we always overestimate progress in the short term (10-20 years) and we underestimate progress in the long term(30-50 years)
I have no idea how I’ve gone this long without discovering this channel, but I’m so grateful to have found you. Thank you for sharing such amazing content—this was incredible!
“That’s impossible” as I write from my pocket super computer to speak to strangers from around the world watching videos from a platform that would have been unfathomable in 1998
In the 80's i read a book that said we would terraform mars by 2000. We are no where near that, so this is very optimistic.
Neuralink will allow us to merge our minds with AI. Don't underestimate how rapid AI superintelligence will come! We live in an incredibly important part of history.
I don’ expect us to be here that long to see any of this. ❤
No matter how advanced the technology is and how convenient life becomes, what is most important for people is that they live in a peaceful era. If technological progress leads to a huge technological gap between different countries, it is likely to lead to war. Therefore, the future is not necessarily wonderful just because of its advanced technology.
I’m saving this video to go back to over the years to see how accurate it was. Should be interesting
You'd have to include various planetary disasters, pandemics, wars and other setbacks - if there is a singularity, it won't be available to everyone, no matter how inclusive it gets - there'll always be some that reject the dominant paradigm. This scenario completely leaves out the cussedness of things and the vagaries of human nature, otherwise called Murphy's Law.
I think this video is actually quite accurate with one exception, the timeline. Technology and emerging fields usually take much longer than anticipated to become integrated into society.
Overly optimistic. We'll be lucky if we aren't reverted back to stone age living in the next 25 years.
Too many people nowadays are scared to death of any kind of intellectual growth so I’m curious to see what type of effect this will have on AI technology 🤔
I know this is merely speculation about humanities future, but damn does it make me excited. Who knows, I might come back to this video 200 years from now and say, "this video got it right"
LIKE IT OR NOT ITS COMING AND I CAN'T WAIT
Predictions in 1924: In 100 years from now, you can teleport instantly to any place in the world. Reality in 2024: "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS! THEY'RE EATING THE CATS!"
WAY too optimistic. It’ll be a wonder if we don’t destroy ourselves by 2040. And if AI’s really become sentient by 2050, how long will it be until the AI’s figure out that humans are the problem and the fictional movie “The Terminator” becomes reality?
This is exactly the sort of advice I've been searching for. Thanks for sharing!
Hello from the future! 💖
I love the ending, very clever 😉
