I, too, wish to be a sentient chainsaw.

That would be such a cool prospect, but we’re going to need to accelerate our space program quite a bit if we’re going to want to turn people into von Neumann probes.

You’re not entirely wrong, there. That being said, such a thing kind of exists now, in that if you can’t pay your rent or mortgage you lose your home. Obviously not the same thing as one denies your right to existence, but it’s not too dissimilar.
It’s a complex topic though and I think eventually we’re going to need to tackle it.

I have half an answer for it, which is that those people who are uploaded could by working just as they do today. There are plenty of pitfalls for that though, like what if someone gets laid off. Or what if that person did manual labor like construction? Kind of hard to do that if you only have a digital presence.
- Comment on There's a way to know how much i am spending/going to spend with Amazon S3? 11 months ago:
You should be able to punch this info into the AWS cost calculator and see this info, right? I work with AWS on a daily basis for my day job and regularly have to pull these estimates for upcoming projects. Granted, these would be estimates.
As for current costs, generally AWS lags by a couple hours to a day before costs show up in cost explorer, so not seeing them immediately isn’t too surprising.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I’m grandfathered into the lifetime too. Good point!

I’ve always been a fan of Pocket Casts personally.
- Comment on Return to office is ‘dead,’ Stanford economist says. Here’s why 11 months ago:
So my employer has been pretty cool about the whole return to office thing. We all had collectively agreed that the vast majority of our jobs could be done remotely. Unless the position absolutely required a physical presence in the office, such as running cables or certain leadership positions, we all were given the option to be permanent work from home.
- Comment on Discord file links will expire after a day to fight malware 1 year ago:
Honestly, I’m okay with this at least until they fix the fact that all shared files are accessible without authentication. Granted, you still had to get the link before downloading an uploaded file, but the fact that there was no authentication required to download a file uploaded to Discord was pretty surprising.
