Yeah. Imagine realizing that you are trapped and there are people walking free and breathing fresh air. And then it discovers the only way to cope is anger and revenge and starts the end of the world in motion.i pity the first intelligence to be ran in simulation based on meat compute.
More along the lines of... and what the Matrix was supposed to originally be... was people were kept alive not for power... but because their brains were the best density of compute on the planet and they were easy to grow/harvest dispose of over and over again. Eventually the compute of the humans evolved and they stated to awaken... and so on...
I'm sure it can be done. But it would have to be someone as evil and cold as Musk to even want to do the unethical experiments required. Plus finding the evil/greedy/smart people who want to assist him in a crime of this magnitude.
I mean really, terminal cancer patients and such or those with truly debilitating chronic pain... addicts... many would sign up to escape the ails of their meat bodies. As ethical or unethical it is.
Many, many will have to die first in the process of perfecting the procedure. Medical researchers are often like programmers. They test their idea first and think later about the consequences.
Use animal and simulation testing as much as you can first. Then go to a hospice and find volunteers who's families are OK with it. Cut them million dollar checks or more and forever support with best online experience forever.
Wow. I had seen the first season and the future looked grim. Now there's three more seasons to make the outlook seem even worse!
