A prediction of mine from 2022 has come true:

This was in the context of interstellar colonization. I think that braintaping trained humans, and making clones of them would be more viable than trying to create a biosphere full of active humans that could last for tens of thousands of years on a trip to a habitable planet. Scientists have now achieved this on a small scale.

My proposal did not involve being able to animate the brain in virtual space, as these scientists have done. But it does involve being able to reverse the brain taping process - being able to clone a human body, complete with the experiences, training, and knowledge of someone on Earth.

A braintaping ship would be completely dormant during travel, and also for the thousands of years it might take to terraform a planet into something with air humans could breathe. No chance of anyone dying in space. The original humans live out their lives on Earth. The human clones would not be regenerated until a habitable planet was ready for them.

Here is the original thread:
