kanzureallen buchanan's book is now up on nature.com "the ethics of biomedical enhancement" http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v470/n7332/full/470035a.html07:57
kanzurei'm usually not one for promoting links to anything about ethics, but i think this is an ok exception07:57
kanzureexcept that it costs money >:o07:58
JayDuggerInter-Library Loan?08:33

JayDuggerIs it just me, or do the various 3d printers have little worth beyond bootstrapping themselves to better performance and closing the self-replicating loop?09:24
Utopiahself-replicating loop?09:26
Utopiah(brat voice) are we there yet?09:26
JayDuggerDevice X can build N% of its own components.09:26
JayDuggerI imagine Freitas has a term for this in his book, kinematic self-replicating machines, but it escapes my memory.09:27
Utopiahyes I mean I understand the principle (at least I hope so) yet I think in practice I wouldn't say we are anywhere close to that but I guess it depends on your criteria09:28
JayDuggerFair enough. I wanted to hear justifications for waiting to buy one,09:29

ybitwho are the members of biocurious?10:38
ybit..outside of joseph jackson..10:38
ybitand tito10:38
ybitand eri10:38
ybitactually...10:38
ybitwell, yeah, that question still applies, but i'm curious what everyone does outside of biocurious10:39
ybiteri is Communications and Technology Officer at yale10:40
ybityale alumni10:40
ybiti'm not really sure what that entails10:41
ybitoh i see10:41
* ybit starts to ponder in his head instead of irc..10:41
kanzureybit: eri is not someone i'd associate with10:43
kanzuresee pm10:43

ThomasEgiENKI-][, that's god, as seen in serial experiments lain?11:16
ThomasEgiprotip; dont duct-tape your hair.11:17
kanzureheh html5 protein viewer http://jolecule.appspot.com/11:17
Lukas_nifty11:18
ybithttp://www.erc-assoc.org/11:27
ybitone interesting erc: http://www.synberc.org/11:27
ybiteri gentry is an advisor for synberc11:28
ybiti don't have exposures to positions like this11:29
ybitwhat do advisors and consultants do11:29
ENKI-][ThomasEgi: it's eri masami, from serial experiments lain11:30
ybitit seems like a highly unstable job11:30
ENKI-][keep in mind his backstory11:30
ENKI-][a human codemonkey in charge of implementing an IP stack makes an AI replica of himself and gives it control over traffic11:30
ENKI-][then suicides11:31
kanzureybit: they sit around and send emails to each other11:32
kanzureit's just social circlejerking11:32
ybithttp://wimserc.org/research_highlights/research_highlights.php11:32
ENKI-][and because the company he produced the IP stack for has a monopoly on devices (tachibana is basically apple in a microsoft-less world, so his code is running on everything from the dominant computing platform to phones and pdas) he controls basically the whole internet11:32
ThomasEgiin short. a god^11:34
ENKI-][only on the internet12:22
ENKI-][he got around that by inventing a wireless protocol that had the ability to use the microwave auditory effect to interface directly with people's brains12:22
ENKI-][i'm glad someone else here has seen the show, though12:23
ENKI-][i have seen it twenty three times12:23
ybiti'm guessing adam t. is adam till12:24
* ybit is stalking biocurious-people.txt12:25
ybiti'm guessing not everyone is a biocurious member12:28
ybitmost of these must have donated money to get them started12:28
ybitamazing how many are from the d.c. area12:33

AlonzoTG=\15:28
AlonzoTGCognitive dissonance:  The posthumanists insisting that I should be pro-uploading, and that there is something wrong with me for not doing it. And then my co-worker telling me that I should wipe out the portion of my mind that I keep in my computer just because I'm experiencing some minor glitches.15:29
Lukas_Hullo15:29
kanzureAlonzoTG: you're the only insisting that others are insisting they upload you-or-else15:30
AlonzoTGNo.15:30
AlonzoTGI have proof.15:31
AlonzoTGAlmost all discussion of the future on exi-chat assumes that the earth and everything I've ever cared about in my entire life, or is within my emotional capacity to care, has been wiped out in favor of computronium.15:33
AlonzoTG=(15:33
kanzurenope.. is it possible that you're delusional15:33
AlonzoTGSorry, you're wrong.15:33
AlonzoTG=\15:33
kanzurehaha. extropy-chat does not believe the world has been converted into computronium15:34
AlonzoTGno, but that it will be.15:34
kanzure*shrug* it might, it's also possible that you will turn into a rooster15:34
AlonzoTGOkay, so where are the transhumanists advocating humanoid space exploration?15:36
AlonzoTG-- NAILED.15:36

Lukas_*raises hand*15:36
AlonzoTGok, good.15:37
kanzurecan you stop being so paranoid15:38
AlonzoTGThis channel seems to be a tiny island of sanity amidst the cracked pots of transhumanism. =\15:38
Lukas_Sounds about right15:39
AlonzoTGOkay, kanzure: explain Eugene Leitl.15:39
kanzurewhat about him?15:40
kanzurehe sometimes hangs out in here15:40
AlonzoTGexplain his positions to me.15:40
kanzureno thanks.. you can go ask him yourself. he tends to argue with technology15:40
