Would you advance technology or take money?
A magical genie appears. He offers you two options:
- All technology will be advanced by 100 years instantly. All computers, phones, tools, cars, trucks, boats, aircraft, spacecraft, ships, buildings, data centers, infrastructure, farming equipment, etc will be replaced with their 2125 counterparts.
If a benevolent AGI has been invented, it will start functioning and trying to make all of this new tech work smoothly.
All medical technology will advance 100 years. Medical procedures that would be invented during that time will be documented as will be the methods of synthesizing all of the medications.
Instructions for using all of this technology will become available.
You have the option to remain anonymous.
- You become the richest and most powerful person in the world. You have blackmail on the leaders of the 50 richest countries, it's bad enough to be career-ending. If you are assassinated, the information will be given to the press and put on every possible communications channel.
You have the ability to rule from the shadows or take power outright.
You have the option to remain anonymous.
