Organic, non synthetic conway's game of life as a service, ONSCGOLaaS:
You pay a slave worker from Amazon mechanical turk to manually calculate the next iteration of a Conway's game of life state. Unlike traditional approaches that use CPUs or GPUs to calculate the next state for a given Conway's game of life state, here the next state is calculated organically, by a human or rather the humans brain. This creates a more grounded experience of Conway's game of life, leading to increased appreciation of it.
Naturally we'd be web3 ready and sell those different, handcrafted states of Conway's game of life as NFT.
We will also offer cheaper, machine created NFT of Conway's game of life states that are calculated by the blockchain VM.
Please contact me if you are interested to invest in this idea.
