Within 50 years, people will be chopping their limbs off and replacing them with prosthetic limbs as rapid advancements in bionic tech will eventually mean bionic limbs will surpass the capabilities of human hands and legs. Can anyone confirm this cyber punk future?

Guy actually in biotech here
We are about 5 years off revealing our prototype to the public at my research firm. It uses nerves in the spinal cord hooked into a encrypted transmitter to transmit a signal to a prosthetic limb.
We have a working version currently connected to a rat and we are building one that is going to be connected to a pig next.
The power source is the biggest problem. The transmitter uses the same battery as a standard pacemaker, the limb is the problem. We don't want to use a lithium battery due to overheating and accidental puncture.

Really? If your getting a fake arm, the chance of rejection is just as high so anti-rejection drugs for life wouldn't be off the table. I'd also be interested in knowing the maximum Jules you can produce using the artery in the thigh.
>>69439143
Honestly making a prosthetic liver is on the same difficulty scale of a artificial brain. The liver does too much shit that we can't scale down to fake liver size
>>69437649
This won't happen. Only brain damaged freaks get off to cutting their limbs and replacing them with something no matter how convenient it is. There might be some less intrusive but still helpful implants or devices though.
But more importantly our vision of the future is as flawed as people imagining space ships with steam engines in the past. It will probably be something completely invisible like nanomachines.

What gives? It seems to me like they're trying to run before they walk. Rather than creating something mechanical, wouldn't it be far simple to try and reproduce an actual hand, based on the design we already know works, our actual hands? I mean shit, last I heard the closest thing we have to artificial muscle is literally fishing line wound up extremely tightly, which has a current passed through it, causing the line to expand.
>>69437649
Elective surgery is serious shit, and so is losing your original limbs. There will be advantages that come with bionic limbs, but also disadvantages like glitches, maintenance, hygiene, batteries, and sensation. The bionic revolution means great things for amputees but I don't see a world where people willingly have their natural limbs removed so they can be augmented.
Yeah then you get emp'd and you are a vegetable.
>>69439240
Rejection of transplant organs and the body rejecting foreign machinery and titanium are two different things
>>69439240
Limbs aren't rejected, they're not screwed in but clamped on like a traditional prosthetic. The only part that is inserted into the body is the transmitter. We are still having rejection problems with it but are testing synthetic wiring materials to attach to the nerves. We are also trying overlay sensors to bypass surgery completely and instead use an adhesive .
>>69439353
The mechanics of an artificial hand are nothing compared to getting it to interface directly with the brain.
>>69439451
I like this leaf, he knows his shit
>>69439240
As far as my understanding goes, linking the interior with vasculature would severely heighten the risk of rejection occurring. It would be nice to look into the possibility of grafting the endothelium of the recipient and cultivating the point of contact with the blood with it. Modifying it to prevent WBCs from infiltrating the membrane would further reduce risks of rejection.
>>69439420
Yeah, there will be an EMP the size of a penny that can target people specifically. Someone never passed high school physics, spotted the janitor nigger.

Sure they will, when prosthetics have as many nerve endings as human hands, have the range and fluid movements of human hands, can sense temperature and changes in climate/wind/humidity as human hands, can be self-repairing like human hands, have the ability to touch as light as a feather or as heavy as a hammer with a human hand, have the hand-eye coordination of the human hand etc etc etc
Prosthetics sound good and all, but all that falls down when you can't do something as simple as feel how sharp a blade is using a finger or thumb.

Legs below the knee maybe. It's been shown that in pure running, prosthetics below the knee perform better than a real calf and foot. It's not something worth doing if you're doing a high-agility activity, like playing football or soccer, but if you want to be a sprinter, you're better off with prosthetics below the knee.
However, the dexterity and range of use of the human hand is unmatched and is unlikely to be matched (let alone exceeded) by a mechanical device. Ever.

Redditors will ask other men to fuck their sexbots while they watch
your buddies have nothing to do with engineering because from that point of view robotic limbs are a nightmare and will never be a thing
Much more probable that we will learn to grow muscle strains and bones that far surpass any clanky robot shit for nerds when we figure out biology - but we're very far from that point.

I mean bionic limbs are being developed rapidly and some of them are probably stronger than their human counterparts.
The reason I don't think this is a reasonable future is that the human body is so incredibly good at maintaining and repairing itself that bionic limbs, while mechanically stronger, probably would lead to an annoying amount of repairs/maintenance needed.
Then again, things might change a lot in 50 years. I doubt it though.

That's a ridiculously bulky prototype but the end goal of exoskeletons is to increase the weight a soldier can carry, both in armour and munitions, thus increasing each individual soldier's lethality.
It also means an end the current situation where asymetric warfare is easier for insurgencies because a third world farmer can maneuver faster than a professional soldier because he's just wearing a dishdash and the soldier has 90lbs of armour, ammunition and ECM strapped to him.

>>69442467
Yeah, it's partly due to the high-risk nature of their job that door-kickers need more armour, but also because battery life for exoskeletons is still shite, meaning it's less useful for conventional infantry who might go out of a 72 hour patrol and can't be worrying that their batteries are going to run out.
Liquid armour doesn't need to turn on, it's based on non-newtonian fluids that harden when exposed to shearing force i.e. a bullet trying to pass through the liquid.
It's basically a gel that acts like an extremely dense sandbag when shot, and because it's a liquid, it disperses the energy of the impact far better than conventional soft armours made out of ballistic fabrics, so you don't need the extremely heavy trauma plates current body armour uses to protect soft tissue.
It's basically the protection of current hard armour with the flexibility and low weight of soft armour.

What happens then? Do you transfer your memories to a machine brain? If so , then are you honestly saying that what makes you, you are the sum total of your memories?
Ignoring all the consequences that may have. You're basically saying you're just a bag of meat and memories that can be put into one vessel from another. And in doing so you're destroying what makes you human.
Anyone who would do something like that, deserves all the consequences that comes from these "enhancements".

And that's where you fall. Your rejection of what it truly means to be human makes you into an animal. And I won't fault an animal for acting like one. But I'll fault a man for making others into animals.

>>69444914
Replacing body parts with machines is just a natural extension of what we've been doing for thousands of years; it's one of the major things that sets us apart from animals, the essence of being human, even. If you don't like it you might as well go out in the woods and become a hunter/gatherer.
>>69445190
>yes that is EXACTLY what we are
Except that it isn't. But you've clearly never thought about what being human truly means.
>ok im fine with that
Yup. You've clearly never really given this much thought beyond "muh immortality"
>>69437649
not in the next 50 years lol, that's absurd. in 50 years we'll be at war over natural resources. the average citizen will be afraid because their newest smart phones, or the next generation of phones, their cars etc are at risk. everything /pol/ hates today is due to US leaders thinking 100 years ahead and attempting to get their boots deeper and deeper into every rich country they can. they can only do this if the public agrees they need to, but that's another topic for how they're manipulating everyone.
basically after our next big war the US will come out as a global dominator and all the chaos will promote heightened R&D which will obviously allow us to emerge unto a new era we like to think of as "cyber punk", similar to every single fucking new era in the world. countries manipulate everyone, start wars, we emerge better than we were before the chaos. this time will be the best one though because obviously our technology is the shit right now and upgrading it at this point is mind boggling.

If it has become possible to parallel the functions of the brain sure. I assume it will be a more gradual transition, with hardware supporting and augmenting the brain until eventually the brain is more tech than organic.
>muh mysterious consciousness
You are an organic mechanism, your feelings and fear of death (most perception of some supernatural aspect of the self comes from this) do not change that.
>Anyone who would do something like that, deserves all the consequences that comes from these "enhancements".

I only remember going around murdering all the inferior cyborgs and fleshbags, then killing the dumb fuckers who tried to sabotage augmentations. Can't remember the endings since my save file was corrupted and would crash as I went to the ending room.

im kinda retarded at this can you use the brain as a power source connect something to use it as a battery to charge the limbs, aka make a totally different nervous system out of wires and make the whole body cybernetic.

This. External processing units and memory will happen before our brains themselves get messed with.
>>69445375
>Replacing body parts with machines is just a natural extension of what we've been doing for thousands of years
Except that it isn't. There's a difference between using tools and replacing parts of your body. There's even a difference in the act of doing so.

Please, enlighten us.
>>69445386
Humans don't have to die. It's something that we do when our bodies run out. But by utilizing machines to avoid death, is forsaking what makes you human. You're essentially like an animal doing everything it can to avoid death, even if it harms you in the long run.
>>69445454

It's retarded to say that it will never happen. Completely retarded.
If the robot arm is better than what you already have then people are going to get it. People with no arms get robot arms. People with defective limbs might get them just so that they could get a functional limb.
The tech simply has to improve to the point where people decide that getting a robot arm is worth it. A lot of people are already into body modification, many of them would get a fake arm just for the novelty.
I wouldn't get a robot arm right now, but if the tech was a bit better and I had arthritis then I'd seriously consider it.

Thats why I said transplant.
We will be able to develop a life support system for the brain long before we are able to perfectly mimic the brain's functions or repair/regenerate its tissues.
However, an engineered support system for the brain should extend its life significantly, hopefully long enough to reach the technological escape velocity that will achieve immortality.

I'm not going to discuss this point as it would open a whole new aspect of what we're talking about.
>Indeed, I plan on enjoying my eternity.
And who guarantees your eternity? Do you think that you're just going to be given it? Freely? Who pays for your "eternity"? And who's to say you'll be deemed fit to experience this "eternity"?
I'd tell you to gives this more thought. But you remind me of a hamster on a wheel chasing a sunflower seed.

Until said robo arms have nerves and feel and work just as good as a normal arm, plus extra strength, I doubt many will sacrifice their limbs for it, plus people without prosthetic arms or body parts will be less likely to get a job.

Right NOW it is, because the technology is inferior to nature. But if you could safely replace body parts with something far stronger and with all the same dexterity/function there's little reason not to do it.

You should firstly question the existence of "reason" and the existence of consciousness and reason. Two things that exist in tangent with one another.
And I suggest you do so apriori.
>>69445734
Only Corporates would be doing shit like that I already said I am building my own stuff.
Engineer here, your buddies are fucking with you. Our fabrication processes and ability to engineer materials are nowhere near 50 years away from creating prosthetics superior to the biological stuff. Bioengineered replacement limbs? Maybe. Prosthetics? Nah.
