Dangers with TransHumans

Machine components can supplement a cardiac heart failure but cannot rebuild the entire bio heart. It's expected that AGI will solve this problem in the future by constructing a new kind of heart with different and more efficient functioning. The new heart created by AGI is not limited to machine components, but rather will have the full range of options that may include printed organs of bio matter, plant matter, or symbiotic substances yet to be invented by the AGI.

Dangers with TransHumans
Transhumans are being created to enhance longevity and cognition. However, beware of this dangerous caveat! Transhumans may have 50% bio human parts and 50% machine parts, however, the real danger with transhumans is the high failure rate of stock bio parts, such as the human heart.

A natural bio human heart might last up to 100 years at best into what is known as old age - a time when the human body has a less robust immune system and is in no condition for rigorous surgery for heart failures. These types of aggressive surgeries can often lead to death. What is needed is a new heart of completely different origin, created by AI, and designed for modular functioning lasting eternally - that can be easily installed during youth years.

In the advanced Big Brain Technologies VMA Vast Mind Array ten year project to develop what may be the world's most sophisticated TransHuman, developers have stumbled across one massive problem. The bio parts continue to fail and many bio parts have no complete replacement. Therefore, the life longevity, while prolonged by this experiment in AI human and machine science, is not nearly long enough.

While developing Big Brain Technologies VMA Vast Mind Array sophisticated TransHuman, the heart has had complete cardiac failure across the five years of upgrading the bio parts into machines parts and AI conscripts. While new approved machine hearts of any longevity are not available in the world, Big Brain Technologies has invested in smaller mechanical parts to extend the life of the bio heart. This may include various replacements that are smaller components or devices such as mechanical stents and mechanically installed valves.

"Transhumanism is a philosophical and intellectual movement which advocates the enhancement of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies that can greatly enhance longevity and cognition." Wiki

Ultimately, adherents of transhumanism envisage a day when humans will free themselves of all corporeal restraints. Kurzweil and his followers believe this turning point will be reached around the year 2030, when biotechnology will enable a union between humans and genuinely intelligent computers and AI systems. The resulting human-machine mind will become free to roam a universe of its own creation, uploading itself at will on to a “suitably powerful computational substrate”. 

Brain Cortex Machine Lobes Part 44

A larger brain with 40 computers. Brain lobes are determined by wiring, sensors, and software functions.

IS THERE A BRAIN LOBE IN YOUR MACHINE BRAIN?
BRAIN CORTEX MACHINE LOBES PART 44 

CORTEX DEFINED
The cerebral cortex is derived from the pallium, a layered structure found in the forebrain of all vertebrates. Vertebrates are animals that are members of the subphylum Vertebrata (chordates with backbones).

Vertebrates include the overwhelming majority of the phylum Chordata, with currently about 64,000 species. Vertebrates include amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds, as well as the jawless fish, bony fish, sharks and rays.

This of course includes humans, and now the definition can apply to machine brains containing a Cortex.

The cerebral cortex is the layer of the brain often referred to as gray matter. The cortex (thin layer of tissue) is gray because nerves in this area lack the insulation that makes most other parts of the brain appear to be white.

The cortex covers the outer portion (1.5mm to 5mm) of the cerebrum and cerebellum. The portion of the cortex that covers the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex. It's responsible for sensing and interpreting input from various sources and maintaining cognitive function. Sensory functions interpreted by the cerebral cortex include hearing, touch, and vision. Cognitive functions include thinking, perceiving, and understanding language.

MACHINE CORTEX LOBES
Is it possible to have machine cortex lobes? Which lobes apply to the machine Brain Cortex currently under construction?  The Parietal Lobe is involved in the reception and processing of sensory information in the human body. The Brain Cortex machine has 32 input sensors and it can sense the outside world with light, therefore it has a governing Parietal Lobe which handles sensory information.

The human Frontal Lobe is involved with decision-making, problem solving, and planning. The Brain Cortex machine has a computer program that can ask questions and remember information. The program solves problems and makes decisions to accomplish this, therefore it has a Frontal Lobe.

The Occipital Lobe in a human brain is involved with vision. The Brain Cortex machine has one eye that can see light intensity, therefore it has an Occipital Lobe.

A biological Temporal Lobe is involved with memory, emotion, hearing, and language. The Brain Cortex machine has 96,000 bits of memory, and it can communicate with English language. Thus, it has a limited Temporal Lobe.
