A fully open source tech manufacturing company such as chips, gpu, ram, motherboard, connectors, ssd .etc you get the idea.
I’ve been thinking along the same lines lately. A fully open source hardware and software architecture and implementation, to replace the closed “old world”.
Hell yeah but it is all a pipe dream anyway cause no corpo or billionaire is gonna do it.
That has a real chance of existing? Something with clean power.
That I really want? Replicators. Man think about a life not having to cook or clean dishes.

Drug addicted, Mafia made, trash fed makers from Transmetropolitan, specifically.
My appliance is on drugs
I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU!!!
Is transmet trending somewhere? I haven’t seen it quoted or memed in years but now twice in two days.
Not that I’m aware. Probably Baader-Meinhof.
To wit, coincidences are more noticeable than non-coincidences, and once you’ve noticed one it’ll be much easier to notice others you might have missed.
I myself once spent about a week seeing Curta hand-held mechanical calculators everywhere. Books, magazines, blog posts, youtube… I wasn’t complaining, of course, the Curta is an amazing piece of engineering, but still, it was a bit weird.
Cooking is super fun tho
An end to the problem of aging, and death. Whether that means turning into cyborgs, I don’t care. I just want to choose when I die. Not having dying slowly happen to me like a terminal illness. Plus life is way too short. If I get tired of immortality let me off myself. But let me at least get tired of it first.
Have you ever heard of de’beers diamond hoarding story. Thats like what i expect would happen to humanity if we gained the ability to live forever, ‘manufactured scarcity’.
A tumultuous time of oligarchic rule with infighting to control the life extending technology. Eventually ending in a winner take all dictatorship. The masses would never see their lives extended (greener pastures visions may be made in the beginning). In fact common peoples lifespans would likely shorten as the controlling elite no longer required the same sort of widespread healthcare present even at todays standards, (depending upon where you live).
The elite would form a supplicant circle around the eventual dictator who maintains control, drip feeding the life extending technology to those who serve their dictatorship best.
Within a couple generations they won’t be a dictator but our Monarch, and the common people will obey, and descend to a miserable condition.
I may have let my imagination loose today a bit…
Similar to the book/show altered carbon except in that the poor people have a knockoff way to extend life
Oh cool, an Acme version! I didn’t imagine that!
Doors that go “swish” when they open.
Curing aging.
That would leave the time to see all the other inventions to come. It would also cure age related diseases like Alzheimer’s and Cancer.
Is Cancer age related? I thought it could happen to anyone. But much more likely to happen when your older.
Well yes, but a) the immune system gobbles up bad cells, but becomes less efficient as it ages b) point mutations accumulate with age => increases the risk of cells going haywire.
I was hard on the r/longevity train until their figurehead (Aubury) was busted for being a sex pest and half the subreddit defended them. Aging is a disease which must be treated as such, but I have zero faith in a community that is so willing to overlook their mascot being a creep, especially not when so much research is being done by other individuals who aren’t carrying that baggage.
Yeah that email he sent was a bit creepy.
But that’s also the only thing anyone have found against him. And he have singlehanded brought anti aging research into our history.
You should check your sources too, because it’s Aubrey, not “Aubury”.

Every single suggestion so far has been positive, life-affirming, and productive, so I’m going to be Gru here for a change:
Bolos. AI tanks with no crew and heavily (Greek) Spartan-centric model training.
Don’t worry, I’m here to help :)
Antigravity, Durasteel, shields, cold fusion, nanotech, time travel, warp, dimension sliding/hopping, mind mapping, cryo sleep, teleportation, Positronic brain, …
This basically covers it, I’ll add replicators and holodecks
Yes, how could I miss those!!
Bacta Tanks. Maybe a few days in one would fix my back.
Nano-tech medicine, for sure. Injectable swarms of individually dumb, tiny robots which are controlled by an external AI doctor.
Naa I want a Sarcophagus from Stargate.
Although only use it when you need it.
May be poulsen treatment or immortality cruciform from Hyperion. Not sure if immortality is such a good idea though. Throughout history horrible dictatorships tend to end after the death of the despots. Imagine if these horrible people are immortal…
The terror usually doesn’t end when the dictator dies today he just gets replaced by the next in line, but even, having the entire human race go old and suffer until death to alleviate the dictator problem is maybe not the best way to do it?

Nanotech robots for garbage recycling.
Imagine if we dumped our trash into one end of a big fuckoff machine and out the other end it came out in microscopic pieces into hoppers for reuse or correct disposal.
Throw in an old appliance and out the other end comes the aluminium from the body, the steel, the copper from the wiring, the silica… you get the idea.
But they’d just realize we are all garbage and then gray goo the entire earth
Nah thats the dystopian version, op specified “Exotic” thats the one that doesnt go wrong and kill us all.
“Exotic” isn’t synonymous with “safe”
Dont tell me how my hypothetical science fiction invention works, you dont understand the hypothetical sciemce fiction research we would be hypothetically doing.
Catgirls
and space adapted humans
- radiation resistance (I think charnobyl wolves have that already)
- better eyeballs, digestive system and bones
- propulsion system
- vacum survivability
Propulsion system for space adaptation? So high pressure farts?
If humans would still need to operate in atmosephere so: propellers with emergency high preassure farts
Bum boosters!
Being able to photosynthesize. It wouldn’t be that hard either, we already can, just not to make food.
Giving it all away to mutual aid groups to have them figure out local issues.
room temp superconductors.
I’m convinced that, despite his denial, Isaac Asimov’s psychohistory was a Red Scare-dodging caricature of historical materialism / scientific socialism. I’d put my money there.
