You have a chance to change that shortly

tru..............

man, they cant even make a computer that doesnt bug out when you hit "cancel print job."

back in the 60s people thought that by now we would have flying cars, underwater and space cities, jet packs, and shit. none of which came true.

 

[ThaChozenWun]

Well we do have jet packs. And we have the ability to make flying cars just no use for them. As for underwater cities we don't have actual cities, but there are underwater buildings, hotels, casinos, etc...

Eventually most of these things will come true, but probably not for another 150 years. Technology has a lot of bugs and glitches and can be easily hack these computer software companies or whatever have to tighten up their security and fix the glitches ETC.

I agree, I don't see it happening in 34 years. At some point during that time we're going to have to focus much of our research, time, and energy into solving the energy crisis around the world. We have to try and stop our greenhouse output we just have to or we won't be around long enough to see a bionic human. Our power grid is going downhill fast, the next couple years the sun will be the most active it's been for 15 years, our power grid is in extreme danger of going down during this time and our satellites, that alone will take 10 years to fix if it happens.

jet packs have existed since the 60s. what im saying is, people thought these things would be in common use like in the Jetsons. much of what was predicted 50 years ago did not come true, and much of came true was not predicted. no one saw twitter, facebook coming.

 

[Swiffness!]

I bought that Time. Interesting stuff.

But if we're really inventing super-intelligent A.I like they're saying? Yeah, I'd worry about that.

Well because no one had any remote idea of something called the internet coming into existence. The internet kind of slowed progress I believe, it made too many people lazy bums.

i wouldnt mind being immortal. I just want to travel and destroy other worlds . NO JOKING EITHER Hernado Cortez style

[TheCATthatdidntDIE]

living forever sounds so tedious. life is only important because we die.

Perhaps these AI's will develop a way to travel through intergalactic space faster than the speed of light. If that happens biological humans can be shipped to habitable planets, thus a solution to over population.

Same thing I was thinking, human AI's may not have to worry about radiation, lack of oxygen, inertia, etc... that comes with space travel.

Thats true. If these super intelligent computers do out pace human intelligence than perhaps they can create a technology that will enable faster space travel. We as biological humans could use the technology to transport ourselves to habitable planets. I also think there is something to the recent findings of 500 million potentially habitable planets by Kepler. With the exponential growth of AI inhabiting other planets may not be that far fetched or far away.

Well if we would be able to take a person, and turn them into some sort of AI, we wouldn't need to try and discover a quicker alternative. If a human is AI, they're immortal, just need the parts to change to keep them fresh and working. I believe the closest inhabitable planet right now would take 330 years to get to, now that's a long time, but if you're immortal, and can start up a large enough traveling space station it would be no problem to travel to another planet and start. It would help to be quicker and alot less boring lol, but it wouldn't be required. Plus I don't think it would be artificial brains ran off computer chips. It would be an later down the road artificial body with the human retaining their brain.

The possibilities are endless. I do see what your saying and it was mentioned in the article. Taking our consciousness and implanting it into to a machine to make......well a cyborg. My only question then after would be--with our conciousness in the machine are we still ourselves?
