Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

woah damn why does this look exactly like some Kurzweil bullshit
I have not read any Kurzweil for 20 years but I think if you read him most of it will be recycled '50s-'70s tropes. Even nanotech appeared in a Feynmann talk, and Moore's Law is from 1965. Remember, cranks keep presenting ideas which were refuted long ago as new.
You ever read "The Prospect of Immortality" by the guy who founded the idea of cryonics? Or the "anabolocyte" paper? They're such trips!
No, reading Larry Niven stories with corpsicles and autodocs was enough for me.
On multiple occasions I have had to tell incredulous people that Niven got the idea of cryonics from real world people not the other way around...
