Great thxs.: not a boring paper, a very informative graph that leads you through the rabbit hole.

Pretty far off, I’d think. You can get by on basic communication with VR translators but part of learning languages is the basic context of phrases and metaphors that can’t be conveyed easily.

If you just want to get by, we can do that now. If you want to understand, long way to go.

FSD, maybe a sporty performance boost, mobile data for streaming Netflix and whatnot... It's a fantastic business model.

I put my money on plumbers to flourish before artists, engineers, software developers.

If you covered an entire house in California, it could reasonably power 10 homes every day. If you covered a parking lot in California, it could power multiple buildings. 200 Sq km of empty Arizona desert could power the entire US right now.

Nope, a pandemic can kill people and free labor. Also early retirment, suicides, drug overdoses, low birth rates etc.

There are no new jobs, just less people to fill positions. And positions will get cut fast with AI.

Which is close to silicon cells, making them roughly equal in power, but cheaper, lighter, and more functional, along with more dangerous because of the materials in them.

There are problems with Solar to be sure, but surface area is not one of them.

Don’t read or buy into any of the crap you see on Reddit. It’s a cesspool of pessimism. People just come to complain and present doom and gloom in almost every corner. Your best bet is to go about your life without this useless information that’s overtly exaggerated just to get karma/attention. Are certain things bad? Yes. Is this the peak of human civilization since the beginning of humanity? Absolutely fucking yes. We will also keep improving significantly. There hasn’t been an obstacle that humans have failed to overcome since the beginning of our species. I’m confident in our ingenuity to keep going and become better than always. You’re young, look forward to the future but enjoy the present (emphasis on the latter).

>Imagine you are 40-something and want to go on a date looking like you did 20 years ago. This is impossible in the classical physical world but not in the quantum world, which refers to the subatomic particles that are the foundation for all reality. Miguel Navascués and David Trillo, Spanish researchers from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), conducted several studies with Austrian researcher Philip Walther and the University of Vienna’s experimental physics group. The team published papers in Physical Review X, Quantum, Arxiv, Physical Review Letters and Optica on theoretical research and experiments proving it’s possible to “accelerate, decelerate and reverse the flow of time within arbitrary, even uncontrolled quantum systems.” These unique physical processes, capable of disrupting the normal course of time, are universal: they have the same effect on all particles, regardless of their nature and interaction with other systems.

Ill play electric guitar in garage disconnected from internet with my friends :D

Lol The Chevy Bolt beat the model 3 to market too. How'd that "Tesla killer" work out? Rivian vs cybertruck will be a similar scale of embarrassment.

I honestly don't even mean to trash talk the Bolt or the rivian. But to suggest they're serious competition for Tesla is just out to lunch.

If you invest based on the fact that Elon Musk is a terrible person you're going to suffer.

<AI is their future it's not ours most parents will be retired before AI becomes a threat to their jobs

The fear that technology will displace jobs had been around for centuries. Certain types of jobs might be eliminated but others are also created.

Unemployment rate in the U.S. in the 20th Century averaged around around 6%. So far the 21st century has averaged about the same or 6%. We've been through many cases of "technology X is going to put everybody out of a job". Industrial revolution, computer revolution information age/internet etc etc. Each of these were going to cause huge unemployment yet on average unemployment hasn't changed.

I disagree about your premise. More expensive products are the ones that are planned to break. It takes a lot of money to make something work for a whole year and then breakdown. Apple is known for being more expensive than comparable products. It also leads the way in planned obsolescence.

I myself found that the mid tier prices give me good quality products without all the trojan horses associated with big companies.

> With the singularity potentially coming within the decade

No, this is a delusional statement. We are not anywhere close. Not in 20 years, probably not even in 50 years. Try something like 90 years before we even get close to artificial general intelligence.

> people need to seriously start to reconsider exactly what fields they should go into to ensure a successful career in the future

This has always been the case. But the reality is that people need to consider being more active in politics to change the economic systems we live under so that work is no longer necessary for survival.

> What do you guys think? Which degrees will be gain and lose value? What about jobs?

Skipping the obvious answer of "programmers will be the last people to be programmed out of a job."

People are always going to want to interact with real people. Any sort of human interaction service job is going to keep existing in some capacity. Therapist, teacher, physical therapist, social worker, personal trainer, and so on.

And then you have all the other jobs for people who can't afford or are ideologically opposed to the fancy robots... which is like all other jobs unless the system is changed.

You got it wrong there, AI is your future. Jobs will be lost within 10 years because of AI.

Everything is relative. It is unlikely that fusion will ever be as scalable or reliable as solar. Solar panels are so incredibly simple that they will always be more efficient than fusion in certain circumstances. That being said, it is possible that fusion would be more efficient in different circumstances where high power density is required or solar suffers from environmental issues. One is not better than the other, any more than a carrot is a better vegetable than broccoli. They are both good. For better or worse solar is shooting up the maturity ladder much faster than fusion, but fusion will get there eventually. (I hope)

>The splashdown of NASA’s Orion spacecraft last month in the Pacific Ocean may have ended the successful Artemis I mission, but humankind’s return to the moon is just getting started, and with it a fantastic opportunity for Canada.

>There is enthusiasm – and funding – for more space exploration. A $100-billion-plus lunar economy beckons, and one of the most anticipated components of that economy is space mining.

>Is this some pie-in-the-sky fantasy? No more so than establishing a base camp on the moon, which is what NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and other partners are preparing for as part of the Artemis program by the 2030s. China and Russia announced jointly in 2021 that they are planning the same.

Perovskite cells are much cheaper to manufacture than traditional silicon solar cells. The problem is they contain lead and other environmentally unfriendly materials. Peroskite cells are much thinner and could have applications that wouldn’t work for silicon.

There will be no demand. Writing prompts could be a skill at best and would become part of your job. Just another task to do. I don't think a company would hire a full-time prompt writer (and what a soul-killing job it would be). Besides, as AI progresses, it will write prompts for itself

STEM careers will be valuable. Work of AI will have to be overseen.

The odds are that he next generation will fare better than the last, as has been the case since the start of this country, with few exceptions.
