| The cryogenics industry is a scam, but I'm more optimistic of the progress of the potential progress of technology. I'm not going to describe what's going to happen, since I think there's an infinite number of options, but I'll give one scenario: - Machine learning advances, and we have LLM-like/SD-like models for the human brain, which can reconstruct a plausible brain from limited data. - DNA preserves pretty well (and again, see above for restoring from degradation). - There is an archive of what I look and behave like It's not beyond the realm of plausibility that in a few hundred years: - "Frozen in Antarctica in a concrete container" will preserve enough data to reconstruct a person - We'll have bioengineering technology to do so - There will be enough curiosity about what people were like a millennium ago to try Will it work? Probably not. However, it somehow moves this out of "suicide" into "morally acceptable" under my values. > How do you know that a drug overdose is a pleasant experience? Perhaps I'm more interested in interesting experiences than pleasant ones. Again, you're trying to map your values onto me. |
