IDK why someone downvoted you.

Anyways, what we are talking about here is elective surgery. By then it is likely we will have stuff like brain implants that act as memory banks. Where everything you see or hear will be recorded. Like a blackbox in your head.

Like you mention we are really really early in this. As far as my understanding, those who get this surgery today only can see basic shapes. Even ear implants it's early as many run into major problems with them and many finds it helps in no way. Where it can even hurt the person physically. Right now the field is far from user friendly.

But the writing is on the wall

​

It isn't a matter of if but when.

They been approved? Like it takes normally 10 years to get approved to make sure there is no lasting problems.

>Trustlessness costs loads of energy and is impossible.

You obviously don't know what trustless means.

If you're saying crypto in general cost loads of energy. It's actually far far far less than the normal banking system. Look at how much energy Visa alone uses. Seriously think about this for 5 seconds. You never hear about media bitching about how much energy the banks use, you never even hear it come up in normal media. But how much energy do they use to just stay alive and do what they do? How much energy does it cost just to send money to someone overseas?

To send money to another country it might have to go through 15 countries and several weeks even if you're sending money to a country in walking distance. And each location takes a massive fee with it.

​

If you're using the mining bit. Most are staking, but even if all were mining. It uses far less energy than Christmas lights in the USA alone. Lights that are just meant for cosmetic, that are only around for a month or less, and it's only looking at 1 country vs a world wide crypto mining. But... you don't hear anyone bitching about how much energy Christmas lights use. Keep in mind a ton of energy your power plant makes is wasted to prevent blackouts. That wasted energy in some locations goes to crypto mining and ramps up or down based on the electric company. Some electric companies even mine to help with this.

​

>Also talking trustlessness in a world built on trust is making a fool of yourself. We gain from trusting each other.

Trustless means the system works even without trust. I don't need to trust you to do the right thing, and you don't need to trust me to do the right thing. No trust is needed.

​

>There is no AI systems which need to autonomously take out loans and there will be solutions by the time such systems emerge.

I just told you this system exist in crypto. An AI/software ran company is called a DAO. That stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization.

We have a ton of them. One of the major plus of a DAO is it cuts out the corruption from the upper staff and the management of a company. Some pay full salaries with real $ to employees. Hiring accountants, graphic artist, and so on. Their boss is an AI.

​

>At least by sending money with traditional systems I don't have to care whether the transaction finishes or my clown token dives in value.

We don't worry about transactions finishing. Stable coins are pegged to the $. 1 coin = $1.

>Also there are already solutions bypassing standard bank transfers which remove the costs associated.

The average person that transfers fiat to another country loses over 15% of the value due to fees and other things. It could take a few weeks.

Crypto can be near instant. And some like Nano has 0 transfer fees.

​

>Edit: should have checked earlier OP is CC regular.

And?

​

>Explains detachment from reality.

During this you proven your knowledge starts and ends with old propaganda. That you do 0 research in something.

​

Did you know most gov are working on their own CBDC. This is to include the USA. Basically after a given point you won't be able to use or get physical money, and all of it is going to be on the blockchain. Some countries already are pushing out there CBDC.

​

Now here is my question for you. Why do you care? Like why are you getting pissed? Why are you taking it so personal?

Nothing you do will change what will or has happened. So why care enough to get pissed over a technology to the point you want to slander it without doing an ounce of research.

>It's like crypto - you could use it but existing solutions are objectively better.

Send money to someone overseas. Look at how much you waste doing it other methods.

There is actual uses crypto is solving. Like trustless verification system. Trustless logistic systems. And so on.

In fact a big example is software in crypto can take out loans. Like you have software that runs companies. It can take out loans with DeFi. But with CeFi (what is used outside of crypto) software can't take out loans. So outside of crypto you can't have an AI that runs a company and take out loans no matter how advance the AI is.

Chances are AR contacts will happen in 5 years, where robot eyes in 10 or 20 years. Keep in mind robot eyes will most likely require medical approval, brain implants, and so on.

And chances are by the time we get robot eyes we will have a brain bank implant. Where it stores all our day to day. Everything we see, hear, etc and we can recall it in an instant.

Ya this is assuming all that is good. Like to just OK an implant I think it will take a good 10 years of study before it is marked as safe. Maybe more.

I think getting a doctor to OK it even after might be hard. But I think as it becomes more of a normal thing it might not be as hard. Like look at boob implants as an example. It had an uphill battle, and even if you want it the doctors that gave it was far and few between. But after it became popular it became where you didn't need to travel halfway across the country to get to a doctor to do it.

>I think AR implants/contact lenses are at least 20 years away.

I think what will happen between then and now is more AR stuff being used in our day to day life. Like instead of buying monitors we will have AR glasses. Mix it up with newer wireless power tech that is coming out, and in theory power won't be a problem.

​

Like at the rate of things AR glasses could be a 1 stop shop where you get your TV, monitors, and so on.

But with this you can physically take it on and off. So when a shop or whatever doesn't want you to record stuff. You can simply remove them. We seen this with the V1 Google glasses.

​

>The recording aspect is interesting, although that could be ripe for abuse i.e. hacking personal videos and/or creep shots.

I doubt it will be hacked. Like look at all the security cameras, your phone/tablet/webcam, and so on. The fact is we have far more chances of this now than ever.

​

Like you will have creep shots. I can see a mod someone might get is where they make their fingers into cameras. This letting them see and take pictures/videos of things they shouldn't.

But if anything, I worry more about how cops freak out when they see you are recording them when they are trying to interact with you. And they get pissed, threaten, and even attack if you even tell them this is the only evidence you can show in court if they try to go nuts and lie (which seems to happen often). That or cops forcing you through some warrant or whatever to give up all your recordings in your head to them.

​

But I even more worry about if I have eye implants. Since they could be and most likely are constantly recording. Even more if I have horrible memory and I have an implant to help with this. How will that work in places that flat out don't want me to have a camera. Like will I just not be allowed to work a top secret job? Would I be ban automatically from any movie chain? And so on.

Like with our current laws and system. I could see simply having an eye implant means you won't be able to work in most places since they might be worried you might be playing with your AR at work, you are recording things you shouldn't, and so on. Like I can see Walmart keeping you from working there because if you use their bathroom, then problems could happen.
