Well, I mostly meant thems outside of rslashfuturology. But since you offer. I do have a few questions.
What year will prices for everything drop precipitously as a "post-scarcity" economy takes hold in the USA? Alternatively, when will UBI be available in the USA?
What year will the first AI generated hit alt-rock song come to be. By this I mean that no humans are involved in any of the production to include composition, voice(s) and instrumentals. Think a "Chatgpt" to make music on demand.
What year will humans no longer go to flight school, medical school or law school, because the ARA, that is computing derived AI, robotics and automation, will be able to do it all. Consider this.
What year will nuclear fusion technology enter the grid? Did you know that we just launched a satellite to investigate the probability that we can exploit solar energy from space? What year will humanity become a "type 1" Kardashev civilization? Meaning, all necessary energy is derived from the sun or from the engine of stars.
What year will the first human dedicated aging reversal technology become available for humans? And an ancillary question to that. Who determines who gets aging reversal technology? Will only the rich live forever? Will the nursing homes be filled with those who cannot afford aging reversal technologies. And how will that go over with the mewling mass of humanity (Read: Me)
What do you think GPT-4 is going to bring to the table for humanity? It comes out early this year you know.
And what year do you believe a "technological singularity" will occur? My answer is all of these with the exception of the schooling for certain professions, will occur before the year 2030. Most between 2026 and 2028. The schooling may continue as late as 2035, but then it too will be gone. Why do you need a doctor, a lawyer or a flight school when the ARA does it all. And around the year 2035, all humans will be able to "do it all".
I think I got a clue what is coming. What do you think of this?
Ask me anything! ;)

Tony Seba and his think tank RethinkX believe this will happen by the end of the decade at the earliest and the middle of the next decade at the latest. It seems fantastical and far too close, but they understand exponential growth and they have a history of being right. And all of this doesn't take AGI or transformative AI into consideration. Things are about to get crazy.

Ask me anything... that is at least a bit futuristic to intriguing me. These questions are obsolete to me.

I do not understand what you are saying. Your sentences do not make sense to me. I ask you, is English your first language?
