Before creating “eGod”, it’s safer to first create “eHeaven”. I propose building direct-democratic multiversal static place intelligence (you can google it): the static place AI, the place of eventual all-knowing, where we are the only agents that will eventually become all-powerful. We start with making a digital copy of Earth and some ideally wireless brain-computer-interfaces, everyone who wants can buy a special armchair for their living room and go to the simulated planet with the whole experience the same as on our planet, but when a bus hits you there, you just open your eyes. So it gives you immortality from injuries. And of course there will be may other worlds with different freedoms, like flying or doing magic or instant teleportation in public places…

Sort of related, but in the two or three times I've lucid dreamt, one of them was flying and having relatively functional control of my direction. Not sure how/why my brain rendered this sensation having never experienced it in real life, but it felt strange and novel and not easy to direct. It was akin to a sensation of VR games where my mind seems to interpolate real-life expectations with visual input, but not quite. Not quite "brain-computer-interfaces", but perhaps a glimpse with current tech.

  Yes, that's great, I jumped over building in my dreams a few times and it was me controlling it, I think it'll resemble some future "multiversal UI" a bit. Did it look anything like long-exposure photos? https://wesely.org/2019/flughafen-tempelhof-berlin-1-7-2008-1-7-2009-2/ https://wesely.org/2019/flughafen-tempelhof-berlin-1-7-2008-... There are more good photos like this in the end of this article: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/LaruPAWaZk9KpC25A/rational-utopia-and-multiversal-ai-alignment-steerable-asi#Final_Thoughts https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/LaruPAWaZk9KpC25A/rational-u...
