So /th/, why havn't you gotten a diy augment yet?

What is even the benefit of this, and what the hell do you do when the batteries run out?

>>4This particular mod seems to be more of a proof of concept than anything else. Knowing your body temperature and receiving alerts for body temp change is indeed quite useless right now, but knowing that it's possible to insert beneficial technology into your body in this day and age is a powerful insight.

>>6I'd wager it's because a diy guy doesnt have the tools to make microchips, and I also wager that there is no way he could pay anyone to do a legitimate surgical procedure and live to tell the tale.

>>7https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/bioengineering/implantable-sensors-make-medical-implants-smarterHere's a way to do it in a safe, sanitary way that doesn't look like something out of an American McGee game.
If you can actually see something as simple as an implanted heartbeat and temperature monitor, something's gone terribly wrong.

Yeah, let me just start chopping off fingers and replacing them with laser pointers. That's transhumanism, right?

>>18But that shit is not diy. I do think that diy stuff can be made if one is willing to dole out upwards of 2000 for a 3d printer that can print semiconductive material for use in electronics

>>18Its great that researchers are progressing, but DIY means you can actually get it. Having to go through the medical industry means its going to cost 100x more, and you have to convince some judgemental doctor that you deserve to have it. You can talk about safety and aesthetics, but all that means is you're going to get it later than many other people.

Im not completely retarded to put something like that under my skin

>>9It's more of a proof of concept but that doesn't change the fact that it's retarded proof of concept.. give me a thousand dollars and I could insert your body full of small sensors capable of doing the same and more than that massive monstrosity without need for stitches..

There is no reason why sugery of any kind should be nessesary…
There are non-invacive interfaces that manage quite well.
The key to everything is inteligent assistants like google glass, Siri or Cortana… in the end if we can get artifical inteligece to really work these tools can begin to learn and adapt to us…
in time they can be like a 3rd brain lobe…
You see each lobe has a unique personality.. id disconected they can act independently… but the merge togeter into a gestalt mind…
The key is effortless instinctive communication…
with enught metrics and learning software these things will imporve and mold round us over years…
In time maybe death will only be crypling brain damage as our inteligent assistant are part of us…
Maybe they can be merged together… run in ansestral server crypts all marged as a gestalt mind with lots of life experience and knowledge…
Maybe future generations of intelligent assistants will tap into these..
When someone dies its like a library of life experience and knowledge burning up.. but technology captures more and more of our lives…
Death can never be dispelled but the absoluteness of it can be mitigated to some degree..
I like to think of religion as sci-fi… i.e something you can draw inspiration from…
The idea of a immortal soul is something we might soon be able to implement in a way…
Or at least psudo-immortal…
Gods too could be something like a massive gestalt mind of any of these assistants…
Like a internet given life..
I think of it a bit like a animated Zeitgeist… (spirit of the age) ever shifting… in a way its alive.. but to big to talk too… yet.
So thus I herald the coming of the Machine god :p
It's virtually inevitable!
