Reply to Why are humanoid robots so hard? by JayR_97
Many reasons but mainly because the tech isnt there yet. As much as people like to hate on humanoid robots, many would accept them into their homes if the robot could do all their chores

Reply to comment by Alpha3031 in There Is Still Plenty We Can Do to Slow Climate Change by nastratin
I am not sure. Individual change needs to go hand in hand with systemic change. Individuals are also infecting other individuals, so there is a lot of theory that we won't have to convince everyone before a massive shift in our system can happen. Having 10% of the population go vegan would already be a massive unstoppable movement. Anyway, fact still remains that I dont know, but I can't just continue participating in the bullshit that we do to animals and subsequently the world .

This is a big one but with a short span the bad actors will be deprioritized.
I think this is going to be the short term problem along with blind algorythm driven information delivery.

If you watch the Elon Musk deepfakes, they're very believable.

Then cheer up, your electronics are still working just fine.
You may have just recently learned about solar storms, but they aren't new to me. Neither are supervolcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, nuclear wars, unaligned artificial super intelligence, and sudden brain aneurysms. All very nasty possibilities that thus far have failed to materialize.
There's no shortage of ways to horribly die, and I wouldn't wish them upon any decent person. I certainly wouldn't hope for one to come and stop the march of societal progress.
If it's worth anything, the longer that technology can continue to advance without one of these black swan events hitting us, the more capable we will be of mitigating or avoiding the damage.

They also thought we'd all have nuclear flying cars...
They were wrong about lots of shit.

There is no market for it or barely as of right now so no demand = no supply. The no demand might be due to the robots not being good enough yet but with little demand there is little money for innovation so it goes slow. That’s my perspective on it not an expert though so there’s probably other aspects to it

The whole printing organs business will be based on using the patients own stem cells to create the new organ. Rejection problems will not exist with this technology.

I very much hope we can do away with laptops and PCs and just dock our phones into stations with screen/mouse/keyboard.

Here you go! Would love to discuss.
As far as less than three years now, it is because of the the fantastic advances in released AI in just the less than last four months.

Keep in mind that a lot of creators of fake content will also use artificial means (bots) to boost their content's visibility/engagement. While some will fall for it occasionally, it's being amplified by fake voices.

And the liver. A lot of the functions of the liver are done on a cell by cell basis. So a big glob of cells will do at least some of the work. But it isn't a full liver replacement.

That is just the cell's self destruct flag. It minimizes the chances that the cell will live long enough to aquire enough DNA damage that it becomes cancerous.
It's the "kill me before" date, if you will. That isn't what damages cells though. Living does that:P.
