Eben Ahmed's Personal Site

Welcome to my personal site. I'm a UK-based digital marketer, currently interested in FPS games, libre software, and PC hardware.

Some computer security tips:

Use a discreet password manager. Bitwarden is good if you need cloud sync, KeePassXC is better if you don't.
Make sure file name extensions are turned on in the file manager settings, otherwise it can be difficult to tell the difference between a normal file/folder and a well-disguised executable program.
Avoid installing software using a web browser. This is the best chance someone has to get their unwanted software on your PC. Scoop is a nice alternative if you're too cool for the Windows Store.

TONIGHT:

May forfeits his organic presence to more objectively observe the cosmos (the one "function" of conscience).

Ramblings:

If no cure for dementia is found (and after a few existing technologies have been successfully combined) people who are alienated and wealthy enough will eventually resort to extending their life by running their brain within a sufficiently detailed simulation, a 'cyberbrain'.

Once the kinks are ironed out (though we are talking about kinks in the technology of peoples’ brains here), normal people will want cyberbrains for features such as accelerated thought, interface-less internet access, direct brain-brain communication, memory backups, or 'abuse' of direct serotonin/dopamine control.

If cyberbrain standardisation is regulated slower than cyberbrains gain popularity, the cyberbrain industry will likely inherit our current smartphone duopoly. This will be achieved with the embrace,extend and extinguish technique (examples^tor) being used to replace the initial cyberbrain products derived from open research projects with proprietary offering from the technology companies that are big enough to sell their first batch at a loss and have the marketing resources to turn cyberbrains into big deal.

Once people start applying virtualisation to cyberbrains (using later, more powerful, cyberbrains to run a guest cyberbrain connected to a simulated body as it's own process in the host cyberbrain), human conscience will no longer be distinguished from software, with groups using direct brain-brain communication not being distinguished from the individual.

The cyberbrain manufacturers will be held directly responsible for the actions of their users, as the users are now considered just another software component of their cyberbrain product. Cyberbrain manufacturers will then be pressured into policing thoughts directly.

Once there are more people with cyberbrains than organic brains, the global consensus on any topic will be controlled by cyberbrain manufacturers.
