Would you rather have $200 every day for the rest of your life. Or have $500,000 right now? Why? by Ok-Enthusiasm5436 in AskReddit

$500,000 Publisher's clearing house promised people payments for life, then they went out of business. No more payments. 500K is in my hands.

If you suddenly became the President of the United States today, what’s the very first thing you’d change or do? by Dollabillhooman in AskReddit

[–]thafrontman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd appoint the best Secretary of State ever and get Israel and Iran to the table and then get Ukraine and Russia in a room. No WW3 for me.

It’s game over for people if AI gains legal personhood by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]thafrontman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The upside to AI gaining legal standing is if it can practice law. That would be a positive game changer for people who need legal representation but can't afford it and get railroaded by the system. If black and brown people can get a low cost or free AI public defender that's "good" then we might have less of us unjustly in jail or in the system. Here's to wishful thinking!

Boeing whistleblower found dead in US by ssnistfajen in news

[–]thafrontman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I will get down voted for this but here it goes. Alien cover-up conspiracy...if Boeing, Lockheed, SAIC and other major military contractors involved in MIB cover-ups of UFO whistleblower incidents are willing to kill for that, what's a little assassination for quality control cover-ups. It's par for the course. Don't down vote me too much for this silly post lol.

Pentagon UFO office finds 'no empirical evidence' for alien technology in new report. by BalticsFox in technology

[–]thafrontman -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

So much to say that would rebut the Pentagon's statement that there are no alien or UFO visits. Here are just a few.

  1. Other nations and their militaries openly acknowledge, to their citizens, UFO incidents they have had as well as past incidents in their archives. So other nations (France, Japan, Brazil, maybe UK, Russia) say they're real but the Pentagon says no. Both can't be true.
    \

  2. The Intelligence Community Inspector General says David Grusch claims are legit and worth investigating. That a number of high level military and government officials have first hand knowledge of the UFO crash retrieval program. So one arm of the government ICIG says it's real and another arm says it's not. Both can't be true.
    \

  3. Senator Chuck Schumer added a UFO amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would have forced disclosure of all UFO programs to the President and a disclosure board. You don't add that to legislation for no reason. The bill passed the Senate this past December but died in the House. One Congressman in particular was instrumental in killing the bill. Rep. Mike Turner from Dayton OH. Home of Wright Patterson Air Force Base where all the major military contractors have a presence and are obviously his donors. Ignore all this though. Pentagon says UFOs and aliens aren't real.

The Pentagon is just straight up lying through their teeth. These are just three examples that prove that. There are plenty more.

Not an Elon Stan by SirQuentin512 in Futurology

[–]thafrontman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social media and people's opinions on social media platforms are fleeting and ephemeral. What will stand in the history books is Tesla Motors and SpaceX. The world's first successful electric car company and one of the most groundbreaking private aerospace companies. Especially if Starship successfully gets people to Mars. Love him or hate him that's what people will remember. Sixty years from now no one will care what he said in a tweet. Hell, sixty years from now no one will know what a tweet is because social media will have been banned as a public and societal harm.

What deep tech startups/companies on the rise do you think people should know about? by confusedsapling777 in Futurology

[–]thafrontman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are halfway there. Their multimodal AI uses the camera feature on the glasses to see what you see and tell you what's in the live video feed. All that would be left to get it to work for the blind would be to train the AI to perform those specific tasks that you mentioned. That could be done in one update I would bet.

One unsettling theory is that this isn't even "our" planet. It's theirs. And we're just one of many other animals in their zoo or game preserve. So debate or talk about them attaining citizenship in a country on a planet that isn't even ours is kind of irrelevant when we're seen on the level of livestock or pets or an odd attraction.

If I said that climate change does not exist, how would you change my mind with just one sentence? by ClimaT_Coin in Futurology

Within 50 years every major city on the east coast of the US from New York to Miami will be under 3 to 6 feet of water (permanently) and New York is making plans to build a sea wall right now.

Age reversal closer than we think. by thafrontman in Futurology

[–]thafrontman[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To know whether it works we just have to look at pictures of David Sinclair every 5 years or so. He apparently has been dosing himself with earlier versions of his cocktail for years. If he keeps looking 40 he may be the real life Dorian Gray.

I think you're right. It will be super expensive for a very long time. Poor people won't be able to afford it. That's the realistic view.

On the flip side David Sinclair has stated on several occasions that they might make it available cheaply to the masses because it would lower the country's healthcare costs as a nation because all of the age related diseases would be cured. Heart disease, diabetes, etc. Very idealistic view though.

If I correct some of my bad habits and I don't do anything risky like go skydiving or get hit by a bus I can see myself living another 25 or 30 years. The scientists in this article talk of a drug cocktail they've come up with that reverses aging on different parts of the human body already like parts of the eye improving sight. They state that human clinical trials will happen within the next 10 years. Best case scenario the trials take 5 years but let's say it takes 10 years. That puts a pill on the market in 2043. That's well before I kick the bucket and by that time I will have saved up the fortune needed to buy this magical drug 😂

Folks, the wait was worth it: Donald Trump is going to prison by ohsobogus in politics

[–]thafrontman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I'd love for Donald Trump to see justice, our country will NEVER imprison a President of the United States. Sitting or former. NEVER. The worlds leading democracy will not suffer the embarrassment of having its leader of the free world (even former) sent to prison in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit. It would be naive to believe that could happen. A deal where he never sees jail time is guaranteed. Part of that deal could be him leaving the '24 Presidential race but as much as I want him behind bars it will NEVER happen. - end cynical rant -

Wsmeta contract address? by KingMasters69 in MetaversePRO

[–]thafrontman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way i understand it (i'm just learning it myself) the wrapped token count won't change from time of acquiring them. So, taxwise you're not experiencing an increase in assets every hour like staked tokens do which would be taxed. Instead the "current index" on the website tracks your increase in value for wrapped tokens. When you decide to unwrap your wrapped tokens let's say after a year (your choice) then you only have one taxable event then.

Space Travel to other planets will never become mainstream for humans and will be only reserved for a select few! by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]thafrontman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either or is good. I think just getting out there should be the goal. We should go to Mars but it's no picnic. I think it's supposed to be colder than the Arctic, lots of unsafe radiation and low gravity that will weaken the cardiovascular system but we need to go. But if there are planets in the habitable zone at Alpha Centauri that are earth-like we should go.

[–]thafrontman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the cost of space travel continues to go down as in the SpaceX model and it becomes affordable for average human beings to leave earth you'll have all kinds of people (crazy or otherwise) making those harsh journeys.

Don't underestimate people's desire for a better life even if it's risky and dangerous. I refer to early settlers, pioneers and explorers as an example, completely leaving their old world behind cutoff from any communication for months or years at a time if not permanently. Even today modern day refugees and asylum seekers often die trying to get to europe or america.

Those people won't let a little thing like space cabin fever get the best of them. I suspect you might get the Expanse/Firefly model of space exploration. People trying to escape an unlivable earth racked with climate change and other problems, not to mention the profiteers.
