Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

The interesting thing about this is that these people never stop to think that the future they dream off might never happen. Aside from the fact that their cryo company might just go under, they don't ever consider that in 200 years they might just wake up under a dystopia.

The bodies in the container partially thawed, moved, and then froze again — stuck to the capsule like a child’s tongue to a cold lamp post.

Horror stories of cryonics: The gruesome fates of futurists hoping for immortality

A nice read about what can happen while someone has been frozen in hope to be revived in the future.

They MOVED? Like, independently?? Or they kinda slipped & slid all gushy as they thawed out?

I read this story some time ago. As far as I can recall, the cooling process was interrupted. The bodies then thawed and began to move. Then they re-froze again. Upon a later inspection it was discovered that the bodies have moved and also were severely damaged. Read the story, it‘s quite entertaining.
