"Did you ever wonder why the 21st century feels like (...) a bad #cyberpunk novel from the 1980s?
It's because these guys read those cyberpunk novels and mistook a #dystopia for a road map. They're rich enough to bend reality to reflect their desires. But we're not #futurists, we're entertainers! We like to (write) b/c it's a cool setting for a noir detective story, not b/c we think #MarkZuckerberg or #AndreesenHorowitz should actually pump several billion dollars into creating it.

Debunking #doomerism: 4 #futurists on why we’re actually not f*cked

A work for flute and (live) electronics, performed by Jaume Darbra Fa and recorded by Janet Sinica. This was a work I spent a lot of time conceiving, attempting to synthesize speech and flute sound. The poetry and sound painting ideas of Velimir Khlebnikov were the inspiration. There is now a decent score available, pm me if you want to take a look! #electronicmusic #liveelectronics #flute #futurism #futurists #poetry #synesthesia #womencomposers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP1wAaPUlbA
Good morning to all the 🦊 #Foxes, 👹#Fiends, 🤕 #FallGuys, 🌙#FortuneTellers, 🧠#Freethinkers, 👨🚒#FireFighters, 🚀#Futurists, 🕺#Freestylers, 🎞️ #FilmLovers and 📕#FictionWriters on Mastodon!!
Pick your fighter for today and post the emoji below! let's see what we're made of. Today I am... Freestylin' tbh. 🕺
The implication that brain-machine interfaces haven't happened yet reminds me of Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading.
Which of course brings up the point that people have been telling us that we are on the cusp of a bright science-fiction future where computers massively augment or modify the human body, since at least the 1970s.
#Futurists have been talking about anti aging biotech that is just around the corner for the last 20 years or so. Where is it already? I can't wait forever, I'm not getting any younger 👴🏼
Mind-blowing and very entertaining episode of London Futurists podcast - “Hacking the simulation, with Roman Yampolskiy”
https://londonfuturists.buzzsprout.com/2028982/11699239
Are we in a simulation? Can we break out of it? What is the motivation of those running it? Is it possible that every intelligent life eventually reaches a point when they create AGI that subsequently wipes them out? Is that why we can’t find anyone else in the universe? Are we about to create AGI ourselves..
#Futurists predict a point where #humans and #machines become one. But will we see it coming?

I'm looking for other #futurists across Mastodon.
I also have lists from Twitter, curated long ago. What's the easiest way to migrate them over while finding the corresponding mastodon account?
This feels like it could be a serious levelling up of our collective conversation and I have no idea what will come next but I am excited for it 🥳 Any #futurists out there with hypotheses or scenarios on how it could play out? 🤓
Just attended my second metafuturism workshop with social scientists, musicians, AI specialists, and physicists organised by the Interdisciplinary Support Network MetaFuturism Lab. My first attempt at creating speculative fiction as a collective project. Such an interesting and stimulating space.
Any futurists out here? Love to connect.
