If that were to happen, others would make their own AI, so rich people can't hide AI.

Gato is still being scaled up, probably resulting in proto-AGI being created in 2023 or 2024.

We likely need molecular nanotechnology before full dive VR can happen, but once that happens, it'll be possible to enable perfect hearing in many ways, including regenerating the eardrums.

I think the universe is eternal, and if I'm right, then it'll always be around, but even if I'm wrong, I'm sure that future technologies would be able to ensure that the universe continues forever.

I appreciate it, but it's fine. Hopefully my thread will be approved, even if it takes a day.

Also, while I agree that it's important to embrace AI, the future is decentralized and democratized, not centralized by any company, let alone a company that preaches "ethical practices", when in reality, they happily censor for China and want control over AI.

I just made a thread about Shutterstock and the centralized stock imagery industry in general, which isn't showing up because all of my threads on this specific subreddit have to be approved by mods (I can post threads fine on other subreddits) and nobody ever explains why that is for whatever reason, but basically, this is a pathetic attempt by Shutterstock to stay relevent when they as a company and their industry are irrelevant and will soon be replaced by decentralized AI.

Exponential growth won't slow down; the accelerating technological progress that's been happening non-stop this year in the area of AI will soon lead to automation taking over literally all jobs, and by soon, I mean this decade, so some type of basic income has to be implemented (until the nanofactory is created, which will make money obsolete).

2025-2029. It'll probably be guaranteed basic income that's implemented.

There won't be money in the future that has nanofactories.

Corporations are already shitting themselves at the prospect of AI music synthesis and the same most definitely applies to AI in general; they know that their control over damn near everything will soon be over and they hate it, but I'm happy that corporations will become completey worthless in the near future as a result of the democratization of technologies that far surpass the bullshit sold by the rich.

The world sucks in a lot of ways, but it's still statistically better than ever before, and we're on a positive trajectory thanks to accelerating technological progress.

Technology will enable everyone to be self-sustaining, so I don't buy a dystopian future.

Neocortex enhancement is by far the most exciting future development that people can think of right now because anything beyond qualitative differences is currently completely unknown.

2024, which is also my answer for most synthetic media predictions, as that's the year I think AI will become so advanced that people will use AI to create their own personalized entertainment.

I can't even keep up with Google's AI progress anymore, let alone AI progress in general.

Keep the open source AI coming.

Nobody knows what the future has in store, but I truly think it'll be beyond paradise.

Once we... get ready for it... I'm about to say my catchphrase... ENHANCE OUR NEOCORTEX... we'll have qualitatively different everything and that'll result in intelligence so beyond what we currently know that we'll transcend the word and even the concept of intelligence itself.

I was thinking of kinesthesia and proprioception, but after further research, I learned there's even more senses. I recommend watching this video detailing more senses.

The groundwork has to be made for any technology to be created, and enabling "the nervous system to receive a different response to the real stimulus" sounds like impressive progress to me, even though there's still clearly a lot of work that has to be done before full dive virtual reality can be developed.

Also, I'm "hella" excited for full dive VR, and assuming the worst case scenario is inevitable (which I think is unlikely) is just a lazy way to justify not thinking about it for whatever reason. All technologies have risks, so it's important to make them all as safe as possible.

Well said. There's no way there'll still be any economic systems post-singularity.

"It's like 'hacking' the nervous system to receive a different response to the real stimulus sent."

Now if only this was possible today for all of our senses, then we'd have full dive virtual reality.

But this is important progress towards that goal. I'm excited to experience this myself.

The argument that AI will create jobs like in the past is insane considering that AI will do everything; it's as stupid as saying iPods will forever be in vogue despite the smart phone.

The only reason most people work is to have basic necessities; when AI speeds up molecular nanotechnology research and creates a nanofactory, we'll have those things (plus more) anyway.

Even in the absurd hypothetical scenario of people wanting to do manual labour outside of a legacy simulation via full dive virtual reality for the pure novelity factor, who would hire them? Corporations will be obsolete at that point.

The general public largely has no idea that AI is going to change everything within a few years.

It's sad there isn't unnamous support for worldwide implementation of universal basic income.

Make no mistake about it: no job is "automation-proof"; AI is experiencing exponential growth, meaning that any flaws that you think will prevent AI from reaching AGI and beyond in the near future will be solved imminently.

Every year, there's more AI progress than the last, and that will continue indefinitely; the rate of acceleration is accelerating, and while that might sound oxymoronic, it's true, regardless of the skepticism regarding AI and technological progress in general.

Speaking of AI skepticism, it won't persist forever, because AI will soon advance to a point where it becomes impossible to rationally dismiss it, and the focus will shift from "it's impossible" to "it's dangerous", and when AI is used to benefit everyone and everything, then people will enjoy life instead of the fearmongering that historically happens with literally all technologies.

Literally every job will be automated in the near future.

As for how the fields will change when AI takes over all of them, we'll finally get all of those cool technologies that people have been reading about for years that never left the lab before, so for example: medicine will be so advanced that it'll actually cure illnesses instead of treating them.
