For me it’s Open Source AGI not controlled by the enshittifying power of capital

      The problem is that there is not one cancer. But a myriad of cancers. That is the actual problem.

          Yeah, and better don’t tell people that coronaviridae are a big part of that - long before SARS_CoV_2/Covid_19.

    Evidence of life elsewhere in the universe. It would be so cool. I just hope its far enough we cant get there and fuck everything up for them (or that they cant do the same to us)

    Lab-grown meat that is both indistinguishable from animal-grown and is cheaper. Bonus points if they can make bacon have 100% of our daily vitamins and minerals.

    Sending someone to mars and keeping an eye on how he lives his life and survives.

    Would feel like a survival game let’s play.

      Sustained net positiv fusion.

      It’s plausible that we’ll see it in our lifetime.

      That’s the first thing that comes into my mind when people say ‘you can’t spend that much money’, when thinking of being a billionaire.

      I would finance the living shit out of fusion technology. You know. For mankind and such.

      so no more inheritance? no more younger generations getting their turn to control things? sounds like a nightmare scenario.

        The previous poster spoke about defeating aging, not death.

        I mean if we kept the same lifespan as we have today, but everyone basically stopped aging at 35, you keep the energy and clarity of mind all throughout your life, but still die at 82 or whatever, I’d call that a win.

    Flexible, plug-n-play solar energy capture methods with more versatile applications than inside aluminum frames glued to huge hunks of glass.

    Like, a paint. I could just paint the south side of my house with the stuff and it handles my electricity demand.

    Mass market availability of true self-driving vehicles and humans on Mars. Both seem possible if not likely in my lifetime, but there’s still lots of room for capitalism to eff them up.

    Large scale terraforming. We’re gonna need it here on Earth if we don’t get climate change under control… and we’re not gonna get climate change under control the easy way cuz it’s not profitable.

    But if we do get a hold on planet-scale, controlled climate manipulation here, that’ll give us a gold mine of data for extraterrestrial use.

    • Find proof of extraterrestrial life
    • Find out what causes gravity and learn to use it (just imagine a world in which we could create gravity)
    • Master matter and build Replicators
    • Get a grasp of what time is and why we don’t have a real perception of it

    I want robot body parts.

    I want to live forever, or at least until I get lazy and flash some shady firmware to my robotic heart…

    First colony in space.

    we’ve all got a finite time and my dream is that mankind figures out how to spread throughout the stars.

    a first colony is that step
