1 year agoI would pretty much accept any technology that brings me closer to being a full android or lengthens my lifespan. Artificial brain, tracking tech, etc. I would be willing to accept a lot of compromise for eternal life and I feel this route is probably has the best chance of actually happening within my lifespan. Cyberhorror aspects aside, I figure once the lifespan increases, given an infinite period of time eventually the problems will sort itself out. If it gets too awful I assume I could probably maintain enough control to off myself at some point so it’s all good.
Also, I know the chances are still very small, fractions of a percent or whatever, but its non-zero and most other avenues seem to be just flat zero outright.
NFT’s expand digital property rights and allow direct ownership of digital assets in ways that, for example, buying a game on steam doesn’t. That being said, why people wanted to have direct digital ownership of a 2D image of a monkey in various clothing… that’s where I got lost. I can easily understand buying like… a text book, or a video game, music, your copy of microsoft office as an NFT, y’know, things that would actually have a re-sale value to it? But why the fuck would you want a monkey picture?
