Sorry, best I can do is knitting and crochet. But think of all the sweaters and socks you’ll have.

I want that so much, get 10 university degrees, learn to play the guitar, become a master craftsman, all in a day.

While that would indeed be awesome, that’s not the route they proposed. It’s more about slowing down the perception of time, rather than being able to actually do something peoductive during that.
Despite thinking, “wow that’s a disgusting way to see and treat humans”, and some obvious moral concerns (like, social isolation for what feels like 1000 years, which will fuck up most people badly), which make this feel like a black mirror episode, the mind-upload issue is technically extremely tricky. Even if we had the technology to “upload” the human mind, it will be a copy, a clone, not you individually. And if we don’t have an option to download the copy back into your brain, it will just be a waste of energy.
More importantly, an intriguing question is raised: After such a download, will this be you? Or just a copy of a copy and thereby another being which just replaces another one.
Another thing I find important to ask here: what’s the point of penalties? These suggestions seem to me like psychological torture rather than measures to “correct” social behaviour. In no way resocialisation seems to matter here. So we just fuck people up by that and unleash them onto society afterwards. Doesn’t sound good to me.
Sorry for not keeping my reply focused on your idea. I had some time to spare and this kept me busy.

The technology required to do any of this would allow for so much stuff, and their first idea is how to use it to imprison people? What the actual fuck?

With all the productivity increases over last 100 years, the ruling class finally realised that they don’t need as big a society as before in order to serve their needs.
As a result, they tried hiring Thanos. When that failed, they had an idea: enlarge the prisons.
These are the stories of these poor souls

Many peopke do believe the goal of criminal justice system is punishment. So this is great for them, it stream lines the process

Well it definitely isn’t reforming the prisoners…
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
depends which country. Your country can also reform prisoners.
