Kelp is fantastic fertilizer

Oh for sure.

Research conducted at the University of Rochester has shown that perovskites can improve the energy efficiency of solar panels by up to 250% through the use of metal and dielectric substrates.

Perovskites are a family of materials that have a very promising crystalline structure as a replacement for silicon in solar cells and detectors due to their lower cost and similar efficiency.

I never said anything about giving away all wealth or not having a job either. I don't know where you got that from. I was responding to you suggesting that gaining a foothold under the system is strategically impossible. And if you were never disagreeing with that, then you probably misunderstood what just-a-dreamer- meant by "a big share of the economic pie" (hint: it doesn't mean being ultra rich).

>With the singularity potentially coming within the decade

within 50 years, maybe

Really? What's basically a utopia where people don't have to worry about having enough money for basic needs and can just do what makes them happy, is your worst case scenario?

Edit: yes I did misread. However people are too selfish for it to ever happen.

AI is our future and the advance is exponential not linear. From 1700 to now what is the progress towards AI?

How about from 1980 to now, 2010 to now? The human genome project had nearly no progress made until after half the time spent on it. In the past three years we have seen remarkable AI since we have the hardware to support it. Human adult level AI will exist in labs in 2025, that's two years. It will be commercial by 2027, in the 30s we will achieve a level of superintelligent AI with capabilities beyond what we imagine today. Less than 10 years.

Scalability is a question of hardware to host their minds and our process with them will be one of synthesis and cooperation as all of us are better off working together. This becomes much more time consuming if we also try to build physical representation of them (compared to billions of humans), AI bodies become too much of an expense. So the reality is that likely by 2035 most remote labor will be AI, lots of paralegal, call center, managerial types of work that don't require a physical presence, data analytics, hell the stock market already uses bots.

The danger has been human. It will continue to be human. These AI will learn from us like adults but with a ferocity for learning we could never match. Who teaches and guides them determines the foundation they build from, superintelligence can easily equate super wisdom.

You underestimate the speed of technological advancement. Unless you waited to have children until you were 50, AI will make vast changes in every day life if you have children now.

Think back 30 years before there was internet. Today's computers for home use are tens of thousands times faster. Technology increases exponentially not linearly.

The AI we have today can create basic computer programs and drive your cars for you. AI in 30 years will be used in every facet of life. Think WALL-E / I-Robot.

I used to work customer service and in my experience it was very repetitive so ai could replace it just like technology has done thoughout history. In engineering i see AI being a tool just like computers, maybe it will replace relatively simple and repetitive tasks.

I asked Chat GPT what the highest paying careers would be after the singularity just now. It says to take its predictions with a grain of salt, but trends suggest:

1. AI/Robotics Engineer
2. Futurist/Strategist
3. Neuroprosthesist
4. VR Designer
5. Space Tourism Guide
6. Cybersecurity Specialist
7. BioTech Engineer
8. Energy Management Analyst

It gives short explanations for each. Same answers if I ask it most successful businesses.

I am not going to the opposite extreme. I never said anything about giving away all your wealth or not having a job. What the fuck are you ranting about lol

Replant it for carbon credits I guess

Carbon price went over 100 euro per ton for the first time recently

Edit. Found this as well

>Kelp is used to make many products: toothpastes, shampoos, salad dressings, puddings, cakes, dairy products, frozen foods, and even pharmaceuticals

>Algin, an emulsifying and bonding agent, is extracted from kelp and used in these products. Kelp is also used as food on mollusk farms

So, used to grow more shellfish

This is what I am wondering. Which path with AI go down?

>Stop reading reddit and this sub in particular. It's overwhelmingly full of pessimists

Excellent advice!

>This is the best time in history.

This is the best time in history ... SO FAR.

>No, it's not perfect, but the past was a LOT worse. Read some optimistic stuff

Very true! But you don't even have to read optimistic stuff. Just read neutral stuff, i.e. "just the facts". You'll soon learn that, in most parts of the world, this really is a great time to be alive. It's not perfect anywhere, but in most places, it's WAY better than in the past. And the future looks like it'll be even better.

It's not an alternate perspective, poetry used to be very popular, movies, tv shows etc has surpassed poetry.

11.7% read poetry once a year in the US, the average US citizen watch 141 hours of tv a month!

The scale is not comparable. Poetry was just a small comparison to make a point. I am more curious to hear how people not understanding each other is good for innovation?

hmm, the only things I want to take from this post is that there may be emotional support ai bots accompanying people in the future and I have to treat that with love and respect lol

I love it! And I do see what you’re saying. I think the main difference is a man-made reality vs the reality we’re in now.

I am a simulation theorist though, so that sends my argument out the window!

I think it’ll be really interesting to see how VR, AR, and neural implants effect psychological states. I could definitely see VR induced psychosis being really rampant

[removed]

What do you do with the kelp though? Rebury it?

[removed]

Poetry is still very popular where I live, which brings me to my point. I feel like you’re dismissing alternative perspectives without giving them adequate consideration because they don’t correspond with your personal experiences.

>What if that is the technology we need to rapidly pull emissions and carbon from the atmosphere?

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210310-the-trillion-dollar-plan-to-capture-co2

There are a bunch of different plans in the works but amusingly enough the only example we need to follow is the city infrastructure plan that Singapore has.

https://www.greenplan.gov.sg/

If we followed that, our cities would be infinitely more beautiful, sizably better for everyone involved, and would cost far less overall than our current infrastructure plans.

You're just going to the opposite extreme. The reality of the situation is that lots of people end up in a better economic situation than they were born into, and continue to gain bigger pieces of the economic pie as they develop. It's not impossible, or even that uncommon, and you'd see that if you were willing to. But it takes accepting responsibility for your own growth instead of acting like the only ones in control of your fate are government leaders and the ultra rich. It takes being able to look at yourself and think "what am I doing that isn't working, and how can I do better," rather than just thinking about how much of a victim you are to the system. I know it's hard, but if you just throw your hands up and think it's 100% out of your control, then you'll be 100% right.

Dynamically generated individualized media?

Within one language there is plenty of jargon and it constantly developes to fit the needs of the user.

This always happens with cultural, people confuse the function of a language (to communicate) with something special in of itself.

A good example is theater, theater used to be the dominant form of long form narrative entertainment, it was one of the best ways to satisfy the need people felt for this kind of entertainment. Now it's movies, or even tv-series. Poetry used to be very popular, now we moved on. How do you know that innovation is driven by different languages? The lingua franca of science is English and the majority of innovations are published in English.

If 10 people in a room all speak the same language, 10 people in the other room speaks all different languages, which group has the best chance of trading ideas?

Innovation comes from the the mixing of ideas, this is best understood if people can understand each other. Science would not be were it is if there were not a common understanding, that's actually one of the first thing you learn. Jargon, you learn the language of your discipline, to better understand previous knowledge and to communicate your ideas to others.

If my teacher or professor speaks a different language than me, how does that foster innovation? It does not, cooperation comes from understanding each other, not not understanding each other.
