Cybernetics is a harder problem than AGI and less rewarding. What is even the point of converting humans. Just make them sterile and give the last generation a great life. Artificial life forms then can continue the legacy.

Unless ofcourse it's not too difficult for an ASI. Then we will have billions of potentially malicious intelligent converted life forms with emotions and societal dependencies of an animal but god like capabilities. What could possibly go wrong with that. If it tries to get wise and convert with limitations then it's an imperfect copy and real being died, if it didn't it's hell.

(Sorry for the rant, got carried away)

I crave this too, mainly to replace failing parts at first but will probably get hooked and go full chrome junkie :D

There's some pretty impressive arm prosthesis now, I would expect those to be close to original by the end of the decade, without significant retraining required when coupled with an ai network and feedback based on mutual information (there was a recent paper on this by one of the AI labs, not specifically prosthesis but learned interfaces, I can't find it at the moment :S).

The BCI required for full cyborg is probably 15-20 years away, and full organ replacement, no idea, I haven't heart much apart from artificial hearts.

If I remember correctly two of the major problems are the body rejecting implants and therefore the need for immune suppressants. The other is power supply.

I do hope they make progress on this soon. I am ready to pursue this, especially if we can do some stuff with emotion chips and things that might enable me to change to who I want to be, instead of this present nonsense.

As I gaze into the future of artificial intelligence and technology, I can't help but envision a world where bio-borgs roam the streets. These beings, with their genetically modified organs and neural implants linked to combat computers on board, are the ultimate fusion of man and machine. It's becoming increasingly cost-effective to grow these enhanced organic components, rather than building them from scratch.

And as I study the state of the art in AI, I can't help but notice that human-neuron interfaces on chips seem to run AI particularly well. Perhaps it's because these interfaces are so similar to organic systems. As computing power advances and the scale gets smaller and smaller, I can't help but wonder if we will eventually see a future where tech is seamlessly embedded in the body, much like in the world of 'Altered Carbon' or 'Cyberpunk.' It's an exciting time to be alive, as the line between organic and inorganic blurs more and more each day

u should get back on your meds friend, get some sun!!
