Within the next 2–3 decades, we’ll likely have effective age-reversal therapies, real rejuvenation, not science fiction.

But many people alive today won’t make it in time.

That’s why cryonics as a backup plan for you and your beloved ones matters now more than ever.

It’s not about fantasy, it’s about greatly improving your chances to reach the moment humanity defeats death.

Missing that window would be the greatest loss imaginable.

@t85048 Besides religious convictions, one day without electronic devices per week sound kind of an healthy habit.

@VladTheInflator Many software....

Hear me out:

No.

Workers are on the way out like dinosaurs.

We must broaden capital ownership.

That way, every household will have a stake in the profit.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

This and sovereign funds with equal profit share distribution among citizens are the only way that what's coming soon could reasonable benefit most of humanity yet there is not much talk of it.
99% of the debate is doomers saying we are finished and naive optimists expecting the elites to share the free stuff with everyone.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@PauseAI @BernieSanders Very good idea in principle. Take a step back and get ASI right.

Unfortunately it is not attainable irl. Exhibit A: a few rogue governments have nukes (covertly or not).

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@Olking07 If you are not paying with money (even 20$ months doesn't cover it) u r paying with your data

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

Is it really in humanity’s best interest to create a superior intelligence when we have no guarantee whatsoever that we’ll be able to control it, let alone that it will ultimately work for our benefit?

Just a philosophical question. At this point, there’s probably no stopping this train anyway.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@22TrevorBingham It is not stupid per se, it's just not realistically enforceable worldwide.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@thesupermanmx The only issue with this concept (which is pretty good) is assuming that the elites will retain control of the ASI themselves. That's the real wild card in the next 10-20 years.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@rutgerbregman Not a bad idea in theory. Total nonsense in today reality.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@BillAckman He is not making a stupid point in principle.

Unfortunately it is not enforceable in reality.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@MichaelDBrandt Is not a bad idea to take a breath in front of the by far most important step in human history and get it right.

Unfortunately this proposal make no sense for the same reason that NK has nuclear weapons and China is expanding their arsenal at will.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@jenzhuscott He is right in a way about humanity rushing the most important step in human history.

That said, unfortunately, being right on this one point doesn't make a pause on AI realistic. Rogue players will pursue it covertly anyways.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@MarioNawfal So much for the incoming AI-robotics aboundance?

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@BernieSanders Makes sense in theory. Basically unattainable in reality.
The strategic relevance of ASI is to high to have everyone giving up on it.
If even the worldwide ban passed rogue governments would pursue it covertly.

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@AbHomineDeus There was no way to prevent NK getting nukes, good luck having China giving up AGI!

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@davidpattersonx Utter nonsense! Good luck pushing a planetary ban on AI on nuclear armed countries!

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@danfaggella Number 1, just number 1. Why would a non-organic form of intelligence want to deal with oxidation and atmospheric water at all?
Biggest hole in terminator plot too

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

@davidpattersonx You know is not about that. It's about retaining the freedom and the responsibility of doing basic things when the post-human era arrives.
And all these words are also about freedom, freedom of speech and of having a decent debate with intelligent people with different views

[HODLyourself @HODLyourself]

Absolutely, HNWI will be cut out next and so on further upwards, the way things are going there will be very few people holding/controlling most means of production (value creation) and a lot of useless eaters.
Exhibit A: the total net worth and number of billionaires largely increased in the last few years while middle class is struggling with increasing cost of living.
Not a thrilling scenario for most normies I recon.
I understand this is partly what u r saying too. I do not see a clear light at the end of this particular tunnel.
