Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind

Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind
As usual, the following new technique appears to be very convenient
and helpful at first, and the article that I am going to introduce to you begins
in what might be interpreted as a positive manner, but if we read it to the
end, we discover- the real agenda behind it.
The article was run by Euronews.com in October 2015 and is a report
from the International Academy of Music and Art in Rome, Italy. Researchers
are currently working on creating music in real time, using electric brain
signals generated by the performer. This is particularly convenient for a
composer, whose ideas can be transformed from his or her brain directly to
musical notes. The composer’s emotions can then also be transformed and
turned into a different velocity, signifying the composer’s mood at a
particular moment.
This seems to be very helpful for musicians and composers, but then
we are told what the real idea behind this invention is (my emphasis),
“Our goal is very ambitious. In fact, today, we have the means of reaching
this goal. It subverts the idea of a composer or a performer related to a
medium, a mechanical artifact. It would allow us to substantially get rid of
mediation tools and move on to creating music simply by thought,” says
Riccardo Santoboni.
Similar research is underway in other places like Plymouth University in
the UK, where researchers are investigating techniques to generate music
with a Brain-Computer Music Interface aimed at inducing specific emotions
on listeners. 215
This research is clearly a part of getting everything ready for the
Singularity, where everything is virtual reality, and we are controlled by a
super brain.
On the flipside, all that which the Overlords are creating with
technology can be obtained without technology by just using our minds.
