Karma Peacock NFTs

App, Charity, Social MediaTom WalmaComment

Idea: An NFT-based social media application where each person has a peacock avatar, and people (or charities) give them a "feather" as a reward for doing a good deed, and so the more good deeds they do, the more elaborate their peacock becomes, allowing them to show off (aka "to peacock") their good karma to their friends. Also: each feather would include information about the good deed so other people can see why you earned it; people could give you cryptocurrency as a reward for a good deed; human auditors could verify that the highly-rewarded good deeds actually happened; discussing whether the possibility of a financial reward ruins the "purity" of good deeds; maybe people have always wanted to give like $5 as a reward to people they see on the local news who saved a puppy or something but there was never a convenient way to do so

Super Citizens

SillinessMike SzarComment

Idea: A special citizenship status with fun privileges which allow you act like an action movie hero and commandeer another person's car, and also maybe take people's food, swap clothing with them, cut in front of them in a line, etc. Also: you'd have to do a brave heroic act to become a Super Citizen; "Improving Citizens" who have to "clean up the messes" of the Super Citizens, i.e. return the cars taken by Super Citizens to their owners; discussing our own successful and unsuccessful acts of heroic bravery

"Determinator" Vocal Intelligence Analyzer App

AppChris KarpinskiComment

Idea: An app that you run when somebody's talking to you which listens to them and judges their intelligence level in order to help you determine whether or how to interact with them. Also: detecting personality traits such as abusiveness; questioning whether you'd run the app on yourself to determine your own intelligence level; using the app to identify a person from their voice if you forgot their name; creating a giant "big brother" online database of people's vocal intelligence assessments; tricking the app to appear more intelligent

Self-Playing Musical Instruments

Music, Tech, RobotsMike SzarComment

Idea: Musical instruments such as drums, guitars, and saxophones which play themselves like a "self-playing piano" aka "player piano", and where you can't see the mechanism which is playing the instrument. Also: playing musical instruments using stick-and-gear contraptions, humanoid robots, metal balls falling in rhythm onto drums, etc.; replacing a deceased band member with a self-playing musical instrument; self-playing musical instruments on the street which wouldn't make you feel obligated to donate to them (unlike street musicians); discussing performing standup comedy on the street
