Better yet, rent our unused brain space and let corporations use that wasted brain energy for their server farms ... great income for the average person who seldom uses their brains. Then we could use that income to buy credits to have AI think for us ... circle of life.

What a ridiculous idea. The unused brain space is for ads! It's like cryptomining but for Google and Facebook.

But the corporations have the unused brain space. It correlates inverse to their income and executive power. They tend to waste it on doomscrolling Xitter and socializing while golfing.

They're already trying to run A.I. on human brain neurons. How long until they can use living human brains for running A.I.?
