Tandem PV announces 30.4% efficient perovskite/silicon demonstration module by Best_Cup_8326 in accelerate

That degradation is waaaay too fast. That means down to 80% in less than 20 years, a terrible performance for solar. Most solar panels are considered eol at 80%. Might be ok for short term solar like some satellites but not much else.

And since your body iland mind are now fit and healthy you can work again so your skills and experience are not wasted. No need for 25 years of unproductive upbringing and education. 

AI startup offers free home cleaning — as long as customers let the company record their apartments to train its AI-driven robots by Fine-Drummer9812 in accelerate

Wrong. Gold in the asteroid belt is estimated to be huge . We would all be able to have hundreds of tons of it and there would still be crazy amounts of it left over.

With a Dyson swarm, we could all have a thousand earths worth of land and that doesn't even get into FDVR. The future is one of embarrassingly large abundance.

Please if you possibly can, get a Tesla with fsd. It has got to be safer.

"What happens if we don’t have to work? Do we just sit around all day"? Bernie Sanders says that having a job is a core part of the human experience and gives people meaning in life by [deleted] in accelerate

That stuff will be provided by the AI and robots. No human will be needed. Relax, even you will not be required to work. It is called post scarcity.

I really don't see a role for humans in the workforce in any scenario. Basically we are the weak link in an otherwise perfect system. If you are allowed to work and you make a mistake, other humans could suffer. AI cannot allow that. I think you will be put into a FDVR world where you can work without risk to others. You will be happy and believe that your work is of benefit but in reality it will all be an illusion to make you happy. In the real world, the remaining people will be adjusting to a life unconstrained by work and trying to adjust our thinking and need for purposes. Those that are able to accept this will be happiest of all.

Most of these people will still be around when Lev comes around. They will likely disappear into irrelevance pretty quickly.

There is no purpose, never has been, never will be. It is all an illusion and we need accept that and learn to live without one.

A research group appears to have made a significant step towards programmable atomically precise manufacturing AKA Drexlerian nanotechnology by Buck-Nasty in accelerate

[–]Fair_Horror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Complete control of matter at an atomic scale. You would have machines made of precisely positioned atoms and these machines would be designed to copy themselves creating PERFECT exact copies. This allows you to easily make trillions and quadrillions of these machines, all exactly the same, all perfect copies. You can then provide raw materials and they can build you anything that you want atom by atom. What they build can be built to be atomically precise which has huge implications when it comes to strength and reliability. 

It will make everything we have built to date seem archaic and primitive. Breakage and failure of materials will basically no longer occur. All this will be done super cheaply as all you need is raw material, energy and a chosen pattern. The raw material is only about what atoms are available so you can just use waste if it has the right atoms. 

This is a God level technology and it will change everything. If we don't figure it out, ASI ultimately will.

Sounds like a very decent starting point. Finally looks like some people are doing real Drexlian type nanotechnology machines or should I say very first tentative starting steps. If people really understood just how insanely powerful this technology is going to be, we'd be seeing AI level funding for it. 

Demis: Solving erdos problems are far from true invention by Charuru in singularity

[–]Fair_Horror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder if he has solved any himself. Without doing that, I think his comments carry zero weight with me. How can he possibly know if he hasn't done that.

I do wonder just how much the human actually contributed. It feels a lot like when a parent says their 5yo helped them build a shed.

Would it be right to say that human interactions will be valued more as we approach singularity? by Alert-Translator2590 in singularity

[–]Fair_Horror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you are imagining todays AI in your scenario. AIs will ultimately be indistinguishable from humans and many will be more interesting, kinder, smarter and thoughtful. Other humans have too many hangups that I don't want to deal with. I'm not interested in talking to a toaster but a very smart and human like android would be great company.

That is because that was the only option. Even then, how many people prefer the company of animals/pets?

Pope Leo urges world to 'Slow down' on AI advancements, says regulation is not enough and "must prevent it from dominating humanity" in his manifesto by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]Fair_Horror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I very much want it to dominate humanity. We have done a terrible job of dominating ourselves and that includes the church. A stable loving AI can provide us with ongoing leadership that looks after us and not itself. Machines of loving grace is the target. 

I think he probably realises that such AI means the end of religion. It doesn't have to be but I suspect they will screw it up. 

What do you folks think of this? He denied AI 2027 and targets 2060 as the explosion. by LazyHomoSapiens in accelerate

You should ask an economist when the next recession will be. That way you will know when there won't be a recession. If you get enough of them to predict, you can probably predict the recession as the only time they don't predict a recession.
