Human nature will not have changed.

On the science side, we’ll see more renewable energy, probably also fusion.

On the tech side, we won’t have computer chips in our brain yet.

On the climate side, we’re fucked and will be talking about keeping it below 2 degrees.

AI will have advanced even further, no idea how far. I’m not expecting AGI in 30 years, but I am expecting it to pass the Turing test.

Medicine will be showing signs of incredible progress. Molecular biology and protein design is the key to curing any disease.

China tried to invade Taiwan, failed, and collapsed.

Someone used a nuke. Iran, Pakistan, Russia…I don’t know. Someone.

Most people will be fine. The world will not have ended.

Ambitions of space travel will have dampened again. We made it to Mars, then remembered that it’s just an orange rock with no atmosphere or magnetic field. Well…maybe someone made a space hotel, or has dreams of an orbital colony.

<Shrug> Life goes on. Or you get unlucky and your life doesn’t. Make friends and be kind to people, because we are social creatures who need those things.

I wanna screen shot this. And in 27 years find the picture and see how close you got. Lol. Seems reasonable so I agree this is a possible depiction of the future.

Honestly, the Turin test is probably going to be beat in the next five years.

How long from the Turing test being passed till it becomes public knowledge, I wonder.

At some point you have to define the test a bit further.

My personal test, I want to be able to converse with the AI for a week. And I want it to be able to impersonate an arbitrary number of personalities
