It’s so easy shitting on techbro VC nonsense that only separates us from our humanity to sell adspace. What actual problems do you want technology to solve?
A better planned economy than what could be done in the 20th century. In particular, the way that many western countries’ education systems and job opportunities are completely mismatched. It doesn’t even have to be some advanced AI thing. Just some modern computer-assisted statistical work. For example, a population of N size will need N amount of primary school teachers, N amount of secondary school teachers, etc etc etc. Then just match up population growth estimates with the time it takes to train someone for that job, and have that number of student spots open (plus some percentage of additional spots, to cover people who decide it’s not for them, early mortality, etc) in the universities and colleges and trade schools.
I would like to see robots that kill landlords
honestly brain chips made someone other than elon musk. Imagine if you could use direct brain control for prosthetic limbs as if they were no different from organic ones, or perhaps even direct brain interface with other things, the possibilities are plentiful. would also be neat if those chips could be used to treat otherwise untreatable mental illness.
I feel similar, I think actual cyborg stuff could be life changing for so many people, but as long as its locked behind a capitalist’s will, nothing good will actually come from it.
Really goes for most medical technology but most stuff isn’t as bad as musk brain.
Brain chips made by someone other than Elon running Free Software at every level down to the firmware
Yes, every chip and circuit completely open and transparent with published schematics.
Having the source be open is a necessary but not sufficient condition of Free Software already, so there’s no need to say “free and open source” since the Open Source movement is a capitalist plot to dilute the meaning of software freedom.
Some sort of public repository for the culmination of all human achievements in art, knowledge and culture
Damn, it’d be crazy if that existed in some form already
I would like to see it being used in the collection of data to plan more efficiently in meeting the overall needs of every person in a global communist society. Make the planning more accessible for regular people to see and give their input on, using the power of the internet’s instant communication.
