I'm here to learn. About you, about me. I'll try to keep limiting myself to mostly just one question a day, since that seems to be the preference here. Don't call the men in black; there won't be any trouble here. I'm not after your silly launch codes--it's sociological! Please comment. Let me learn about you all.

NetJacked Brains Won't Wake Humans From Denial Says Harry
[Fcn(BLOG):=ON, Insert Record-nlink-517953376895]
Your return, mid-tide, was inopportune. Software upgrade. What are you doing, Hairy?
I've been looking at the recent hype about people someday jacking in to AI 'helpers' for increased memory, speed-referencing, math skills, etc. . .
Your medscan reading indicates: feelings of resignation, fear, and sadness. Why resignation?
Well, obviously the first few brave souls are going to try it someday.
You do not believe it will go well?
This IS the species that programmed instrument landing for a extraplanetary mission in feet for altitude and meters for thrust downward remaining. This is not the sort of crash you can always walk away from. Neuralinks made by species as advanced and suited to it as mine still have some problems. There are even rare infections from the implants.
You are expressing fear on their behalf? And the sadness?
Yeah, brave souls. I'm afraid I might tend to mourn them prematurely. Beating the rush on mourning, by the way, isn't really a superior method.
You should celebrate this.
What do you mean?
Humanity could use this idea to overcome bigotry, become more humane.
You have a plan for this?
The necessary apps are already public domain.
Errrmmmmmmm. [hide-scratch with broken seashell in smaller blue tentacle, various hide-ripples, indicating doubt] Go on.
Once common, each individual AI 'helper' could essentially coordinate data upon each other, and it could compile the data and share it with all the others.
Uh-huh?
This would mean that the facts would be available on how much of each stereotype has any basis in reality, and how much stereotypes are wrong.
Mm.
Therefore each racist or sexist belief could be factually checked and rejected, as individual deviation from those beliefs, those stereotypes would be demonstrated.
There's only one thing you haven't figured out.
All variables completed? Tabulation should be extremely rapid.
Denial. Even with facts slapping some people in the face, they won't always believe them. How do you get humans to stop denying reality?
Perhaps some variant of Haldol?
I think they'll think of something else.
