    2:59:43 Q&A section
    2:59:51 Do we have enough storage space to store the blockchain?
    3:01:33 Do you have an opinion on the Chia "proof-of-storage" network, or more generally on the blockchain sustainability discussion?
    3:04:30 When talking about data-storage for over 100+ years, which way would that be done? On hardware(in a Faraday cage)?, in a cloud? or by other means?
    3:10:05 How is the 'memoires' example possible? How can the blockchain guarantee it can only be decrypted at a future time?!
    3:11:02 ​Have you tried using a genetic algorithm for picking CA art pictures? For example generating iterative mutations with a human selecting the seed picture in each step.
    3:12:42 Is there a marketplace to put this on sale now? Where is the contract for these NFTs? As I understand there is no marketplace yet, but functionality is already there, right?
    3:12:53 Is there a way to make these "live" NFTs such that they continue to grow over time?
    3:13:31 Do these store a PNG version or PDF version or the code to make it?
    3:13:57 Is this minting code on GitHub or the function repository?
    3:15:15 A question does irreducible also mean the complexity bigger "at each" step. Or can a computation that totally irreducible always have same complexity for each step?
    3:17:06 Would you tell us about the limits of this rendering, namely why they are all "pyramid" like and what other way they could be calculated?
    3:18:00 What are the gas fees to buy one of the nfts you just made?
    3:19:11 Would there be anything interesting about cellular automata that used more than one start point? What if each start point was its own thread of rules?
    3:21:15 ​Is it possible to make a reversible CA to get some initial condition of a compressed program?
    3:25:38 ​Was there a reason that you chose the Cardano chain?

      @@ingliss haha ( > ◡ < ) ! And yes, it may well be that petabytes will someday be regarded as small potatoes. I don’t know how far we are into the exponential-looking part of the sigmoid curve, so it may last a long while longer. But I am confident that eventually capacity size will stop increasing so fast, and so eventually some size will/would be large indefinitely (at least, in this life/in this-world-as-it-is. I hope that in the afterlife (or in a remaking of this world) there won’t be limits to the information capacity of people, as I think unlimited information capacity is a prerequisite for eternity to be subjectively meaningfully experienced.) .
      I don’t know what the capacity of such a matrioshka brain will (or would) be (presumably very large), but I believe it will (or would) have a final max size.
      But yes, if for the time being, while info capacities keep growing so fast, I figure holding on to these blockchains isn’t that big a deal.
      However, I suspect that relatively soon (I.e. within a few decades) provided people keep using them at all, that if they manage to scale to more users, that there will be a setup by which people will store the info they care about, with no-one storing *everything* that has been done through the blockchain, such that eventually when some things are no longer cared about by anyone, no one will continue to store them. I feel this is needed for very-long-term scalability.
      I think this can be done in a secure way.

    I wonder why Stephen gets involved in so many things. I suppose it has to do with habits formed having created an encyclopedic project. I've heard him doing depth interviews, for example. He's very good at it. It seems to me, however, that we live in a time when building a real AGI is possible. If Stephen can facilitate getting that built, can't it then do all these other projects? It just seems like common sense time management. Set philosophy aside for the moment, and put on your engineering cap.
