I’m not signing up for the beta of this

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

MSNBC is reporting on brain cells being fused with computer chips.

The Singularity is Near.

But I'm not signing up for the beta of that! Although maybe that'd be a good excuse when I go all nutty on everyone.

I give you a front-row seat on the future. Focusing most of my efforts now on next-generation augmented reality and artificial intelligence, AKA "mixed reality." SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER: http://clevermoe.com/scobleizer-news/ BUY OUR NEW BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Transformation-Robert-Scoble/dp/1539894444 "The Fourth Transformation: How augmented reality and artificial intelligence will change everything."

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  1. Hah! Although this is a funny post, you need to stop worrying about having a bad day – hell, I’ve never seen you gloat for several days after you have a good day! Let it go, and get back to doing what you do best – share Microsoft with us!

  5. The concept of “cyborg” is so prevalent in futuristic imagination that we won’t even bat an eye when creatures such as androids appear in sci-fi movies and novels. This piece of news about an attempt to fuse specks of brain into computer chips reminds us of how primitive we still are in the context of the vast technological possibilities in the future.

    Incidentally, if you don’t already know, the famed sci-fi writer, Stanislaw (“Solaris”) Lem has just passed away. Here is a report on BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4851496.stm

  15. The scary part is that the liquefied brain matter that was pored on to the silicon actually reconnected neural pathways bridging the gap across multiple chipsets. Synaptic wanderings on top of silicon talk about a logic gate.

    On another note imagine the viruses in this jacked in future… the “naked presidents” where you can’t get the naked images of Nixon and Hubert Humphrey and any number of old presidents out of your head. Then you really would go nuts 😉

  17. Philosophers of mind actually have been thinking over this scenario years ago as a thought experiment connected to the quesion if the resulting being will be conscious or not. Started with a Searle book. I’ve put some quotes for those that might be interested.

  19. Robert, a company exists which has coupled an active semiconductor device to the brain. This company is Cyberkinetics (http://www.cyberkineticsinc.com). Their BrainGate™ System is designed to provide a means for people with severe motor impairment a new method to communicate with a computer directly with their thoughts. As an investigational device, the BrainGate™ System is only offered through the clinical trial and is not commercially available. For more info, go to the site.
