So nobody's gonna talk about Valve's new cyber initiative?

It should be noted that it is not necessarily a chip in the brain. According to the video, it would be the most effective, but it is indeed kind of a questionable practice.

that's some top distopian nightmare right there
literal tought crimes

I doubt they will actually do it
the idea of implanting a chip in your head to play video games is just ridiculous because of how much it would cost just for the chip alone. No fucking way would they ever try to do it and even helmets would cost a fortune. Also a quick reminder that they are a game development company not fucking neuro science experts.
This was likely just an idea given and nothing will come of it

what a genius idea
Yeah i am certainly going to put a chip in my brain just to "enhance" video game experience.
They totally aren't going to sell and share you brain data.
Maybe the day they make some good games again shit that worth selling your brain for , i would try.

Speaking of VNN why is no one talking about how Gabe is answering emails? It seems really weird about how Yea Forums isn't having email threads where they do stuff like email Gabe with each user delivering a word at a time and stuff like that

This. Sadly they dont make any games anymore.

I am not putting that into my fucking brain. Hell no.

If their goal is to increase the amount of dopamine your brain produces when gaming why not just cut the middle man out and take a drug?

>putting chips in your brain
they want your literal thoughts, your brain patterns, ultimate control. Ultimate intrusion. Mind control.

You will submit, because you love our games. We created a system where you don't own games you purchase, only lease them in a digital environment, we called it Steam.
We controlled your gaming experience, and now we want to control your mind.
We promise we'll make Half Life 3 (*snickers*) if you (*snort*) put..heh... put our closed source invasive computer chip directly into your brain. We promise..cough.. we promise we won't sell your brain data to advertisers or government agencies.. and you will trust us, human.

For fucks sake, at no point did the video say that it is going to be a brain chip, guaranteed. The video clearly said that the brain chip would be the most efficient option, but comes with moral and implementation difficulties. Jesus christ you fuckers are dumb.

Half Life 3 could never live up to hype and expectations that everyone has about it. So the next best thing would be to make the player THINK that Half Life 3 lived up to all expectations when playing it.

It isn't about putting the chip faggot.
It is about is this any of this tech really worth it?
Tell me one game that you are ready to buy few hundred dollars headset or pay to put a ship in your brain just to have some difficulty auto balance?
Lets not pretend that this data won't be used in many ways to fuck us : selling the shit to ads company, bans because you had an evil emotion...
Yeah sure i would take all this shitty risk and costs just to enhance my dota 2 or next assassin creed "experience"

This has to be the dumbest thread I've actually ever seen in well over ten years on this board. It's straight up scary how fucking dumb you people are if you don't see the practical use of a computer-brain interface. God this is horrifying.

But it's not limited to videogames you fucking spastic cretins.

lol fuck off sand nigger

You're exaggerating but I sort of agree. It's to be expected from small-minded people, which are the majority. It will take time for a technology like this to really get widespread usage because only the next generation will grow up with it and accept it fully. It's ironic how hundreds of generations keep repeating the same things the previous generations did.

When book printing became mainstream, major thinkers of the time commented about how youth spend so much time reading that they ignore their responsibilities. Now instead of books, insert music, TV, video games, the internet and you have a major medium being pushed against by the mainstream of the time. But it always takes one full generation for something to become fully ingrained in human life. It'll be the same with the inevitable implants humans will make.

>he said on a video game board

I wouldn't jump on board with this technology in its infancy either, I'd wait a few years to see how it pans out exactly. New laws will have to be made around this chip tech but I believe technology integrated into out bodies is an inevitable part of the future, so I'm excited. I don't think masses of people will immediately go for it, but a few brave souls will and the technology will gradually prove itself to the masses. A chip in your brain won't sound so scary when it becomes the norm.

If you kill the elites someone else will just take their place

Fuck off you commie faggot. Transhumanism has nothing to do with killing the elites. A hierarchy is needed for society to function. No matter what you do, a hierarchy will re-emerge.

Sorry to say, but you're very likely to be on the side of history that will fall into the abyss. Because even if immortality becomes available during our lives, it's likely to be available only to the elites for generations. In fact, immortality will bring some absolutely huge problems for society and it's likely to be a period of great turmoil until things settle down again. I highly doubt our generation will get to benefit from this, but I'm not sure I'd like to live forever anyway.

Do I really need to say it again? I'm not going to kill myself because I know I'll die regardless. Whether it's alone on the streets with 15 needles in my veins or in a skyscraper surrounded by 5 hookers.
Yes consciousness is shit but I've got responsibilities to others to stay living. I don't think anyone can blame me if circumstances that were out of my hands conspired to help me out.

Seriously
Could you imagine if a big company like McDonalds got a hold of a tech like this? You think a lot of Americans are fat, lazy, and crazy now, imagine having send you a mental image of their food.

Gabe doesn't even need to resort to that. He already has a shit load of blind followers on Steam aka Steam drones

Like what? Let me guess, you don't wanna hurt your parents' feelings by killing yourself?

>tfw corporate hackers inject malware into my brain chip
>now whenever i cum i see an image of pizza hut's logo
>unconsciously begin to associate pizza hut with orgasmic pleasure

darn it

And how are they going to test all of this?
Are they going to have human guinea pigs?
What if someone dies testing this or during the first few official implants?
Valve is delving into some deep shit here.

Parents, family, friends. People who would generally enjoy my company or otherwise rely on me, what other answer were you expecting? Killing myself in this instance would literally be selfish, and me being too dead to give a shit wouldn't change that.

So basically you're living your life out waiting for something to kill you. That sounds like you're having a neutral time with life. If it was shit as you said you wouldn't waste time ending it. Pro-tip: make your suicide look like an accident

this is the future boys

I already told you why I won't kill myself. If you had given placed a gun in front of me a few years back I would've pulled the trigger no hesitation. Right now I've been giving myself some strong Vitamin D shots and am riding out my new positive vibes which is the reason for my new optimistic outlook on life, I think it's pretty good.

You told me that you're staying alive for your friends and family, but the reality is you're not staying alive for them, you're staying alive for the satisfaction of knowing they aren't mourning you. At the end of the day the only thing that drives people is how they themselves feel. The satisfaction in making your friends and family happy is making your life not shit. Again, if your life was truly shit you'd be gone by now.

So they raise the arousedness levels? Nice

That line of reasoning is reductive as fuck. You can make all of existence revolve around chemical balances in your brain. That's just shitty, boring and removes context. I'm not going to go into some sort pain olympics blog posting tangent here because I already made my point. Even if you live a thousand years you'll still choose to kill yourself.

>And for those of you who like science fiction, there's this great researcher at Cornell who's done a bunch of work decoding how to talk directly to your brain, sort of bypassing the front end of your optical system. In other words, she's actually just skipping the eye and talking directly into the peoples brains. Which really introduces sort of a bizarre "Snow Crash" reality way sooner than I would have guessed. So, she's solving the coding problem, [door distraction] there's the sort of the CCD front-end problem, which is kind of hard, and she's like well, that's a bitch, why don't we just skip that, figure out what the protocol is to talk to the brain. And it turns out, one of the interesting things, it's a way more compact representation of information, so, you know, that's gonna happen, that's something you guys should be thinking about, that your subjective experience of reality is probably going to be driven directly into your brain much sooner than I think most people expect. Which means you'll be playing games, and, you win!

I've been casually reminding you faggots of this inevitability for years now. And it IS an inevitability. And it IS nothing to be particularly feared - depending on the very specific details. Valve very visibly struggling with Cultural Marxism infection at the same time they're actually going public with their work is extremely troubling. The explicit call-out of censorship as one application is mortifying. Valve may not be the savior, after all, but it will exist even if we have to be it ourselves.

Proper two-way is still years off (but not too many).
