this guy is legit awesome unlike colorboy

he's such a loving beast. one of the best climbers in the country in his teens, but then he lost his legs to frostbite. after recovering, he was like man, gently caress not having legs and became an engineer and built his own legs. just doing half of what he's done is an amazing feat, nevermind crossing from "yeah im the best rock climber and a child" to "gently caress now i dont have legs gonna build my own"

quote:

What happens when a man is merged with a computer?

This is the question that Professor Kevin Warwick and his team at the the department of Cybernetics, University of Reading intend to answer with 'Project Cyborg'.

On Monday 24th August 1998, at 4:00pm, Professor Kevin Warwick underwent an operation to surgically implant a silicon chip transponder in his forearm. Dr. George Boulous carried out the operation at Tilehurst Surgery, using local anaesthetic only.

This experiment allowed a computer to monitor Kevin Warwick as he moved through halls and offices of the Department of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, using a unique identifying signal emitted by the implanted chip. He could operate doors, lights, heaters and other computers without lifting a finger.

scrub-level cyborg imo, but then he did a legit one:

On the 14th of March 2002 a one hundred electrode array was surgically implanted into the median nerve fibres of the left arm of Professor Kevin Warwick

i watched ghost in the shell yeqrs ago and dont rly remember it, but i dont think it rly answers the question?

my point is that our brains just transmit electric signals, so would it make a difference if a machine does the same thing?

when i kill an npc in a videogame, would that be like murdering a vry simple person?

carry on then
