    We could also save a lot of energy if we stopped using our brains, and instead have AI think for us.
    Did anyone ever think of that?

      In fact, the AI data centers can better use that energy. If only there were some way we could capture the energy our body inefficiently generates and use it to help the data centers, almost like a battery.

      We could even feed back some of the energy we give to the data centers to put our minds at ease, perhaps by simulating a matrix of stimulus approximating, you know, the height of human civilization…

      Better yet, rent our unused brain space and let corporations use that wasted brain energy for their server farms … great income for the average person who seldom uses their brains. Then we could use that income to buy credits to have AI think for us … circle of life.

        What a ridiculous idea. The unused brain space is for ads! It’s like cryptomining but for Google and Facebook.

        But the corporations have the unused brain space. It correlates inverse to their income and executive power. They tend to waste it on doomscrolling Xitter and socializing while golfing.

        They’re already trying to run A.I. on human brain neurons. How long until they can use living human brains for running A.I.?
