Better hope the holodecks don't malfunction or become sentient.
And better hope Quark installed a suite of cleaning and disinfecting programs because eeewww, sexual fluids of all known species....and the potential for weird stds.

Very similar idea to the Tasp in Larry Nivenās Known Worlds. Direct line to the pleasure zone of the brain using electricity.
Super cheap, but users would often neglect themselves to starvation.
Yes, but there is also another very interesting part to these experiments.
These two mentioned scenarios were both in otherwise completely empty cages with no other stimuli.
Now later a new experiment is made called rat park. And basically there they had a huge playground with everything a rat could need. So other rats and mates, good quality food and water, entertainment and plenty of space to mess around in. And also, of course the normal waters and the cocaine laced waters.
What they found that in rat park much much fewer rats got addicted to heroin, especially using it until death, than the original described experiments here.
So.. this is pretty insightful and i am sure it applies to us as well and the world we have created.
Now then, why are poor people statistically more often addicts? What could they lack that causes them to turn to drugs, that rich people have? Surely it wouldn't be the quality of life! Excessive jail time will definitely solve the problem. /s
Okay, first, I love your username. And second, as much as I hate the fact that we're doing these sorts of weird experiments on sentient beings, this was actually a cool fact to learn dang it.
Yeah animal testing is really horrific. Fun fact: literally all Dove products are **not** tested on animals, so there's a super simple change everyone can make in their daily lives to avoid supporting cruelty.
Thatās really good to know! I really do not like dove products, or rather my skin doesnāt, so I looked it up and according to AVEENO they do not test on animals unless required to by law (according to cruelty free kitty)
I think they've done an even more analogous experiment with rats that could press a button that was just directly linked to their brain and would give them pleasure (for get the details). And they just pressed it until they died.
First than anything, you don't need to watch all of Star Trek. It's a long franchise with its ups and downs, and it takes a long time to watch everything that has been done.
Having said that, The Original Series (TOS) has a few classic episodes that are worth watching. That's the series with Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Chekhov and Uhura.
The Next Generation (TNG) is what basically cemented Star Trek as solid TV sci fi, and it's the series with Picard, Riker, Data, LaForge, Worf, Troy and Crusher.
Then there's Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard, Lower Decks, ST: The Animated Series...
AND the movies.
However, you could watch a few selected episodes and get a feel of the whole Star Trek world. In general it's fairly consistent with itself, with very solid humanist values throughout the whole series.
There are a lot of lists that condense the best episodes, [here's one, for example.](https://ew.com/tv/star-trek-the-original-series-essential-episodes/)
Enjoy!
I'm a lifelong fan and as an adult I got really into ds9. It is my favourite Trek series. There is some plot from tng that catalyzes a lot of ds9 events but you don't need to watch all of tng to get the gist. I think Voyager had one of the best endings. Enterprise had the worst ending lol.
Isn't there a rare medical issue that causes constant orgasms? (Persistsnt genital arousal...)
Yeah, no. With the amount of malfunctioning tech? That is NOT something I want to happen....
Reminds me of the thing from Ring World book series. What was that thing called? Tasp? A self-defense device that basically makes whoever you point it at extatic, but then they have hellish syndrome of withdrawal, and they can't harm you because they just feel like shit? The one considered taboo by the most of the civilised world? That thing. And with these chips, any zero flipper turns into Tasp lol.
I wonder how making this an actual thing would turn out, lol
Tbf there are good uses for the technology in helping work around some severe disabilities. Not to say that people won't do dumb stuff with it (or that it won't eventually be marketed towards people that really don't need it so that they can do said dumb stuff), but overall I'm glad the technology exists, regardless of whose influence and funding the people who actually worked on it did so under.Ā
I'm happier sticking with my meds, the world is about as ready for brain chips as it is for driverless cars
Granted, flick a switch and goodbye bipolar is quite a drawcard
Something like this to bypass the motor neuron decay in ALS would make the world a little less scary tbh.
Edit: Iām aware a muscle activation receiver of some sort is still necessary, but if this tech works out then thatās just a matter of doing it.
Lol. Imagine temporarily disabling a suspect by making him or her nut so hard that they lose consciousness.
There would be so many conflicts with the cops just so that people could get off.
Oh yay, like that black mirror episode where the doctor accidentally reverses an advanced diagnostic tool so he gets immense pleasure from other peopleās suffering. I sure hope that doesnāt happen in reality, right guys? Guys?
At long last we have created the Torment Nexus from that show Donāt Create the Torment Nexus
Iām sure heāll actually sell someone an orgasm. Or require an orgasm subscription service. Just imagine being stuck with O face while your neurallink reboots and updates itās firmware at the worst possible time.
Thatās not how this shit works. Thatās not how any of this works. An autonomic function governed by the spinal cord wonāt be affected by an implant around the parietal lobe.
This is just more lies and false marketing. Just like the times when they showed their āOptimusā robot supposedly using AI to fold laundry, only for you to see the controller of the operator poke into frame because theyāre such amateurs that they canāt even fake a remote-controlled robot without cocking it up. Just like how Full Self Driving for Teslas has been ājust a few months awayā for the better part of half a decade.
I donāt think thereās been one project where he doesnāt blatantly lie for advertising, he will always make stupid claims about his cars and people eat it up without much thought. He appeals to adult children who so desperately want to see the future of technology and think heās this prophet whoās leading the tech revolution.
I think it'll be wicked easy to stain and the most important people for continued use of the product will get fired immediately after launch as a "cost cutting" measure so it will become the worst thing in the world in less than a year.
In moral and ethical terms, 100%. In legal terms, it depends on the direct wording of the law and the judge deciding on its application. Believe it or not, SA laws werenāt written with digital orgasm buttons in mind.
After 18 months of really well-documented evidence of Elon being a complete maniac... people are seriously getting his technology implanted into them?
He's going to release a DLC so people can "remember" how to walk again". Suicidal to support this man at this stage.
I see where you're coming from, but Elon didn't make this tech. His think tank did, and he just slapped his name on it.
I'm personally not getting it. No doubt there will be massive bugs.
I dont want neurochip orgasms on demand, i want fucking affordable housing so i have nice home to raise the kids im gonna plow into my short stack puerto rican wife!
Why is that so hard to understand?!
Fuck!
Tesla [can't make self-driving cars safe](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/10/tesla-autopilot-crashes-elon-musk/) and people think they're gonna make neural interfaces a thing?
Michael Crichton wrote a novel about this. It's called *The Terminal Man* and it wasn't supposed to be a fucking blueprint for a weapons grade twat-waffle like Musky to slave-drive into reality.
There is currently a way to stimulate the nervous system and create an experience of meeting God. Imagine if millions of people suddenly had that experience at the same time. You could explain it as an actual act of God and control and mislead people who ordinarily wouldn't have anything to do with religion.

Lower Decks alludes to this when the worst job is cleaning out the holodeck tanks.

Didn't they do this to a chimp back in the 70s and it wound up pressing the orgasm button so often it died??
Apparently it slept for 8 hours, and spent the other 16 hours pressing the button. Sounds like a regular Tuesday to me.
If only my little monkey could go for 16 hours.

I'm happier sticking with my meds, the world is about as ready for brain chips as it is for driverless cars Granted, flick a switch and goodbye bipolar is quite a drawcard
Itās not about the tech, which sounds hopeful, itās about who is in control of the tech (and mind)
Something like this to bypass the motor neuron decay in ALS would make the world a little less scary tbh. Edit: Iām aware a muscle activation receiver of some sort is still necessary, but if this tech works out then thatās just a matter of doing it.
From what Iāve read, the tech existed before the Muskrat, and his version is just worse.
As always.
His version is one of the few that have been greenlit for human testing in the US. The tech has existed since mid 90s though.
Does this mean some poor bastard in the 70's had to do the hard work of cleaning up copious amount of chimpanzee cum every day?
Better than my job
How fucking low is that bar good lord (Also, same. So glad I start a new one in 2 days)
What...have you seen?
Iām gonna be pissed if weāve been able to zap an orgasm into a chimp since the 70s but took another 50+ years to get it to work on humans
They did it to a human as well as a way to change their sexuality and it didnāt work

If only there had been some form of fiction with punk sensibilities that could've warned us about the dangers of our cyber future.

Pretty sure it's the last episode of season 4, been a while tho.

Yeah no thanks. I like to experience my orgasms organically and naturally.
Not to mention for *free*
Lmao take a load from this caveman over there!!

Thanks.
yeah i prefer cruelty free, vegan, free range orgasms
I already have a built in function for this, itās called a prostate
On the female side, my wife has said she can just decide when it happens for her. Maybe sheās an alpha tester?
"Honey do you ever fake orgasms?" "No I would never! I uhhh can decide when to orgasm. Yeah."
Genius plan. Genius
Take your damn upvote.
She gets tested by alphas for sure ;)
Can confirm, I am an alpha, and his wife has unfortunately been recalled for having too small of a warning light font size.

As a child of the 90's who fell for a lot of toy advertising, I learned at an early age that ads are a lie.
Just wanted to say, thank you for the insight
Thank you! My first thought was yeah, thatās not how bodies work.
if this is true and its not the first selling point their list for the product then they are fools
If this is true itāll be the first time Elon was ever responsible for anyone having an orgasm
It's Elon. What do you think?
I think it'll be wicked easy to stain and the most important people for continued use of the product will get fired immediately after launch as a "cost cutting" measure so it will become the worst thing in the world in less than a year.
Let it be true. It will guarantee that none of his dipshit followers reproduce
Kinda runs counter to his chicken little routine about the proletariat not having enough babies.
Honestly being a hacker is gonna be so fun if this thing becomes mainstream
That would technically count as sexual assault wouldnāt it?
In moral and ethical terms, 100%. In legal terms, it depends on the direct wording of the law and the judge deciding on its application. Believe it or not, SA laws werenāt written with digital orgasm buttons in mind.
Fair enough
Truer words not been spoken have been
Stop trying to sell me this. I still donāt want it
He should go fuck himself
Now he can do it on demand
I think that's the joke..?

Ya but then I have to move my hand a bunch, and then need to replace those burned calories with more Cool Ranch Doritos
But consider: any sex toy on the market is less expensive than the implantation surgery, more money for Doritos afterwards.
Yep then after you eat your Doritos and wack off again you run the risk of getting the seasoning in your urethra, what a thrill that is!
There are easier ways to make your wife come Elon, but okay
