I am excited for the tooth regrowing tech coming up. I’ve got some awful dental work that would be much better replaced by a real tooth

On the long-term, none. In the short-term, FOSS no-code tools are finally allowing grassroot organizations to have self-hosted, customizable internal tooling without having to rely on devs or sysadmins. This has a lot of potential to overcome the failures of the last decades of hackerist unadoptable software.

Just was in a talk of Jennifer Doudna. That CRISPER will cure many cancers in about ten years is incredible. Too bad it will be too late for my parents, but still.

To answer your question: phones and medical devices are incredible. Due to my moms pancreatic cancer she is a diabetic now. Her fingers can’t feel anything anymore due to all the piercing. But now she gets a new sensor on her arm and has continuous glucose readings. And she can apply that by herself. And I get warned if she has low sugar. This bus amazing.

Shoutout to GlucoDataHandler, which does a better job than Abbott’s own app.

Internal alpha-therapy.

Imagine, attaching a radioactive atom to a biological marker that fixes to a tumour, and deliver radiation at the very right place, rather than having to cross healthy tissues with radiation.

It’s AI but a specific use case of AI: an android at home to take care of the housework. Cleaning my dishes, doing the laundry, vaccuming and putting stuff away where it belongs are obvious use cases. But also:

• Go through your fridge and throw away everything that has expired or gone bad.
• Take care of your cat while you’re away on vacation.
• It’s your personal fire fighter.
• It paints your house or does any kind of house maintenance.
• Let’s say you’re in the middle of playing a board game on your dinner table but need to put it away for the night. Ask the android to memorize everything and put it away. The next time your friends come around to play, it can place everything in exactly the same spot.

Possibilities are endless.
