Front end is pain. Avoid at all costs.

You are already an augmented human. You hold a device in your hand at this moment, extending your ability to communicate with this device. Why don’t we send an army at you? What exactly do you think early stages of transhumanism will look like?

Not really the same. A hammer doesn't make me less of what I am. A device to control my thoughts, emotions, "improve" congnition is not the same as utilizing a tool. At what point are we more machine than man? Just a mindless hive that's controlled by some singular application? This is what concerns me.

I don't think we're anywhere near that, obviously, but it concerns me that people are hopeful about a theoretical future.

Oh we have typehinting now :)

PHP 8.2 is actually so good

That would be nice. I do think Eloquent is awesome though. Not sure I've worked with a nicer ORM.

It doesn’t matter if we should or shouldn’t, the fact that it may be possible will be enough for it to happen. You can stop yourself from playing a game but you can’t stop others from continuing in your absence.

Yes. You can. With force. Transhumans aren't human and don't deseve the same right to life. Change my mind.

Lucky you, what a dream

For the record, there was a time when I loved Laravel. So easy to spin up a quick API backend. And I imagine code could be made more developer friendly with type hinting and the like.

I'm also probably bitter because I was debugging a html parser that I didn't write and that's just a huge pain.

People in preindustrial society had no idea — hell they’d think it insane to think that we could send a rocket into space and land it on a floating ocean pad.

The past does not predict the future. To look at prior events gives little to no insight to future developments when it comes to technology. One breakthrough can flip the whole thing upside down and invalidate all prior beliefs.

The mind is the final frontier. Sending rockets to space is a touch more simplistic than playing God and reducing an entire species' emotions and behavior down to bytes. Sometimes we need to ask, not only if we can, but if we should.

Had to work in a Laravel PHP today for the first time in a long time. I'm going to @ you on this all day.

It's been awhile though so I'm admitted rusty and have been in NestJS projects a lot more lately.

I'm pretty good with nodejs but I'll pick PHP for my backend everytime.

Laravel > Nestjs

Don't @ me

I’d say 300 years max - wild guess.

You can dislike it all you want but at the current trajectory it may become a necessity.

I think it’s foolish to think that humanity in its current state is sustainable for any meaningful duration.

For Christ's sake, Twitter, a multiple billion dollar company, can't even rollout a paid API feature without crashing their entire website and you think we're going to replace physical humanity in 300 years? Ok...

And a digital version is going to be more robust somehow? That's foolish honestly.

Replying to

Human as in meat bags? Yes. But the full digitized versions of us are probably still very far off. It could become a necessity though. You and I will be long gone before this happens if it does.
