These early adopters found out what happened when a cutting-edge marvel became an obsolete gadget... inside their bodies.

I feel like if you’re having something implanted in you, you should get a copy of the schematics and code under an open source licence.

At the very least the schematics and code should be kept in escrow in case the company goes bankrupt or just decides to stop supporting it.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !transhumanism@infosec.pub

Community for transhumanists, discussion of transhumanism, news about transhumanism-adjacent technologies, information on related technologies, transhumanist philosophy, and things you are doing now personally or in an organisation to push forward the technology and political foundations for transhumanism.

Definition of transhumanism I’m using:

The promotion of widespread access to - and development of - technology to alter, improve (by your own definitions), integrate with, or completely replace your body and control your very identity, in the name of self-determination and autonomy - up to and including immortality and total digitization, but not only that!

Also, an exploration of the consequences of the types of development associated with transhumanism and the positive and negative responses to it.

I actually use a more philosophical definition personally but this is close enough to what I think transhumanism is.

Community rules:

No bigotry - in particular, if you’re on a transhumanism community and hating on trans people, maybe think about that for a few minutes to realise how silly that is :)
No advocating for eugenics or malthusian ideology (“too many people”)
Be vigilant about snake-oil claims - this is important general advice for reading about longevity research.

Given that this is also hosted on a somewhat infosec oriented instance (infosec.pub), I hope we can discuss some of the privacy aspects of transhumanism and related tech too :)
