How long til I can be a meshnet ASIC catbot? 2045? Please?
Nah, I've got a better idea. I'm going to gradually replace pieces of my brain with ASICs, so that at no point during the process is my brain completely destroyed or exists as multiple copies, thereby conveniently avoiding the legal and ethical conundrums that that would entail. Then I'll transplant my ASIC-brain once my genetically-engineered fox body is ready. This way I get to become immortal while keeping all the "advantages" (if you know what I mean) of a wetware interface. Of course, if my past experience with the future is anything to go by, I STILL WON'T HAVE A DAMN JETPACK!
Might run into some compatability issues there. A scalp or fingertip level modem might help on the interface front.
The patched sock paradox is a godforsaken sonovagun.
Seems like a onetime upload of select cultivated stem cells, transplant GMO brain cells, and transplant GMO nerve clusters to a prebuilt ASIC unit would be the way to go.
Preparing one's source material must be like buddhist mummification, though.
We shall see.
In the meantime, the economic side of things begs the question, when you have a gogolplex of 9's past your decimal point mined (still not 21, of course), what sorts of things will we be spending the surreal integers of cash on?
Asteroid mining? Interstellar commerce? Bribing Xenu not to eat us again?
Perhaps trading hardware.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
