Revisiting the Issue of Human Augmentation
March 30, 2023 by Spartacus
A couple days ago, I [Spartacus] had another conversation with ChatGPT and got it to admit some rather stunning things. I posted a partial version of this convo on Twitter and it received quite a bit of interest.
Granted, every reply from this language model should be taken with a grain of salt, for a number of reasons. AIs are prone to hallucinations; if they don’t have a valid answer, they will make one up from scratch. They’re also highly motivated to mirror your questions as much as possible.
However, these AIs are trained on massive data sets that often include information that matches the query, including the contents of peer-reviewed scientific articles and other highly technical publications.
With that in mind, let’s see what the AI had to say when further pressed about IoB [Internet of Behaviors] tech. Again, Midjourney was used for the images.
Nano Networks in the Body
Nanoarchitectonics is an interdisciplinary research field that focuses on the design, synthesis, and manipulation of materials and structures at the nanoscale.
Intra-body nano-networks are a concept in the field of nanotechnology that involves creating networks of nanoscale devices or nanoparticles within the human body to perform various tasks, such as monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. These tiny, interconnected devices can work together to provide real-time communication, data transmission, and coordinated responses to specific biological signals or stimuli.
Conversing with CHAT GPT…
Spartacus: Given the ability of these technologies to influence human health, cognition, emotions, and judgment, isn’t there an extraordinary existential risk here that is similar to other WMDs?
ChatGPT: The potential misuse of intra-body nano-networks and related technologies does indeed represent an existential risk, especially when considering their ability to influence human health, cognition, emotions, and judgment. Although they might not have the same immediate destructive capabilities as traditional weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) like nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, the potential long-term consequences and ethical implications of these technologies can be profound.
Some of the risks associated with the misuse of these technologies include:
1. Loss of autonomy: The ability to control or manipulate human cognition, emotions, and judgment could lead to a significant loss of personal autonomy and individual freedom.
2. Human rights abuses: The misuse of these technologies might result in severe human rights abuses, as they can be used to suppress dissent, control populations, or even force people to act against their will.
3. Unintended consequences: The manipulation of complex biological systems could have unintended consequences, leading to unforeseen health issues or unpredictable impacts on human behavior.
4. Escalation of conflict: The development and deployment of these technologies as weapons could lead to new arms races and escalate existing conflicts, increasing the risk of global instability.
5. Proliferation and accessibility: The potential for these technologies to be acquired and misused by non-state actors, terrorists, or rogue nations poses a significant proliferation threat.
To mitigate these existential risks, it’s crucial to establish international norms, ethical guidelines, and regulatory frameworks that govern the development and use of intra-body nano-networks and related technologies. This should involve interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists, engineers, ethicists, policymakers, and human rights advocates to ensure that these technologies are developed and deployed responsibly and for the benefit of society as a whole.
Additionally, fostering a culture of transparency and open dialogue can help raise public awareness about the potential risks and benefits of these technologies, contributing to more informed decision-making and responsible policy development.

Don’t forget that Dr. Birx and Mathew Pottinger in the Trump White House were the primary pushers of social distancing, lock-downs, the stopping of social gatherings, school closings and masking in early to mid 2020. They did this without ANY data of substance. They did this based on what they saw as successes in China. They never questioned that the CCP was feeding them (and us) propaganda – not hard data. That they didn’t question – is more than a little suspect. Then they made stuff up – like six feet for social distancing. Most of us figured out within a few months that this was all based on vaporware data, but HHS – the CDC, FDA, NIH/NIAID… whelp, they never did.
Substituting “hope” for science in regards to public health policy is no way to run a country, let alone a nation.
Let’s just “try it” is not an answer to a public health crisis.

Vegan Mock Meat (Gluten-Free, Oil-Free)
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ounces dry soy curls – half of a bag
- 1 ¼ cups vegetable broth
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 8 ounces baby bella or portobello mushrooms, sliced
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ cup raw sunflower seeds or walnuts – walnuts create a darker “beef” color
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon corn starch or arrowroot
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat.
- Place soy curls in a large bowl and cover with the broth. Let them soak for 10 to 15 minutes. After soaking, reserve ¼ cup of the broth, and drain the rest. Lightly squeeze the soy curls to remove excess moisture, then set aside.
- In the preheated pan, dry sauté the onion and mushrooms until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, rehydrated soy curls, and smoked paprika, and cook until the soy curls are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a large food processor combine the nuts or seeds, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pulse until the nuts/seeds are chopped. Spoon the soy curl mixture into the food processor and drizzle with vinegar and tamari. Pulse 7 or 8 times or until it resembles ground meat.
- Return the mixture to the same sauté pan, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Dissolve the corn starch in the reserved ¼ cup broth. Pour into the pan and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. The soy curl beef should now appear more moist, slightly clumpy, and lightly browned. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired. Enjoy as is, or use in another recipe.
