Honestly? I’d crank out the fictional settings I’ve been tinkering with for a long time (one a military-political science fiction setting, the other a dark fantasy one).
Part of the problem is that I tend to think and create visually, so I don’t feel writing really captures either very well. I can picture, in my head, how I want to visually frame the most enthralling or emotional moments… but translating them to words never seems to capture it. So an AGI that could produce the media from my imagination on-demand is pretty much a dream come true.
Ask whether we got fusion working. Whether we did or didn’t, how do we start attacking our CO2 problem in a way that would minimally disrupt the traveler’s future?
They’ve had time and history to look at for the key knobs and levers to adjust that would solve a lot of our issues (while for sure creating new ones).
I really like the idea of changing settings midway through a show. A story would start in ancient China, then switch to the distant future (with the same characters, situation, and ongoing plot), then switch to WWII (same characters, etc), and so on.
I have no idea what kind of story would work with that kind of setting change, but I really like the idea.
And then I’d like to see the same kind of setting bouncing, but with the characters being aware of the switches, and trying to gain advantage through it. Kind of like Inception, but less terrible.
If it was a heist movie, then the lead up could be in 1942 Paris - the thieves are anti-Nazi resistance and Allied spies, then, when it comes time for the theft to occur, it would switch to some third millennia setting on a space station. All the characters are the same. The Nazi general who has gathered gold from people sent to concentration camps is now the governor of the heavy helium mining operation (I dunno), played by the same actor, with a different accent, referring to the same events that happened previously. Then it’d switch to some other setting for the escape - but it would be the same characters with the same motivations/foibles/history.
You could make it similar to Quantum Leap jumping through time within family members. Slowly realizing what’s happening and leaving notes for themselves like 50 first dates. The most confusing would be not knowing a full true family history or what they will be in the middle of when they take control.
You could have an adult brain in womb. Or in hospice.
Not just because your friends are there and you’re getting exercise, but also because most professional sports teams are selfish, for profit companies that don’t care about you even when you give them money.
Happy as in “all absolutely necessary for survival bills are getting paid on time, all outstanding debts are getting paid down regularly, and I can afford to eat at a restaurant slightly above fast food grade once a month or so?”
$308,740/yr for the first year would do it.
After that I could probably look at halving the salary and live, if not comfortably, at least without constant worry.
Maybe start putting something away so I can retire before I hit 70.
Happiness doesn’t come from money, but it sure would reduce stress.
You’re being a bit too paranoid. You’re very safe using Google services since they are the most secure. They offer many good services for free and are very democratic, even Chromebooks are so cheap. Please OP, maybe you should seek therapy for dealing with such irrational beliefs.
