I'd like to make it clear that I don't believe in technosolutionism, in the sense that I don't think such a technology will solve our problems: although it may help, above all we need to be more sober in our relationship with digital technology, and in particular we must avoid storing data unnecessarily as much as possible. We discussed this issue, among others, with Marc Antonini, with whom I co-wrote the video.

A life long buddy and I have always had long conversations about abstract things. Neither one of us have much education in the topics beyond complete fairytale theory, but we just enjoy imagining the abstract. A handful of years ago started our conversations of wondering how we may get ourselves to walk and experience another planet. In our current form, I don’t believe it’s possible. My first curiosity was whether or not we could “store” and compress the human conscious and how large would it be in terms of fitting it on a medium. Could we create a consciousness, store it, extract it and read it? Next the thought was getting a 3D print machine on to a probe that could “print a body” in a Boston Dynamics manner, and final implementing the extracted conscious into the robot. It’s awesome to think we’re seeing KZbin videos pop up about ideas we’ve wondered about for years, and even experiencing real life abilities of doing such this like storing simple data on DNA. Even with the idea of Neural Link, it would even be awesome to think of booting into the conscious of a mechanism that we put on our planet of interest and control it from a craft we put close enough to contact. Anyway, complete fairy tale stuff, but vids like this open up the sci-fi flood gates

Very interesting video, I found it in my recommendations and I'm getting hooked! Also I've thought about it, is it possible to store the data in a specialized eu/pro-karyotic cell? The only thing the cells need are food and water (or maybe even sunlight/whatever chemical they need, if you picked autotrophs), which is most probably cheaper than electricity. I reckon that the data should be stored in plasmids (ring DNA). (There is good research that proves that plasmids are a very good mode of data storage). And those plasmids should be stored in a big and heavily-protected bioengineered organelle only with DNA polymerase seldomly fact-checking those plasmids. Other than that, this speciallized cell should be allowed to do its daily functions, metabolize and all. I don't think that we can bioengineer specialized cells like that in this point in time, but I hope that I will live long enough to see it come into fruition.

DNA is great for biology - and it is fundamental to evolution - which is something that is very bad indeed for a storage system whose purpose is perpetual error-free storage. This makes DNA a silly thing to encode information on, unless you are alive - in which case, groovy! DNA is tremendously difficult to preserve, and its access time is frankly, terrible. There will be some amazing developments with DNA in the future - but not for data storage in computers. One of the great things about the advent of AI will be to greatly assist humans in managing and working with large data sets. And in this way, build up a lot of metadata, which makes the data actually useful.

While it may be true that 80% of all the world's documents are archived never to be accessed again, let's not forget that a "1 hour" HD DVD (or KZbin video) takes up as much data storage space as 150,000 A4 text documents. And multiply that by four if you're talking 4K videos. So the stored videos of everyone let's say in a high school full of KZbinrs would take up as much storage space as all the text documents in the world. Therefore it's not text documents that's taking up all of the world storage space, it's videos. Two thirds of the internet's entire bandwidth is used up by video streaming services. Netflix alone takes up 20% and Yourube takes up 15%
