What is hplusroadmap?

We are a group chat, started 15 years ago, focusing on transhumanism, writing code, and hacking on biology. We do mad science. We build. We also have some funding available for sufficiently interesting projects.

We have some other items on the wiki, like the internet's largest collection of targets for human genetic modifications: https://diyhpl.us/wiki/genetic-modifications/

Who might be interested?

Anyone who wants to build the future by contributing to projects, proposing new projects, and sorting through the enormity of technologies now available.

Funding

As mentioned, for sufficiently "ALIGNED" projects, there is some funding available. Hang out, contribute to some projects, or pitch and we can match interested parties up.
