How do plumbers, pilots and lawyers retain complex information for their jobs. Same as everybody else..

There will never be portable media again because it costs money to produce and distribute. Streaming services are far cheaper to distribute and bandwidth will continue to improve.

Really? There is an amazing amount of research going on every day all over the world. Rightfully it takes a lot of time and testing to bring new therapies to mainstream use. Go back just 20 years and look at how far things have come, immunotherapy, gene therapy, hpv immunisation to eradicate cervical cancer, better diagnosis, screening and drugs.

This entire post is moral panic. Are any of you teenagers? They are negotiating a world that we don't understand and they communicate with each other very differently than most of us ever have. If a teen is comforted by an AI then so what? This generation feel far more comfortable texting than talking. They won't go to counsellors and helplines like previous generations, they will increasingly go to AI and hand wringing won't stop it. We need to help them navigate.

This is like people looking at the Wright Brothers and saying we'll never get to the moon. Less than eighty years later..

Of course AI will exceed every human capability. How can it not?

Technically possible but practically (and politically) impossible so what's the point of the speculation?

Look around. Is everything terrible? No. Doomscrolling is a sickness. If you had never been online in your life would you be fretting about everything? Probably not.

Just a horrible idea. For what possible purpose? Skip ahead a few generations, hey wanna talk to my dead great great grandfather? Ugh.

Businesses do not do anything without a profit motive. Government can make all the calls they want but it's the risk of devaluing real estate that is driving the return to work.

Really? Like they've regulated the internet?

They. The government? Somebody in the government is contacting private businesses to get staff back in the office? Absolute bollocks. The key reason is the level of investment, debt or long term leases that organisations have in commercial real estate that is being underutilised. Not rocket science and not a conspiracy.

Sounds good, I never liked Dave.

Fair point, but unless AI has lots of different opinions we'll still seek out platforms like this. If I wanted a single view I'd talk to my wife.

We don't know who's human now, if the content is engaging what's the difference?

Do you feel emotion? It's just a mix of chemical and electrical signals..

Technically yes. Psychologically and sustainably no.

I saw a quote - you won't lose your job to AI, you'll lose it to a person who uses AI better than you.

Humans are just algorithms. We take in content and data and produce slightly different content and data. All these comments that AI won't replace human creativity are ridiculously naive.

If this is what is out in the public domain, imagine what the real cutting edge stuff is like behind closed doors..

A hundred years is a very long time..

1. In house printable food and goods.
2. No wiring, cords or power outlets. Everything interconnected, free-charging and wireless.
3. No grid connections. Power, water everything self-contained.
4. No garages. All transportation will be air based and on demand.
5. All windows will be dimmable and add to power supply.
6. All surfaces will be self cleaning and nanobots will clean and sterilise everything constantly.

The part I don't understand about generational ships is why the first crew would volunteer. You're locked in a ship until you die and your great grandchildren might get somewhere?

Over 32% of houses in Australia have solar. Average full cost of 10kw system about $10k.

And somebody else pointed out that Abba did an avatar concert. I stand humbly corrected and deeply saddened.

Gladly, no.
