All I want is to explore the universe, Bobiverse style.

In a Neil deGrasse-Tyson Cosmosian space ship.

A ship that can camouflage, shape-shift, adjust size and time travel.

Only limit to adventure being the imagination.

My friend Fred says that programming languages will be 10x faster than now because they would have better compilers. I think graphene will arrive in computer chips. Some things will improve a lot, others less so. I am hoping for neuromorphic hardware and spiking neural networks in a decade, but we'll have to wait and see.

There’s no incentive and most rich people are not psychopaths, even if they somehow managed to accumulate all that power with no one else challenging them most of them wouldn’t suddenly decide to become comic book supervillains.

this is mostly solved already actually. All of the large image generation tools are also image _recognition_ tools, and some of them can explicitly do image-to-text as well where they can highly accurately describe an image fed to it. We just haven't seen this capability impact any consumer markets yet outside of image generation, presumably because the inference for these AI models needs a lot of compute.

Isn't computer vision pretty complicated too? To my knowledge most of what we have there is face detection and moving object detection (person bike car truck) for self driving cars. I feel like the understanding-of-what-every-object-is required for a humanoid robot to help for home chores is still also kinda far away.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s the idea that Trump’s presidency was the worst thing that’s ever happened in the world. The reality is he was a bad president but people make it into a way bigger deal than it actually was.
