Fascinated with Lea Skapetze

Today I'm talking about THE most fascinating topic ever - uploading a human mind. How this should function and what a world of so-called "Emulated Minds" could look like - this is what I'm talking about today. I have first read about this in the following book:

 https://www.amazon.com/Age-Em-Work-Robots-Earth/dp/0198817827/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 

It is called "The Age of Em" by Robin Hanson. He has put an enourmos amount of work into it and the quality and richness of details is a prove for this. 

Even though I call myself a radical optimist, I also talk about some critical questions that have been posed concerning the emulation of minds. I have found them in the following article:

Though, there are technologies that have the potential to disrupt the entire travel industry, such as Virtual Reality for example. VR gives you the possibility do discover some place without having to actually go there - this is not only convenient but also very, very cheap compared to the amount of money people spend on travelling in a lifetime. But what can we expect from VR as a potential substitute of real life travelling? Is the society of 2019 ready for the kind of travelling without leaving the house?

Siri and Alexa are technologies we couldn't imagine our world to be without - but eigth years ago, in 2011, the people could equally not imagine how a world largely impacted by voice technologies would look like. I have found a super interesting article of a man predicting how utterly important Siri and Co. will be in the near future. In this episode, we will look at his predictions together and to what extent they became reality...
