Webvan actually existed from the 90s-21 which delivered groceries but it went out of business.

The problem is that they had huge costs acquiring the vehicles and society wasn't ready for online shopping of groceries yet.

Today I buy all my groceries online. So they were right, just had the timing wrong.

eeeh I grew up in 80s-90s and looking back life is pretty much drastically different. Between 1950s vs today the difference between no computers at all, let alone internet is pretty massive.

Attractiveness will always have a lot of value. I don't see that decreasing. If anything, as other tasks and responsibilities transitioned to ai and less human intellectual input required, there will be a greater emphasis placed on beauty.

Plastic surgery methods will improve, and designer babies can be selected for attractiveness. How much improvement remains to be seen. Body parts can be grown and form induced but you still have to deal with scar tissue and invasive surgery.

If we have nanobots that can make changes at a cellular level then eventually you can look like a totally different person without the scar tissue inherent in plastic surgery and degradation of artificial implants which require recurring maintenance and replacement.

Terminator far future takes place in the 2020s though

Here's my experience:

2002: I had the internet but it was still dial up. Would get broad band in next few years. Feel phones were becoming more common but majority didn't have one yet. Also it was mainly for phone calls with maybe a few simple built in games. GPS probably existed but you needed a dedicated device. Social media in its modern form didn't exist. No video hosting sites like YouTube existed. MySpace or Facebook didn't exist yet. There were many other precursor simpler websites and forums. The internet was a foreign concept at this point to the majority especially older generations. You have to understand that at this time people were frightened about the thought of shopping online and sharing personal data online. TVs and monitors were mainly huge box crv types. Flat screen tvs existed but it was pretty expensive. Had to go to the bank to deposit checks and no online billing so I had to send checks over mail for payment for subscriptions or whatever.

2012: First year of mass adoption of smart phones which coincided with mass adoption of social media going mainstream. Tinder came out this year and the stigma against internet dating disappeared. Everyone suddenly had gps with their phones. Netflix started streaming services. YouTube monetizing became easier for content creators. This marked the start of a revolution of how people interacted and entertained themselves. Blockbuster and other movie rental places died. Strip malls which were already dying accelerated their death spirals due to competition first from Walmart and subsequently online shopping. Didn't have to go to banks as much to cash checks anymore due to mobile deposits starting. That said Direct Deposit had already chopped down on that substantially by 2002. Online payment means I practically never need to send checks over the mail.

2022: not too much of a difference from 2012. Mainly refining and maturation of things that existed in 2012 and the cultural and political impact that it led to.

Is there going to be issue with gap in knowledge due to lack of low end work?

Absolutely is a black swan event. Although black swan is supposedly unpredictable, lots of other past events that were considered black swans were predictable by a group of people. This includes WW1, the personal computer, and the internet.

The creator of the term black swan, Nassim Taleb, regards pretty much all major scientific discoveries as black swan events.

Contact someone at the state department of labor

That would be the last one

Which option? There was a limit on options so I couldn't add anymore.

I agree with this outlook

Which episode is that?

There are novelty clothes that can be changed from app. Problem is battery life.

I use mine on daily basis. Set up reminders for work and personal appointments on the run, multiple lights attached to it and voice activated or put on schedule. Can watch cameras I have set up or drop into other areas of the house to see and talk to others.

My young son cannot call me on the phone but he knows how to voice activate to drop into my office from his room if he needs me.

I am surprised it's so heavily skewed towards 20 year olds

Why is Google the best?

Wait until he realize that the main competing interpretations are that particles exist in a superposition state until 'looked' at - See Schrondinger's cat for the implications which is both alive and dead until looked at - or that every interaction has already been pre-determined and time is an illusion.

It doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about. It being unfalsifiable doesn't mean that it is debunked. It just means that it cannot be empirically proven over other competing interpretations, which also are probably unfalsifiable as well.

I actually don't favor many worlds interpretation, but that does not preclude it as there's no way to test and verify any model currently.

Additionally there are also other models of how a multiverse would exist. If the universe goes on for infinite, or if there are multiple bubble universes with own big bang/creation event which would give the same affect. All unfalsifiable btw because it extends outside the scope of any measurement that we can ever make.

They're not more likely interpretations.

A lot of scientists feel like the many worlds interpretation is the most likely interpretation just following the data.

It doesn't sound like you're that well versed on the subject.

I don't recall, within past couple of years. I've been aware of the singularity concept for far longer from other forums I frequented nearly decades ago

I think Ray Kurzweil is a bit optimistic because he wants to fall into LEV.
