I've always wanted to share the stage with a creepy skull mannequin, by the way.

although not quite so young that I should really not have known better,

I sent one of the most harsh messages I've ever sent in my life.

“and now I'm going to block you here too.

“My only regret is that I can't block you in real life.”

I couldn't block them in real life, right?

Because they were still in the same social circles,

They were still going to get invited to the same events,

still going to be part of the same things,

particularly after I send a message like that.

And some folks would say that I should just get used to it,

that I should just be at the peace with the fact that some people are just jerks,

and some personalities clash, but I thought,

what if instead: we use technology to fix that.

So my proposal for you tonight is: blocking in real life.

Which has been done in science fiction, right?

But the trouble with science fiction blocking

is that they have to make it work on camera,

and that means inevitably it's a messy fuzz of pixels or something like that,

and that's not useful, that's not helpful.

Because a messy block of pixels can still see you,

But we do have an algorithm for this that will already work,

and Photoshop has it, it's called content-aware fill,

possibly the man who created the feature, we don't know.

I was actually originally in that photograph.

But nowadays it's trivial to just find an object,

And if you didn't have those two identical bushes

you might not even spot that I was never there in the first place.

Now, Facebook already has facial recognition for people, right?

So in theory, you get a photo… here's one of me and some friends.

It does go a little bit Cronenberg sometimes.

But in the next few decades we're going to figure out how to make

much, much deeper connections into the brain.

We're already starting to see some things like this.

We've been using deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's patients since 2006,

and spoiler, or as they insist on calling it here,

And we've already got people controlling robot arms with brain implants,

Okay, so no-one is actually working on a neural lace yet…

No, of course Elon Musk is working on a neural lace,

because Elon Musk is working on everything that Iain M Banks ever wrote about.

we get something that starts to make deeper and deeper connections into the brain.

an increasingly-aging population to deal with senescence,

but eventually it will trickle out to the rest of us.

And I'm willing to bet that humanity won't regress into virtual worlds,

because virtual worlds are good for gimmicky games, but they're not real.

And sure, the uncanny valley has pretty much been solved, right?

That is Johnny Depp playing young Johnny Depp in the latest Pirates movie.

But you can't have that for human interaction.

I'm willing to bet there's the same uncanny valley effect for talking to someone.

You can't simulate a human without simulating something that's very close to human,

and that would be unethical, even if it was possible.

You could use all those same little tips and tricks

that the brain has been using for, well, millions of years of evolution,

to just quietly make you not notice things.

and quietly routed yourself around an obstacle without even seeing it,

You could just tell your vision centre to quietly remove things, or add things in.

You could teleport to a remote office by saying to your implant,

and it would paint you into the vision of the people there.

then you can start to remove things as well.

Those implants could use the sort of hacks that we've talked about

to quietly remove objects, and people, and anything.

To start off with, this would just be used on annoyances.

It'd be used on the baby that's crying on the plane,
