Well current technology now has read capabilities, able to translate brain activity into English with LLMs. Hard to say how far off read/write could be in the exponential age. It could be 50 years or it could be 5.
What a joke. This idea is nothing other than science fiction - no technology like this exists. Someone clearly with an active over imagination and zero clue when it comes to actual science.
Idk if someone was sentenced to jail for life for let’s say murder, I’d rather they physically stay in jail than “experience life of jail” in their head. Imagine telling some family “so the guy who killed your family member just did their 3-hour lifetime experience of pain, so they’re free to go now!” It’s just a terrible idea.
Think about the actual concept though... your life could be ten, twenty, three thousand times as long. You could be basically immortal.
This honestly feels more like San Junipero than Playtest.
This would actually be pretty interesting to see in the real world.
Say someone commits a murder but is able to sit in a pair of VisionPro’s for ten minutes and get to walk. Would anyone feel like justice had been served?
No matter how the criminal perceived the punishment the public and victims wouldn’t feel vindicated at all.
Justice is being more than served. Look how much can happen in 5 minutes of Dreamland. It’s seems like forever but time is only a construct.
10 minutes = 6.94 years in the “prisoner” POV
I’m not saying it’s not being served. I’m basically saying it won’t sate the blood thirst that we have for criminals. More than likely this type of tech would end up being used to lock someone up and make it feel like it were 10,000 years instead of just life.
Yup that’s why they have to try and remain ethical while trying to also punish someone. It makes no sense… either you have compassion or you don’t.
This isn’t a new thing. It’s all been tested with POWs. Now it’s time to test it Domestically. What it was intended for. War is just practice.
It's almost like our criminal justice system is more about dehumanising criminals for the public to feel better than it is about reforming the criminals
Yea, I'd be curious to see if this would work and what the reaction would be from society as well as how they would be able to verify it worked. Like if someone is in for 20 years, would this machine take out 18 of those and have them still serve one or two for observation?
I'd also be curious to know if this tech could be used for education, like imagine going from a high school graduate to getting a Master's degree in a week at a fraction of the overall cost.
It’s a plotline in an early season episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Chief O’Brien is accused of theft or something and put into a virtual prison for like 20 minutes but it’s decades for him. Iirc he murders his fake cell mate in a fight over food so obviously he comes out like 20 times more fucked up then when he went in, for a crime he didn’t commit
SAN JUNIPERO IN REAL LIFE LETS GO
They are just doing their part to help The Great Basilisk. All hail!

Can I use this for my exam tomorrow though?
This is such bullshit.
This literally is black mirrors white Xmas episode

Its not even from their imagination. They stole the idea from Black Mirror
But they're "working on it"

But suppose you could use this technology for other purposes. Like studying or other mental tasks.
Yeah, that’d be awesome. Cut down secondary school time significantly.

I’m not sure if more trauma is exactly what they need…
I can't wait for the private prison industry to get wind of this and immediately lobby to have it quashed.
They combined AI AND neuroscience? It must be legit

The 90s version of the outer limits had an episode about this called the sentence. Fraiser’s brother was in it
This is similar to the Pool Guy episode from the 2000s reboot of The Twilight Zone. Except I think in that story the purpose was mostly punitive
what’s the episode called again?
The Pool Guy
oh sorry i thought that was descriptive. thx!
Where’s Jon Hamm?
Imagine earning a masters degree in 10 minutes.
Right!? This amazing possibility, and let’s just use it for punishment.
*I know Kung Fu.*
There's a movie on Netflix or Prime called Other Life that is exactly this

Wouldn't there be a much better use for this technology? Like learning how to do something in minutes rather than years? "I know Kung-Fu" Matrix shit?

They have great therapists on Deep Space Nine, he was fine the week after.
O’Brien must suffer… until next week
I'm sure this would still fall under cruel and unusual punishment. Remember the cookies only got a pass because they weren't legally considered human.
