Those are just papers, I don’t think there’s any correlation between papers and deployment of products.

> The journey between identifying a potential therapeutic compound and Food and Drug Administration approval of a new drug can take well over a decade and cost upward of a billion dollars. A research team at the CUNY Graduate Center has created an artificial intelligence model that could significantly improve the accuracy and reduce the time and cost of the drug development process.

I’m all for anything that can reduce the timeframe from drug/therapy creation to mass production. Excited to see where this goes.

I’m not arguing value. I’m just saying no one knows when these mythical revolutionary products will actually be in production. Could be soon, could be decades.

Wake me up when companies either stop hiring programmers and/or lay programmers off en masse.

I don’t disagree that automation will eventually affect all job sectors. It’s just a matter of when it will happen though.

I don’t things will change that much over the next 10 years. But I think a lot will change over the next 20 years. Automation is only going to increase as it becomes more affordable/practical for companies. Hopefully our politicians and business leaders are thinking about what’s on the horizon.

As far as where we are by 2099 is anyone’s guess. I hope we’ll have ASI by then. Depending on how well humanity is with ASI taking the reigns(and if the ASI is accessible for the masses), the singularity may have already occurred and the world may be unrecognizable from today’s world.

That’s funny, I think doctors okaying the tech/battle testing will be the biggest hurdles to overcome.

I think AR implants/contact lenses are at least 20 years away. Whenever they arrive, they’ll probably spam advertisements all day, so I there have to be good reasons for the average Joe to get AR contacts. The recording aspect is interesting, although that could be ripe for abuse i.e. hacking personal videos and/or creep shots.

Excited to see what therapies come up over the next century.

Hell yeah I would. Having 12 beers at (and subsequently getting kicked out of) Chili’s would be way more fun with a Bender-like robot.

I think electric cars will be widespread like cell phones around 2030. We’ll see though…

About a year at this point, I think I came here from /r/futurology. Even though I think the sentiment is way too optimistic, I still think most discussions/posters here are great.

I think it’ll be a long time before we merge our nervous system with AI, just because it will require a lot of research/advancements/testing in neuroscience/biomedical engineering.

> In future studies, Siegwart and his team are hoping to find more ways to use this new CRISPR delivery technology, including in conjunction with existing therapies. “This study…demonstrated the ability to combine multiple therapeutic agents in one nanoparticle. Therefore, we would like to use this strategy for other tumors that have similar measures to their matrix barriers and try other diseases that also have physical barriers, like fibrosis models,” Siegwart said.

Interesting. Excited to see how this plays out.

Is there an ETA on when we’ll be able to use Imagen Video?

What exactly is consciousness though? I feel like it means different things for different people.

Cool, it’ll be interesting to see what VR tech/games are available to the average consumer in 10 years.

I’m more concerned about AGI being restricted to corporations than I am global conflict impeding the singularity.

Good to know, thanks for the explanation.

I mean probably, but it’s not a big deal for 99.999% of the population anyway.

I’m not tech savvy at all, I didn’t know there was a difference between API and GPT3. But yeah, that’s why I’m not as hyped as a lot of people on here whenever AGI is created. It’s not like we’ll be able to use it (unless someone creates an open source version of it).

By proof of concept, I meant that it was something that they’ve disclosed they have, but aren’t making it publicly available for whatever reason.

If the AGI model can be applied to programs that the public can use (like GPT3), then that would be great.

Do you all think it be in the hands of a few or still in the proof of concept stage by 2032? Or do you think it will be publicly available to the average person by 2032?

Couldn’t every generation say the same thing though? Humanity was in the biggest technological revolution at the time when we learned to walk upright, then again when we made fire, then again when we learned to farm etc.

The revolutions are getting bigger and faster no doubt, but we’re always in the biggest technological revolution to date.

It’s interesting. What I’m curious about is how long until the public takes notice and understands the implications.
