You are completely wrong. Sex robots and VR will completely replace human sex. I think you underestimate how much better will it feel.

For example as societies get older, they need more automation. In the past there were slaves and serfs. In the 21st century we need robots and intelligent systems to take care of things. Do you want to do things by yourself for the rest of your life or do you prefer robots and computers taking care of (at least some of) them?

Solution: make humans better before AI becomes extremely powerful.

We'll see. I hope that enormous prosperity and satisfaction happens. It's possible. I'm rather optimistic, but I think hardware will be limiting what is achievable. I'm looking forward to new developments.

We need them in AR glasses or contact lenses.

Singularity ≠ human level AI

I want huge open-world games with very good graphics set in some chosen anime worlds for example.

Danbooru is getting criticism for AI that was taught on it. That's not fair, it's not Danbooru's fault. Anyway, I'm going to wait a few years until AI can actually rival good artists. I don't want the Web to be flooded with millions of mediocre and similar AI "artworks".

I don't assume that. I don't know. What we need the most are better tools. Not necessarily conscious AIs.

The longer I live, the further away the Singularity seems. I don't understand how you guys can possibly think it will happen before 2045. I think if it happens at all, it will happen no earlier than 2065. Either you have a different definition or you don't understand progress. I'm optimistic. I think the future will be gradually better. Without some overly crazy stuff. But we will gradually get wealthier, live longer, healthier and be happier. I saw for example how much faster is RTX 4090 from 3090 in AI. It's only 60 to 70% faster after 2 years. That's certainly nothing close to what is necessary for the Singularity to be near.

Of course I would if the robot was nicer and more interesting to me than humans.

One day such assistants will work perfectly and will be in everybody's hands.

But do you know how hard it is to run modern games on Ultra settings in 4K 60fps? Let alone higher framerates. We need better hardware or some software breakthroughs. DLSS looks horrible btw.

It feels unreal, I originally thought we would need terabytes of RAM and that we would get them, thanks to Moore's Law giving us 100X in a decade. Looks like we won't even need those terabytes and low gigabytes might be enough.

How are we in "the endgame" if we've just started as a civilization? We still don't have AGI, FDVR, worker androids, FSD, commercial fusion reactors, anti-aging, cure for cancer, human augmentation, space elevators or arcologies. Let alone orbital rings, sombrero planets, Jenkin Swarms, Dyson Spheres or giant future things like that.

I believe we are the only intelligent species in this galaxy and we are destined for exponential growth. It can't be stopped. It doesn't mean the Singularity will happen in the 2030s or anything like that.

It will be cheaper than three large high-end monitors. But for now I will keep using monitors.

Such VR meetings would be certainly more interesting than looking at a 2D screen with Zoom calls. But I wouldn't want to sit for hours with Quest 2 on my head. They must make them more comfortable for using them for longer periods of time.

It's true that currently Zoom meeting are usually without cameras being on, only microphones and only when you actually talk.

I did that once 😛

In the past, people wore walkmans and discmans and even boomboxes, so it's not that farfetched to imagine people walking with glasses connected with a wire to a pocket computer, like a smartphone + wired headphones today.

Yeah, there would need to be a large shift in our culture for people to wear headsets outdoors. Unless they are like normal glasses today. I would certainly prefer to wear slick, lightweight glasses than something like Quest 2. But glasses would need outside processing, because you wouldn't put a 10-watt SoC inside glasses. I think that Apple may have an answer to the problem, we'll see. For sure M2 would not be enough.

Nice. I hope they will be releasing twice as fast Quests every 18 months, 24 months max. I also hope they will put eye and face tracking soon in every Quest unit. I hope they put Wi-Fi 7 for wireless connection with PCs. I hope they will keep reducing weight and increasing field of view, because current weight is too high and field of view is too narrow. If they will keep doing that, I may buy Quest 4 or so (assuming price stays the same).

No one will be able to convince me to like what I dislike.

AI works are getting better and better, I can see that. Still the vast majority are bad. The one you linked is good. I often see arms, hands being painted in a wrong way. I still think that it will take multiple years before AI is as good as the best artists. Stable Diffusion should be called Unreliable Diffusion or Unsteady Diffusion for now, judging by all the works I've seen and done.
