And why do we want this?

Basically, it means all of us are going to merge into a single entity.

You can't always have guaranteed communication with any aircraft, bandwidth limitations, weather, jamming, and just signal strength limitations.
One of the issues with some strikes historically has been the limited data sent back fir decision making.
Result- a lot of collateral damage, as people in the ground make quick decisions with grainy videos and limited supporting data, which leads to lots of collateral and civilian deaths.

It has a solution too as I mentioned before in the comments. In a few years you will be able to do this locally in your PC. Not connected to the Internet. So it stays inside your personal hard drive. I understand your concern for privacy, I kinda think the same :)

I have kept a journal since I was 14 years old. I am 47 now. I am anxious for the day when I can feed it into an AI and hear what it has to say about me and my life. But I also don't think I would feel comfortable unless the information was protected from being seen by human eyes.

Some simulations will help, especially those aided by Ai.
The protein folding problem was solved by an Ai, but you could call it a simulation that learned how to simulate given lots of examples.
I think the aging problem is best attacked from all angles.
Regardless of the approaches, the increasing levels of computation will make all problems much easier to solve.

My friend Fred wants to focus on code, preferably one programming language. The plan for his possible startup is to do unit tests, correctness proof, and linters to assure quality.
Related to LLMs, I have been thinking about news, tweets, and blogs. Pictures would work too I think. But killer apps tend to be video related these days like YouTube and TikTok. So you need an intermediate step to get some text.

But what if we just simulate a fundamental embryonic cell and let it grow in a simulated womb, to see how it develops and...aww shit we don't know how the womb works either...and maybe just basic tissues in a simulated petri dish ? Idk.

"We need more and better specialized AI, and more and better super-computers."
Yes captain obvious, if we could simulate atoms, we could simulate cells. We don't have any of those capabilities right now and we already know the challenge at hand.

That's a good point, though a new service could integrate with google/facebook data (and later get bought if they succeed).
Google already has a mini-version of this with Google Photos showing pictures from 1/2/3 years ago

wait so Shield AI is useless now? Why pay for their software when DARPA has it all figured out?

Get to AGI. Use AGI to get to super-computers that can do all that if the AGI itself can't do it.

Nobody cares about GPT-Index. It's about ease of access. This is how ChatGPT became viral and made Google shit their pants.

It's less capable at doing tasks on the computer, than I thought it would be by now, but has better language capabilities.
That was a mistake on my part, I hadn't thought things through enough to realize language requires less computation, and therefore would arrive sooner.
Overall, nothings changed with the trajectory. We're still clearly on track for ASI in the 2030s.

This will be a huge success if companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple etc. makes this because people have a long relationship with them. They share a lot of personal data with them already so will be okay using this feature too (not everyone ofc). They can simply integrate the bot into their own notes app.
Suppose a random startup launches an app that can do this today, I doubt many people will trust it with their personal data. Personally I won't either.
In the long term scenario with Multimodal AIs. Google can integrate it into their Android OS. Easily access all your life updates through natural conversation with the bot. It can basically scan photos, videos, sound etc. everything. Your phone is your second brain.

We don't understand human tissues well enough to simulate them. This is why we need Ai scientists, conducting and leading experiments.
Once we understand them, cures may be obvious to the Ai's and not require simulation.

Curiosity. Everyone will know everything. You will have the answer to every question and wonder you ever had. You will know everything about every person you have ever wondered about. Everyone will know everything there is to know about you.
Power. Everything that is possible will be possible for everyone. Everyone will have the ability to acomplish anything and everything.
Convenience. You will not have to do things like write or talk or speak, rather simply think your thought and everyone will know it immediately. You will know everyone elses thoughts immediately as well.
These are just some reasons. I think there are people who will choose not to merge and disappear from existence.
Note that I am not saying these are things people WANT to do - but, rather they will do it because everyone else is doing it.
