More likely by increasing birth rates with eugenic filters and euthanizing the old, sick and poor since they are generally net negative inputs on budgets.

For some, it may be an immersive experience reality sooner than you think.... and those immersed in simulated may not even know it!

And the graphics resolution is AMAZING!

both options will be available. just like uber and taxis are available right now.

but cars will suffer the biggest change. the part for humans will be separated from the rest of the car because there won't need to be a connection between human and motor, and those human parts will be safer. if you are a big company, dealing with thousands thousands of cars daily, it will be better for repairs and cleaning the human used part in a facility specially for that purpose.

also, expect byo-metrics to be the way you can use these kind of services. iris, finger/hand print, face recognition, even dna match in the foreseeable future. say goodbye to body privacy.

By definition, baseline reality is excluded. Non-answer.

Nope, we'll have NAND media like the Switch game SSD's. You'll have a miniaturized case just like the switch and a tiny little pinprick of a NAND data device with a movie on it. As long as there are old people there will be physical media.

I don't get the question. All data, even if remote to us, is stored on or backed up on physical media.

> Having a physical copy you can fall back in is the hedge against these risks.

The way I see it; it's not about digital versus physical. It's digital vs piracy.

If something I bought digitally is taken away from me, there are ways for me to take it back by force if necessary. Corporations need to understand that they are not fighting piracy, they are competing with it.

Yeah. I have felt that we are in the "age of ai" probably for the last 5-10 years, as things have been ramping up. And nowadays I'd say most startups in tech are either built primarily around AI or are deliberately using AI somewhere in their product.

AI is an accelerator and a powerful tool. As a software engineer I'm very much looking forward to ai-assisted tooling to aid in software development. There are some IP/legal hurdles still to be cleared I think but I do think it's here to stay.

Good question. I am highly convinced it is too late, for this incarnation of homo sapiens on Terra, as evidenced by the Sixth Great Extinction and the Climate Holocaust we are fully engulfed in now. But maybe our life forces will get another chance on some other plane of time and space.

The Grand Experiment must go on.

Then the question is, when are we getting one layer deeper?

Answer: We already have it. We're living it, right now.

I just hope it’s done well and far less people own cars so far less roads waste our resources and space.

I am a sysadmin, I use it to write simple(ish) powershell and SQL - it does this quite well.

I also used it to look at what Azure Components are needed for a specific project by giving it details, it did it better than the architecht that was assigned to this.

We needed another employee, I'm not a person who writes formal job descriptions - but ChatGPT did it better than the IT Recruiter that was assigned to it and they ended up using my JD from ChatGPT.

My job is easier, but stil requires in depth subject matter knowledge to know what you want the tool to do.

Fact checking a comment on Social media or reddit is another good use case.

No you dont understand it apparently let me make it clear to you "a UBI system only works when the income you get covers your basic living costs" this means if 250 or 250.000 covers the basic living expenses that is the amount you get. You cant hang a price point on ubi right now because it adjusts based on the cost of everything.

Your argument of "that doesnt cover it" is honestly just dumb.

I agree, it’s very up in the air.

I just find it funny how many people with 0 SE experience or mathematical background is telling us we are wrong 😂 especially since I studied AI and suddenly these overnight professionals who were mocking AI 5 years ago are acting more knowledgable. What a world we live in.

Not really a big deal, the US made something decades ago called SHIVA STAR for similar ideas, and that line of research was largely abandoned in favor of MARAUDER toroidal plasma research.

Exactly. Now, there are some caveats. Perhaps there is a gap between ai replacing "some" software engineering roles and "all" software engineering roles and during that time other jobs will continue.

Maybe the last 10% will prove difficult for ai. Who knows?

The bigger story here is not that jobs are being replaced. That's just hype from people who don't understand the nature of those jobs. At work we look at gpt3 as an interesting toy. It's definitely impressive but it's often quicker to write our own code.

The bigger story is that chatgpt is showing a lot of promise and will change the world, giving us powerful tools to either build things faster, or achieve more than we could before.
