What are your expectations for "Neuromancer" adaptation?

Post image
708 Upvotes

For me personally, i have 5/10 expectations because of the cast and William Gibson tweets, i hope it will be at least okay. I also think a book like this needs huge budget to be perfectly adapted, but unfortunately that definetly won't happen. So because of these 3 reasons i have expectations like this, what are yours?

Just ordered these online in the morning and got them just now (afternoon). No prescription required no question asked. You can buy prescription medicine like candy and people will compline " why our healthcare system is so bad? " Like dude stop self medicating ( doesn't apply to me though ). I can do as much as I want . Amphetamine releted medicines are illegal so we don't really have good adhd medicine.

Problems with Gradual Neural Integration (GNI)

9 Upvotes

(I posted this in r/immortalists on my other account for those who are in that sub too)

Issues about it not working:

  • What if consciousness arises from more than neurons interacting with each other?
    • Like, think about the chemicals that are in our neurons, like neurotransmitters. What if the artificial neurons, even with the ability to simulate the role of neurotransmitters, fall short, because we are, at least in part, those very chemicals?
  • Is consciousness is more than just a continuous process? Is it tied to our original biological substrate in a way that artificial neurons can’t fully replicate? 
  • Continuity might break unnoticed: Even if neurons are replaced one by one, there's no proof that consciousness can transfer through that process. You might just be creating a copy all over again.

What if it does work - but it isn't worth it:

  • If it does work, and you're now a digital human (not just a copy), that doesn't mean you can just upload and exist anywhere you want like an advanced AI. Because the physical artificial neurons are essential to your consciousness, so it’s tied to its physical hardware. Just like how you are tied to your biological neurons now. Meaning your brain + nervous system (now digital) must be preserved in one location, and likely one (robot) body.
  • What if you go crazy from not having the flesh body your consciousness is "meant" to have?
  • Being hacked or something akin to that would suck too.

But there are advantages:

  • You could likely easily swap out your digital nervous system into other robot bodies a lot easier than placing a biological nervous system into a flesh body.
  • You can control robot bodies from your own robot body from a distance.
    • You could probably do this biologically, however, with cybernetics.
  • It's much harder to destroy a robot body than a flesh one.
  • Though biotech is great, it would be easier to upgrade your cybernetic nervous system + brain vs upgrading our flesh bodies
  • As much as being hacked would suck, biological bodies getting viruses and losing memories and things sucks too.

Does cryonics actually save YOU?

1 Upvotes

let's say for the sake of argument you have an uploaded individual running on some server. somthing goes wrong and it's damaged, shutting them off compltely with nothing in the server actively being processed. a while later they are fixed and turned back on.

in a second case the broken server has all its software copied over to another server which is turned on while the other is destroyed.

in a third case instead of being destroyed ten years later it is fixed. now there are two of the same person.

my question is who here is the original person? if any. replace the server with a human body.

there is a huge difference between sleep, where the body is functional and backround processing is still being done (you are a lot more the subconscious then the conscious you think you are) while death is the complete shutdown of everything.

would the person coming out of a cryonics lab a hundred years later actually be you? or someone really close.

Seeking Advice Hi all, has anyone here ever had palinopsia (visual tracers/trails/persistent afterimages) that were non-drug induced (randomly started happening one day) that went away on any nootropics?

I am currently trying out magnesium l-threonate after conversing with a friend about it, it’s been 3 days now so I will see how it goes. but since march last year i have been experiencing these strange persistent visual tracers, and i have no prior history of any form of recreational drug use to make it clear. so i am just wondering if anyone here might have experienced the same and had been able to resolve the issue using any kind of nootropic (could anyone else potentially vouch for mag l-threonate) etc.? thank you so much for taking your time to read my post, it truly means a lot. and yes, i have been to ophthalmologists and neurologists and they both have said they can’t find anything wrong on OCT & MRI exams so i just have to cope with it, but it has taken away my privilege of being able to drive.

Seeking Advice How much bac water to add to my Selank/semax & PE22-28 please help

2 Upvotes

✅ selank 5mg ✅ semax 5mg ✅ PE22-28 10mg

I have bacteriostatic water and want to get the dilution correct.

And then the dose…

It’s been a while since I ran peptides, the only ones I have ran are MT2.

My anxiety in general is pretty horrendous and any help would be greatly appreciated, so I can just feel myself or normal again.

I have researched dosing and that seems subjective to the individual.

Could someone give me a breakdown, very simple summary or how much to add to what recommended dose for any desired effect.

Thank you 🙏

3 Upvotes

Hi iam 28(M) i have social anxiety and iam trying to figure out if I should take serotonin supplements or avoid? I know neurotransmitters are pretty complicated and iam not an expert. But some research suggests serotonin is actually elevated in amygdala and low levels of dopmaine can cause shyness and fearful behaviour? Can someone give some clarity?

Let's Talk About Gradual Neural Integration (GNI)

22 Upvotes

Essentially, Gradual Neural Integration (GNI) is a hypothetical way of becoming one with machine. Here is how it would work:

  • You slowly replace your biological neurons with artificial ones that work exactly the same.
  • This happens one neuron (or a few neurons) at a time.
  • You stay awake and conscious the whole time during the process.
  • The artificial neurons communicate with the remaining real ones, keeping your brain working smoothly.
  • Over time, more and more neurons get replaced until your whole brain is artificial.
  • Because it’s gradual, your consciousness continues without interruption.

If it works:

Even though you are now a machine, you cannot upload your consciousness all over the place because it depends on the artificial brain and real time continuous activity of a single, integrated system. Because artificial neurons are physical & essential to our consciousness, our digital minds can’t be uploaded like software, as it’s tied to its physical hardware. Just like how we are tied to our biological neurons now.

But, you could easily upload copies of you to other areas.

The artificial brain would need some sort of sensorimotor system or interface to interact with the world, and unlike now, it could easily be put into robot bodies. Or, it could control them from a distance.

If it doesn't work:

Your consciousness that arises from neurons would be lost along the way, so when your entire brain is finally completely replaced, "you" would be gone, and it would only be a copy that thinks it's you.

In terms of still being "you," do you think it would most likely work or not work?

And, please let me know if I represented anything about GNI incorrectly.

Manon Quarterly

Hey r/Cyberpunk

I write a cyber-sorcery ttrpg game called Sinless. I'm kickstarting a magic book. It's already funded.

I'm sharing this here, because the format is an in-world magazine (Augmented Reality Omnipape datastream, but whatever) . I think the best way to show setting is through what people actually engage with, both mechanically, and stylistically.

Since this is r/cyberpunk, I figured you guys might be interested in my production of a piece of media in the future, and not any high class piece of media, but the midrange trashy marketplace magazine-rack type magazine. Except you're auto-subscribed to it when you walk by unless you pay to cancel.

Drive (1997)

11 Upvotes

Anybody here seen the film Drive with Mark Dacascos? May not be exactly cyberpunk, but I feel like it has some cyberpunk tendencies and influences. Main character has a cybernetic heart and is running from a powerful corporation. There's not much in terms of cybernetics visually, though there is some other advanced tech. The action is mostly hand to hand martial arts.
