Da freut sich das #SciFi Herz und sorgt sich gleichermaßen...

In einem meiner Lieblingsbücher, ("Accelerando" von @cstross) wird das #Hirn von #Hummer​n gescannt und "hochgeladen" und entwickelt #Bewusstsein.

In der #Realität geht es mit der #Fruchtfliege los:

These days, I keep thinking about the old short story "The Machine Stops." It was eerily prescient.

I wonder how many tech bros haven't read it... or read it and missed the point.

Project Gutenberg has it available here (first tale in the anthology): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/72890

And for those who want to take it from #SciFi to reality like a lot of other ideas the #OpenSource #RepRap project is still going trying to make 3D printers that Print themselves (last time I checked it could do some parts but not all)

#scifi idea...

Someone makes a "replicator" [star trek not star gate] and one key thing it can make is another of itself.

Set up to make food, drink, clothes, medications, soap and stuff. With some security (prescription drugs if you show a prescription, alcohol if you show an ID, all good).

How quickly would it spread (replicates itself).

How quickly would all fast food, supermarkets, restaurants, all see sales go to zero, and go bankrupt.

Would any governments dare to try (LOL) to ban it?

A while back, I created an RPG campaign setting based on my Get Lost saga of books. I recently revisited the project and added some very interesting features based on other great RPGs!
