Ok nice to hear! Which one of the 8 picks your interest the most?
Chrononaut
Yes conversations cards, where what you read it’s pretty much what you read in one of the 8 prompts you can see on the website. So far I have about 50-60. But not all of them are high quality or interesting or somehow the right ones
Fair enough about the incel comment. The idea is more about letting people “mess around”m as I don’t believe in anybody having much ability to predict the future more than couple of months ahead. But I see the value of letting people engage in this kind of conversation, and people I have been doing this so far found it a very interesting way to discover more about their opionions and values, the one of others and also about what the future might bring, and this sometimes help shift perspective on the present. Thanks for the book recommendation and for the Atomically Precise Manufacturing, also explored nicely in Life 3.0 btw.
The website is for now a way to start engaging in a conversation with AI, but what I am focussing on is to let people engage in conversation with each other IRL.
Thanks a lot for this very valuable input. The intent of my project is not to work in the space of predicting the future, but more in giving agency to people from different areas of expertise to engage in the practice of imagining the future, which sets in motion very interesting conversations about people’s value, how they see society today and of course also (sometimes) valuable inputs on what the future might hold.
Thanks for the comment. Which book or other sources do you recommend? So far I have read Life 3.0, The Coming Wave, Superintellingence, The Singulariy is nearer. And about prompts I refer to the ones I have elaborated further on this website I made https://www.22ndcenturyhub.com/. Extreme longevity it’s what I meant with Amortality, superintellingence is probably the defyining theme of the next era but I find it a difficult topic to let people engage with intellectually, since our cognitive abilities are literally too underdeveloped to be able to discuss about it in a way that really leads somewhere (love the paradox of it and also I agree this is a very bad reason to not engage in the conversation, a conversation we must continuously have).
I found the source: https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Transformations-General-Purpose-Technologies/dp/019929089X . And I added a screenshot of the table of content (available as a sample on amazon)
Discussion around the liability of virtual avatars in virtual reality.
Nice thanks a lot for sharing, also about New Babylon. I can imagine. One of the reason why I use 100 as a timeframe is to give permission to participants to really let their imagination go “wild”. I understand the value of also doing the next 5 to 25.
