Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.
The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone’s life and you don’t actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.
If you destroy someone’s life they may end yours.

It must be awful to live in a place where scientific study into human well being is political.
It sounds like some undeveloped country where you can’t drink the tap water.

Simply put.
We wouldn’t notice anything.
Our perception of the world would be based only on the compute cycles and not on any external time-frame.
The machine could run at a Million Billion hertz or at one clock-cycle per century and your perception of time inside the machine would be the same.
Same with low ram, we would have no indication if we were constantly being paged out to a hard drive and written back to ram as required.
Greg Egan gave a great explanation of this in the opening chapter of his Novel Permutation City
Don’t worry Captain, it is logical. The needs of the many outweigh

To me old-age begins when you feel you are past the time when you can learn/experience something new and/or new tech no longer feels exciting/interesting but scary.
I have met people in their 80s who have a younger outlook on life than some people in their 40s.
I think it will continue to limp along in its zombie state.
Well, Digg still exists…
all they have to do is hold the lie together long enough to sell.
That last phrase is really doing a lot of heavy lifting. When you own a large chuck of stock in a post IPO company, trying to cash out large ownership stakes has the effect of crashing the price.
My expectation is that what ever the IPO price is, one year from then (the usual minimum time to be able to sell a stake like spez will have) it will be lucky to be 5% of the launch price.
Welcome to the age of positive feedback. The ride will not be fun but it will be spectular.
Sadly children born in the last decaded will look on the 2020s as the good old days and they will be right.
This quote, the origional souce of which is hard to find, is sadly relevant.
When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money.
it’s hardly justice.
To quote that great late 20th century philosopher, Terry Pratchett:
There is no justice in the world, there is Just Us. (and many of us are not nice people.)
Yes, he will cash out but I feel it will only be a fraction of what he hoped to get.
He will be comfortably rich but to someone who expected to be obscenely rich, he will see it as a failure.
They are about 2 years too late.
The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.
The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.

I hate to tell your this but his mother lived to 106…
