    My impression was that, much like AI, we made some cool stuff and then people realized the whole “Buy in now, we’ll figure out the rest later” model is a scam.

    Like, i vaguely remember someone saying to freeze yourself now, and by the time we need to thaw you out we’ll have the technology.

      I think the biggest issue is that, at least quite a few years back, is that the methods of cryogenically preserve the bodies without ice crystals forming cause the arteries to weaken due to the chemicals used instead of blood. So if they were to thaw the body they would need a way to completely replace every artery in the body, or else they will rupture everywhere inside the body once they revive it. So basically the body is doomed to be unusable.

      Yeah who can tell, not me. But the alternative is 100% guaranteed.

      Also, it’s not because someone tries to scam you, that it doesn’t work (or will work in the future).
