How far do you think various technologies are from today?
| Cybernetics
Genetics modification
DNA modification
These are more important nowdays
Artificial intelligence
Virtual reality
This is just for while
A.I. explosion
Then we need make better hardware
Pentabites hexabites GPUs
what we waiting for?
| As soon as there are massive advances in machine learning Musk will have a breakdown and start his own colony on the moon
| All of those tech are quite far off.
AI, it is not what people think it is as they evision Synthetic Intelligence.
VR, you'd think 3d tv would have been omnipresent, yet it turned out to be a fad and very disapointing and uncomfortable for many.
LE,... yawn.
Cybernetics. The cyberpunksters love this but it is still only a Gibson dream.
Genetic mods. This is somewhere, as there already exist geneticaly modified organisms and synthetic DNA chains.
| DNA mods. This goes hand in hand to the genetic mods. It is something that has been achieved in very simple forms. It is actually impressive how they have crafted some DNA chains by replacing CATG with CATU and the resulting thing still does not fall appart and functions!
| >>278570 of course, by 2024 right? What was I thinking, Dennis Hope has already sold on the moons real estate to John Travolta and Ronald Reagan
| AI: Already here. But Artificial Super Intelligence? 200+yrs. Synthetic intelligence, aka practically sentient but not supergenius level, 100yrs.
VR: like Holodeck style VR? Honestly probably even further than AI. 150 yrs. For something like Ready Player One? 60 yrs.
LE: This is medicine and health science. This is constantly occurring throughout human history and will continue to occur. However, living beyond 120 while retaining good health is 70 years away at least I'm guessn.
| Cybernetics: again this already exists to a reasonable extent. To reach levels where we can control computers purely via thought - 80y. This will probably coincide closely with Generalized AI development.
"upgrading" body parts instead of just replacing damaged ones - 30 years. But a culture where enough people actually want to do it to make it into an industry? 45yrs.
Genetics modification: Dunno. Hope this is way later. Would surely exacerbate classism and perhaps slavery.
| >>278637 agree with this and all of>>f1a912 's posts. It will not be long before we see all of these things in there simplest forms. But they will not be perfected or reach even half their potential for centuries.
Think of how long we've had printing technology. Yet only recently has foil inlay and extremely high DPI printing become possible. We are still making new advancements in the 2D printing world. It will be the same OPs items. They are fields more than single techs.

Do you think the A.I. explosion will speed up the technological wheel?
