I'd add cultured meat. It's for sale now in Singapore, but is being approved in more countries. Costs continue to come down, and factories are being built. And no, the industry is not limited to using fetal bovine serum. No company is going to scale production with FBS.

Cultured meat is just one part of cellular agriculture, though. Meat, dairy, seafood, cotton, wool, leather, gelatin, fat, coffee, and chocolate have all been made with cellular agriculture. Along with analogues of flour and plant oils. That represents a lot of farmland that could be returned to nature. And no, there's not even close to enough demand for housing to realistically say "nah, it'll all go to suburbs." We use 50x more land for agriculture than we do for all cities and towns and built-up areas put together. And 70% of that agricultural land is used for animal agriculture.

Nothing in healthcare? Personalized medicine, drug discovery, etc..

We can map brainwaves and feed them into AI now.

If we can't map the neural pathways of the cryogenically frozen yet, we certainly can while you're alive. We might be able to resurrect Einstein, dunno yet.

Next decade your consciousness will be stored and it won't matter if you die or not.

All human life will be assimilated into one 'hive mind'. Sound familiar?

Resistance is futile.

There's a lot happening in the medical world all the time and it would take a bigger post than this to explain them all. One I can think of now is a new drug was released for cystic fibrosis in the past few years that dramatically increases life expectancy. Another big one is machines that can scan for cancers and infections are rapidly advancing. This one will save many lives and can even help fight against things like anti-biotic resistance.

> All human life will be assimilated into one 'hive mind'

Not all. There will be fringe groups who prefer to "keep themselves natural". But yeah, those will not remain competitive with the rest of humanity.

Any real world examples (i.e not a crypto company) for blockchain? Seems like most of those projects are quietly being abandoned

>Blockchain

Did you mean "inefficient append only database"? No, blockchain is only proving itself once again that it's a solution in search of a problem. It's been 14 years and it's main use cases remain pump and dumps. It ain't going anywhere.

Here you go - the use cases for blockchain:

• wealth redistribution
• speculative trading
• high risk investing
• online shopping

As you can see blockchain has many interesting practical application and we have yet to see it's full potential.

Brother, please go back to my comment and check those damn links and you'll understand the true potential of blockchain.

Blockchain technology has been dying since 2019 lol, and it doesn't help that public opinion on it has dumped so far that it's practically in hell now.

If not FBS, what are they using for scale ups?

The edge AI tech is really interesting. The AI models that use data centers of compute to ingest petabytes of data end up being small enough to fit on a phone. Stable Diffusion is 1.3GB and it can produce endless professional level art in seconds. How many of these will be end up with on our phones? It's the most amazing compression tech ever.

This post was written by ChatGPT right? It has all the hallmarks.
