  1. 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.

  2. Power. Everything that is possible will be possible for everyone. Everyone will have the ability to acomplish anything and everything.

  3. 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.

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.

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.

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.
