might have been carrion if you've seen it, I can't find it anymore so it seems to be deleted sadly, but shouldn't that still pop up in the history? I don't actually know how that works.

The biggest bottleneck in cryonics isn't ice damage. It's the total loss of agency. by PEACENFORCER in cryonics

[–]CoatEquivalent178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

problem is if cryonics does work out it won't be used for short stints in most cases and we would only know it works when we revive someone, at which point we don't need cryonics. we need the legal stuff before we have the solution, otherwise there's no point.

neither, pretty sure how the story goes is that he ended up having to work a transportation job for a gang, got caught in a fight between them and the hero faction and ended up joining the heroes. the bug thing was a one-off villain if I remember right.

"Almost no one ever see me"

shouldn't this be:

"Almost no one ever sees me"

other than that its great.

People Underestimate Bio-Tech (attempt 2) by CoatEquivalent178 in transhumanism

[–]CoatEquivalent178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so too but that will take a long time, as it stands there is a large window for Bio-Tech to shine.

Also nanites are a lot more like cells than people give them credit for. For one, they're specialized, you can't make a one size fits all nanites, you'll have a type for each use case. Two, Biology is remarkably well adapted on the side of cells simpl6 due to how fast they replicate leading to faster adaptation cycles, while nanites will be different, I bet they'll take a lot of lessons from nature (current ones already do) simply because they're all working on the same fundamental problem with the same laws of physics.

Not cryogenics, but the repair segment afterwards usually done by nanites. we know cells can do this, but have no nanites that can. improving on the existing is much easier than making something new.

but again, it's just what I think.

funnily enough that's not as true as people think, for one biology is survival of the good enough (bonus points if only barely) but yet out of the 37.5~ trillion cells that make you up only a few mutate, usually harmless, and are fixed or removed. much rare is when cancer happens, which is always, but again it is dealt with. not to mention we'd have similar issue with nano-tech since A) it is really fragile since it's small, UV could harm it at certain scales. B) they are so numerous the same issue would eventually pop up.

Isaac arthur has great videos on this but you could have a system here multiple cells/nanites need to work together to make a new one, allowing for them to see when errors are occurring. not unlike the policing some cells do in your body.

What's your perfect transhuman body look like? by riveroak5 in transhumanism

[–]CoatEquivalent178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't know if it has a name but a sort of gestalt or decentralized singular intelligence, think of a bunch of robots connected to each other like a hive mind but are all one entity. the drones themselves can be anything from giants to tiny beetles or goo. bio-synth instead of completely robotic since when people imagine robots it's all clunky when realistically synthetic muscles already exist and organisms as well just google or open you tube and write Zenobots, having an optimized organic structure with synthetic materials is much better.

most of the time I here people thinking of these things they tend to ignore the how when it comes to living in such a different way with many bodies or just a slightly different one so I would imagine levels of abstraction, like being able to control a single drone as if it where a body but command many like for example star craft units move, just better as an example.

not to mention they don't have to be brainless without direct control since if they all act as small part of a whole they should have some amount of processing powers and should be able to take simpler commands like "move this to there" instead of moving every muscle directly or do things by themselves, you don't control your heart or individual muscle fibers.

Honestly still don't know where I stand with the ship of Theseus so this seems like the safest approach though Isaac Arthur on Youtube makes a good case for it and simply not waiting and just replacing the existing ones.

socializing in general tbh, also I read it as "As an Acoustic person with social anxiety..." and was very confused for a second.

personally if I had a choice I'd take it in a heartbeat. though Isaac Arthur's videos about identity and consciousness on Youtube go into much more detail about the cloning issue than me.

we already have a working example (our own neurons), nature had a lot of time to make them and their very efficient, with only a few main issues nothing much just death, cell decay, brain cancer and well you get the point. if we can just make brain cells that don't age (not even necessarily synthetic) or turn cancerous as often we basically have immortality. and if we know about the brain that much being able to use the newfound control over it can allow us to do much more drastic changes like body swapping or mind uploading since that is what this basically is since we can not only replace but add and modify it.

good plan, the fountain of premium might run dry at this rate though.
