They'll finally invent teleportation, but it's the most unhealthy version of it, but because it's so hyped up, the ultra wealthy use it all the time not realizing you lose 0.001% of all your mass each time you do it, until an influencer realizes he lost weight using the teleporter and uses it over and over again, until he had teleported away approximately 1% of his body weight. Unfortunately a large amount of that small percentage was most of the wall of his Aortic valve, causing him to internally bleed out in a single minute, when it inevitably tore mid teleport.
Even with the downsides, that is describing something which actually works. That disqualifies you from VC funding.
I mean, the chat bots work great for programming, github copilot was great. Cryptocurrency was honestly the best way to buy drugs for a while. Most things VC are into have a small narrow space they are actually good for, but then they get used for business and finance and it all goes to shit... Just like anything captured to be used for business and finance.
You die every time you use a teleporter. The new you isn't the real you! Wake up sheeple!
I think about the continuity of consciousness problem all the time. To die, to sleep. To sleep perchance to dream?
A creature whose biochemistry is so dependant on discontinuity of consciousness that it will literally go insane and die if its consciousness is continuous for too long: "oh no if my consciousness is discontinuous in a different way that means I've died and been replaced!"
We're gonna invent the Jaunt from The Jaunt
ngl aortic dissection is one of my fears, so i'll pass on the teleporter
