Please, don’t repeat that nonsense. There’s no magical unutilized brain power.
Everybody’s (sadly) using 100% of their capacity.

Years ago there was an Albert Brooks movie, "Defending Your Life," in
which you can get reincarnated and use more of your brain (like 50-60% instead
of the mythical 10%). But it doesn't seem like the characters use their brain
power for anything of substance.

I can see that being used for brainwashing in the future.

Very good point. Thought about that too. But after pondering the article, decided
to focus instead on the better angels of our character
|
I hope this is used for good, but with all the evil people in the world I’d rather
not control my dreams(not worth the potential loss.)
|
And btw, not that it would assuage your concerns much, but just to be fair: the
article spoke of it's use as a "guide" to aide an individual in controlling
their own dreams in search of so-called 'lost' memories, basically suppressed
memories. Actually very exciting potential in this application of AI, when/if
we ever get there
|
In search of lost memories? Why is my big question, is all this really necessary?
|
If we're beginning there, with that question, you'll need to first do
some work yourself in understanding the significance of accessing suppressed
memories, especially to the mental health profession. Which is just a starting
point for such a consequential technology, should it be realized.
You raised a disturbing possibility given it's potency in the wrong
hands, understandable. But now imagine that same potency in other hands making
ours lives better, advancing humanity. Powerful tools are not to be feared if
human nature is fully understood, imho.
Take care now

It looks more like a rough collie (like Lassie) than a border (which are generally
black and white).
OP - It's probably a mosaic of someone's dog?
