RE: Software-Based Economies: The Real Reason They Can't Compete
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Can't imagine when the whole world is connected via the Internet. Each person would use hundreds of apps on daily basis. Developers and Digital Artists will own the world since they would create the key components of the Metaverse. The question is, will the software become a part of our biology? That'd be interesting.

Isn't software already becoming a part of our biology? wouldn't surgical implants that collect data or pacemakers kind of fall into this category? I mean, I know those require hardware, but it's still running software from within, and for the benefit of, the host body.
Or do you mean you think maybe someday we'll be able to use waves and frequencies to remote influence cellular activity with intent and have what amounts to Bluetooth access to our own physical body?
but the man made software we can attach to our bodies looks in a very low level compare to the "software" which rules our body

For now. I'm not convinced mankind is driving technological advancement. Life does its own thing.
Ummm , havent thought about it yet , good point
Well , would you say that blockchain did appear for a natural reason?

I don't have the expertise to argue it but for the sake of discussion it seems to be inline with the natural progression of of all living things.
Forests have networks of roots and fungi, bacteria (probably), etc..., that allow them to communicate (what we consider) primitive (chemical(?) signals.
Why wouldn't such a complex system be considered a decentralized, distributed network?
At this point I may argue there's no indication that data is actually stored in this network to the degree we may need to be comfortable comparing the two, but we do know we don't yet know everything and there are countless questions we still don't even know to ask.
Watching human behavior and comparing to everything else, it seems the underlying driver is life creates a useful tool or method to enhance something’s ability to survive or thrive, then, eventually weaponizes it against it.
Blockchain will be no different. This will boost civilization to new heights but you’d be hard pressed to convince me someone isn’t already using it to oppress and subjugate.
Neither an expert , so not really have many arguments or data for a serious discussion
good point , agree with you

I don’t really have arguments either. I just like to ponder the mysteries of life. 😊
That is true. Just look at the brain. For all our advancement, we still have no idea what is going on there.
We are so smart yet know so little. Perhaps a great deal more will be answered once we enter the quantum age. It might be that is required to end up pushing into a realm of understanding that we do not have now.

right , the brain or a single plant growing from seed are far more complex that any software I have seen
We are far for fully understanding it ( as far as I know , not really an expert on genetics)
But at the actual technology development is like :
I can change a couple of lines of code using a language I dont even know why the language was created for or who created it
I would say that nothing we can do on purpose will take as close to the point to have a genetic SDK or similar
And at this point I think as @sinistry , no human directed effort will give us that skill , just nature or need or cosmic whatever

Yes I’m definitely not debating the difference in complexity between natural software vs manufactured, I’m saying there’s no solid evidence anymore that this will always be the case.
I think we’re kind of in agreement. I don’t know that man will achieve that but I have no doubt AI can given a long enough timeline.
It’s been years, but I recall seeing an article once about a lab that was growing fiber optic cables. That sounds like primitive cyborg tech to me.
There is a case made as you describe. There is also a line of thinking the says that biology is truly code and that we are just beginning to figure it out.
Either way, we are going to see a continued blending of our biology with technology. How that looks remains to be seen.

Over the last few years I’ve really found myself subscribing to the “everything is data” school of thought.
And if that’s true then all this info is being collected and stored somewhere for some purpose, if none other than simple organization.
That would essentially make the universe as we know it, and possibly beyond, one big ass decentralized organ… like a squid, maybe, with each element kind of doing its own thing and accidentally manifesting existence for us and who knows what else…
If everything can be broken down into data then what else could it say about the underpinnings of the entirety?
There are now over 5 billion with the rest likely to come online in the next 3 years or so.
We have that time to really get the foundation in place for Web 3.0. That will really create an environment where a great deal of distributed wealth will be created.
It will be fun to see how this all rolls out.
