For the first time, I’m repeating two prompts (they were in yesterday’s mindcandy, too): the fusion of synthetic genomics and NFT and the first AI/robot brothel.
Scenario prompts 11 June 2024
The other prompts are sand batteries (ideal for Spain), consumer trends, microreactors (nuclear), how to live forever, the end of software and Apple and AI

Software companies will be replaced the same way media companies were, giving rise to a new set of platforms that control distribution.
I minted a synthetic organism as an NFT. This could change biotech as we know it.
The fusion of synthetic genomics and NFTs represents a potentially transformative leap for the bioeconomy, offering enhanced economic opportunities, accelerated R&D, streamlined intellectual property management, new revenue models for biocreators, and strengthened biosecurity
