Regardless of MOST context, new tech solutions should be piloted. This allows development teams to see where weaknesses are to allow for better implementation when fully launched. Think of what a difference 10% energy gain or recognition of structural weaknesses might have, or even impacts on wildlife.
That said, im not commenting on why it is being piloted now instead of earlier.

From a historical perspective most of the developed world is relatively not that dystopian. Conditions aren't as disgusting as they were in the early industrial era nor are they as brutal as they were in the agricultural age. Modern ideologies are pretty awful but that can and likely will change fast.
However I do agree. Drastic technological improvements like fusion or space based solar power and human level AI will increase the quality of life by quite a bit.

Aliens might be too. Have you checked?

The problem is the chlorine (Cl2) it corrodes the electrolysis aparatus.

compress it and use it as a substitute for concrete. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone, as concrete is one of the top producers of greenhouse gas.
Another good use would be to extract precious metals that concentrate in the slurry. The Japanese did it during WWII.

I think they're fairly likely. Current society is already fairly dystopian due to advancing technologies we already have, enabled/exacerbated by bad politics. I think unless something drastic happened, that trend is more likely to continue and get worse than it is to somehow fix itself without something major happening.

User: what happened on June 5th 1989 on tiananmen square?
ChinaGPT: Absolutely nothing, there was a party and it was great. Everyone celebrated the glorious CCP. Chinese re-education authorities have been alerted to your location and will be there soon to re-educate you and your social credit score has been adjusted to reflect that. Also you have been volunteered to participate in the organ donation program. Thank you for using ChinaGPT.

China can make low end chips right now. They lack the ability to make high end chips currently because they have not been able to steal the tech yet. So they have been cut off to make it harder to steal it.

I think these dystopian scenarios are actually unlikely. If the technology for mind uploading exists then the technology for human level AI also exists which means that the average quality of human life is probably very high.
A more realistic fear is that you may be revived and suffer a lot before the technology is perfected and you are able to achieve a stable incarnation. On the other hand if the procedure is eventually successful, you will be one of the first and likely oldest posthumans which might be something to be proud of, especially if you suffered a lot to get there.

Basically if anyone uses the term degenracy after 1945, you keep their head in your robotic toilet and flush several times. That's where I draw the line.

In a recent study, random words are arranged into a grammatically correct sentence.

Reading this...just in case.
"Yes, if you are reading this in the future. You really really need to get a life. If society is this bad off your studying this....then clearly you need to start working towards a revolution, and changing your world"
