Lawmaker says Alligator Alcatraz is an ‘internment camp’ after joint GOP-Dem visit

  • Bumfuck Buchenwald works and has the alliteration factor. Whatever the moniker, it never should've been established in the first place.

    • Who is your favourite Anti Hero?

  • Leto II. Deadpool was already taken, so I went with a more controversial example.

    • What book(s) are you reading right now and recommend for others?

  • The Hydrogen Sonata by Iain M. Banks

    The Golem & The Jinni by Helene Wecker

    • Just a little more mercury bro, this time the elixir will be perfect

  • Perfect synopsis for the game Nine Sols?

    • Do it

  • Sequoia in my ass. Yikes.

    • Every person in the world now owns a matter replicator, but due to the limitations of the technology, there is a 24-hour cool-down in between each use. How would people use this technology?

  • I believe you are right. I should've been clearer in my original post, but I was envisioning getting the memories/upload state into the brain of the new body, not staying as a digital copy. My thought was that if you included memories up until the moment of death for your original self that it could be a semblance of "seamless continuation" because the clone would indeed think it is the original. However, at best, like you pointed out, it isn't so much extension of life as replacement.

    In the scheme of things, my preferences for life extension tech methods in order of "preserving the original" would be: organ replacement -> nanobots/gene tweaks -> cyborgization -> cryonics -> mind uploading to a new body

    I suppose a matter replicator could advance tech in each area to make them more likely to occur though given that research would no longer have material constraints.

  • Beyond the easy answers of replicating the machine itself or covering basic needs, I think it would be interesting to make a super computer with a small form factor capable of mind uploading. Then you print a replacement body in a position that fits within a cubic meter and presumably you can extend your life for a bit. A simpler alternative would be to replicate medicines that have been shown to extend healthspans in the short term and just take them in the recommended dosage when you need to.
