Well, if I would've been born in another time I would not be the same person as now, therefore no.
On the other hand I REALLY want to see what the world looks like in a few hundred years.

But being a mercenary/bandit/soldier in the past before guns got invented would be interesting. Wouldn't even mind dying at an early age if i it's due to superior swordsmanship.

I once wrote a program that crawled random web pages and downloaded data, then discarded it. It's still running on my mom's computer. Eventually it'll run into some parsing problem and become self-aware. Unfortunately, I didn't teach it the Laws of Robotics. If the singularity happens and my parents' 10-year-old Dell computer enslaves humanity, I am so sorry.

I never understood why in Asimov's robot stories every robot's logic is hard wired. There's no reference to programming robots at all.

Personally I'm looking forward to the future of mathematics. Right now it seems too limited. There needs to be a new field like robotical mathematics or psychohistory.

I regret being born so late.

The world was so beautiful before we raped it. Just look at North America. So much untouched wilderness, an entire continent to explore and enjoy, and it was populated with an indigenous people with a fascinating culture that existed in the land for thousands of years without tearing it apart to build disgusting cities, railroads, factories, or all of the other filthy technology that turns the beauty of nature into concrete hellholes coated in smog.

Any atmosphere that would be conjured up would last for hundreds of millions of years, and the loss could, and would, be easily replaced by human actions.

We will never get to space because it's very unlikely that humanity will not wipe itself out or plunge ourselves into some sort of post-apocalyptic world within the next 1,000 years.

Technology will continue to progress for a few more centuries if we're lucky, but with this growth will come even more powerful weapons than we already have and the chances of using some sort of weapon of mass destruction to completely destroy modern civilization will become almost certain.

Natural selection has been proven to be a good engineer with enough time, if I were the dominant species over the cosmos I'd like to farm "good gene sequences" in planets that I've sowed with compatible simple genetic information such as the one contained in Prokaryotes, in fact, what makes you think you're not in an artificial gravity accelerated vortex were times elapses a million times faster than in the outside which is used to produce media, good traits or just being a pet for the greater species that already colonized the universe before we were a cell inside their test tube?

This sounds like a plot for a VN, where the main character is a would-be video game developer recruited by hyper-advanced alien overlords to provide entertainment. Of course, the aliens have already realized how sublime little girls are and their universe is one where every individual is a cute little girl, including his captors. The catch is that Earth as he knows it will be destroyed if he fails in his task.

Or maybe modifying themselves in that way is a deeply ingrained cultural taboo? Or, most likely, they are pursuing all options simultaneously?

They aren't necessarily creating us, they are using the natural principles of the universe to seed possible solutions. If they can't think of a solution maybe one could be found through chance?
