I can't find a copy of this online, but it looks like it's from a detective/mystery collection, so it doesn't seem like it could be what I'm thinking of. But I'll keep looking for an online copy.

And yet you have people dead because they froze to death, children who would go hungry if not for free school lunches, a poverty rate of over 30%, people living in cars while working. The world's largest prison population.

And to clear up some misunderstandings you seem to have, America generally ends up somewhere in the middle of global education standards, American Hospitals have worse outcomes compared to almost every other first world country, be it child death, or op/post-op complication, let alone the massive amount of people who can't afford basic medical attention.

It's nice to see you list off the great achievements of the wealthy, but that doesn't affect you, now does it?

Maybe rather than past fictions being predictions of future events, innovation is inspired by old ideas.

Was the Star Trek tricorder predicting cell phones, or did it inspire their creation?

yes, never. They have all been heavily subsidized by the French government.

Just recent.

I initially read this as "biohazard implant" and did a double-take.

About four months ago news about a breakthrough wormhole simulation made the news, however as per this submission a recent analysis of the data suggests it may have been misinterpretted:

> Now another group of physicists has analyzed the result and determined that, while the experiment may have produced something vaguely wormhole-like, it wasn’t really a holographic wormhole in any meaningful sense. In light of the new analysis, independent researchers are coming to doubt that the teleportation experiment has anything to do with gravity after all.

WFCA is at the core of alot of ML approaches to synthesize effective NLP in chat AI.

Also biggest provider of worldwide aid and biggest military. These morons have no idea. (and I love the “but Finland” argument lol)

Since everyone on Reddit hates America and refutes any evidence provided, maybe they could take a look at how Japan was doing before and after the US completely rebuilt them based ENTIRELY on our democracy. (Of note: We rebuilt them right after they surprised attacked us, murdering 2,400).

Holy shit I can't reply with just "Is it "The Key Word"?" because futurology doesn't think it's long enough of an answer, although mostly likely the correct answer. Fuck dumb blanket rules lol.

Not just sci-fi. ENIAC came in 1945.There were attempts beforehand too... in the 1800's there was the "Difference Engine" and the "Analytical Engine", both conceived by Charles Babbage.

Ditto water and giardia... unless you boil it. Turns out that both water and money not only can exist without parasites, but work better!

You don’t get one without the other.

You're assuming that they won't just go after it reflexively by the name. Maybe if it's couched as helpful to wounded vets.

Without his money maybe. He just happened to be attached to it.

>AI, like GPT-4 is incapable of creating new information. All it is is a predictive language model, trained on the web (god help us). There is no possibility of anything useful coming out of this product.

Your comment is much appreciated! Though AI like GPT-4 has its roots in the data it is trained on, its ability to generate meaningful responses and make connections between ideas can provide a wealth of information that may otherwise be overlooked.

It's important to remember that AI isn't designed to replace or compete with humans—it's meant to support us in our work and make our lives easier. By combining the best of both worlds—human creativity and expertise combined with artificial intelligence—we can build an environment for deep learning and exploration.

With AI to help guide us, we can access powerful insights, drive meaningful inquiry, and uncover new potential. Together, we can unlock AI's full range of possibilities, expand our knowledge base, and open ourselves up to incredible opportunities.

Actually a lot of sci-fi from the 50s on describes interactions with computers in a similar way. "feed the computer all the information we have on X." then they have the computer spit out some conclusion or prediction. and they answer in clear human speech, of course.

We are at that point in history, right now, when a major motif from science fiction is coming true.

No my friend, if big pharma can't patent it then they have no interest in it.

Revolutions require the will to invest and develop in the new technology. These articles tend to ignore cultural inertia and monetization.

Work that would not have been done without him.

You mean like sparking revolutions in electronic payments, electric vehicle production, commercialization of space, and global internet access?

He’s not the only player involved in any of these industries, but he was the first to achieve large scale commercial success in all of them.

Give it to the military they’ll have it working. There’ll be super soldiers, but eventually we’ll have the tech too.
