For me it’s Open Source AGI not controlled by the enshittifying power of capital
Sending someone to mars and keeping an eye on how he lives his life and survives.
Would feel like a survival game let’s play.
Sending someone to mars
…and it should be Elon himself.
Pretty please.
Naw, just send him out for a French haircut here. Much cheaper. Reserve space missions for people who are actually respectable.

Sustained fusion
Sustained net positiv fusion.
It’s plausible that we’ll see it in our lifetime.
Would be nice
That’s the first thing that comes into my mind when people say ‘you can’t spend that much money’, when thinking of being a billionaire.
I would finance the living shit out of fusion technology. You know. For mankind and such.
Alzheimer/Dementia cure. That would be so nice.
Lab-grown meat that is both indistinguishable from animal-grown and is cheaper. Bonus points if they can make bacon have 100% of our daily vitamins and minerals.
Defeating aging.
Read the book Ending Aging by Aubrey de Grey…
Limitless Peace
so no more inheritance? no more younger generations getting their turn to control things? sounds like a nightmare scenario.
Maybe think more creatively and not with a scarcity oriented pro-aging mindset. Limitless peace.
I want robot body parts.
I want to live forever, or at least until I get lazy and flash some shady firmware to my robotic heart…
Large scale terraforming. We’re gonna need it here on Earth if we don’t get climate change under control… and we’re not gonna get climate change under control the easy way cuz it’s not profitable.
But if we do get a hold on planet-scale, controlled climate manipulation here, that’ll give us a gold mine of data for extraterrestrial use.
We’re gonna need it here on Earth
But we are way too stupid for it.
Flexible, plug-n-play solar energy capture methods with more versatile applications than inside aluminum frames glued to huge hunks of glass.
Like, a paint. I could just paint the south side of my house with the stuff and it handles my electricity demand.
Fully augmented reality. Travel anywhere you can read the signs, and understand the language through subtitles and or earbuds.
Non-fixed precision robotics. Basically give a pair of robot arms a piece of wood and a dremel and it can make whatever shape, but for any tool/material.
A decentralized currency that is actually useful as currency.
A rental car that picks me up at the airport, and that I can just abandon when I’m done. I don’t mind driving I just don’t want to bother with the shuttles and parking.
Food delivery drones owned by the restaurant.
Cellular data everywhere (like starlink is working on). Ability to order an air drop of like 10 kg of food/supplies anywhere within ~200 miles of a city.

- Find proof of extraterrestrial life
- Find out what causes gravity and learn to use it (just imagine a world in which we could create gravity)
- Master matter and build Replicators
- Get a grasp of what time is and why we don’t have a real perception of it
Wait, which Replicator are you taking about? It makes a difference.
Oh, I meant the ‘make me a sandwich’ - device from Star Trek.
Immortality or at least a usefully extended lifespan
So much I want to do!
First colony in space.
we’ve all got a finite time and my dream is that mankind figures out how to spread throughout the stars.
a first colony is that step
Fusion reactors that produce all the (electrical) power we need.
That god is a chemically sustained illusion, and the dismantling of religion.
