Goddamn we were gullible fuckers back then. The Michael Synergy part starting at 11:00 is just laughable now.

EDIT:

Oh holy poo poo! At 26:40, they talk about Mind Machines. MIND MACHINES!

I *begged* my parents for money to get a mind machine back in 1993. I saw the ad in Mondo 2000, which made it sound like it they had invented the thing from Gibson novels allowing you to upload information directly into your brain. Turns out they were just cheap welding goggles with little incandescent bulbs in them (not even leds). drat.

Gibson and Leary get a lot right about communications, smart drugs, and consumerism and all of the 'scene' people interviewed have hilariously bad futurist predictions. Also lol at the 3d animation segment.

it's a neural network product in the same way all those "ai generated screenplay" things are ai generated. i.e. with a heavy dose of curation and manual editing

back in the 80s they hacked in luciferin and made some tobacco glow like a lightning bug so yeah, tobacco is easy mode but even the simplest biological system beats the poo poo out of most anything we build in complexity.

2. could that please be sufficient to fix lots of carbon, I would like my children (or putative future grandchildren) to not live in the Climate Wars era

you know what never has adverse effects? massive out of control algae blooms.

the upside is, after they kill all ocean life and super oxegenate the atmosphere there will be no climate wars because the entire atmosphere will have conflagrated off and the planet will be a crispy vaccuum packed cinder

i've started to feel like all research into nanotech is a dead end. why are we trying to build tiny metal robots with laser guns to chew up cancer cells when we already have tiny protein robots (self-replicating ones, too!) with lysozymes and all we need to figure out is how to drive them around?

a bacterium's flagellum is literally an electrostatic ion-driven rotary motor that can spin at 15,000 rpm and grows from nothing and here we are trying to make tiny magnets and wires. jfc

if you are interested in these ideas please read paul di fillipo's ribofunk, which depicts a world where biotechnology has essentially replaced and gone beyond electronics, and which eerily presages the election of donald trump
