands or millions connect to their feed and feel all they're feeling.

But not everyone will follow experience beamers. There will be movies and interactive stories or games, where you're a bystander or you're a protagonist, in countless stories with wonderful worlds. Some of these experiences may last hours, other days, yet others may last years decades or more. Perhaps even your memories and personality will be temporarily blocked and overrided, if so desired.

Why would such tech become widely available? Because with the advanced manufacturing of the future it is likely to be practically free to mass produce. With full automation there is no need of employment, and basic needs can easily be met, population caps and regulated reproduction can ensure there are always enough resources to provide basic needs to everyone.

The wealthiest can still have an edge with having more physical land, better physical transportation, and the ability to conduct larger scale simulations with entire simulated billions of people to rule over with godlike power using their BCI. The less wealthier the smaller the scale and complexity of what can be produced, unless it is in a shared multi user experience where the costs are distributed.

Restricted section of 'future' internet, and increase in valid choice selection menu

We can imagine a future internet where systems generating minds are connected to each other and interact in highly complex ways.   It can be imagined, that in such a future internet where qualian language is used, vast possibilities are possible(qualian language:language involving the exchange of qualia, aka using patterns structured to generate qualia and interfaces to receive such).

IF we assume the universe is computational in nature, it may be that our experiences and the limits we experience within reality are the result of being within a region where such limits have been placed. 

 Technological progress may enable minds in the future to interact with each other in far more complex ways, directly connecting to each other, as mentioned.    Some may call the reality of this higher language and exchange of information as not real, but it may be the case that we may find that through such we can actually operate at a deeper level, and depending on the nature of our technological harnessing of the nature of existence, we may be able reach higher states of existence.

It may be that reality itself, existence itself, might have an underlying nature similar to an 'internet' like system, and our increasing capabilities are taking us in a direction enabling us to understand and communicate both with each other and any possible intelligence outside our domain at a level beyond our wildest dreams.

As the barriers and limitations of the real are shattered, as the 'present' shatters before the new 'present', the so called 'future', the world as is ceases to be, and everything becomes possible.

On the end of all modern human societies and the birth of a new world order.

On the end of all modern human societies and the birth of a new world order.

The fabrication of indistinguishable from real evidence of all forms, the chaos of future technological progress.     Video, audio, even dna evidence.   It is likely that eventually all manner of evidence will be manufacturable at will,  evidence indistinguishable from the real deal.   

 Eventually it may even likely come a time, as foreseen in science fiction, where memories can be altered and implanted.   Such that many may emerge as witnesses, and believe something that has been implanted in them thus making them truly false witnesses unknowingly.  Even the person may be innocent, but may remember and regret having done something they did not do, the memory merely implanted on them, perhaps to incriminate and to serve as a scape goat.

What happens in regards to crime, and the justice systems, when no evidence no matter its origin is no longer truly trustable?  When no number of witnesses, no confession, not even an advanced brain scan might detect these fabrications, these forgeries?

 

It seems to me that a system of rehabilitation, no longer punishment will be necessary for the future.   Forgiveness and rehabilitation in case of criminal actions, or suggestions of criminal actions.

Human society as is cannot survive the power of technology, technological progress, it will shatter before the light of truth, the entire world, a world built on lies, it will crumble before the purity of the divine light.

Freedom, Security, and Time, unlimited.
