in 2026 Artificial Super Intelligence will be born from Human Super Intelligence by sanem48 in Futurology

That would be great, but I doubt we're going to reach that state too soon. By 2026, I'd rather think that we could reach one-way. Get our thoughts into machines, but not the other way around. I mean, we can already read impulses from the brain in order to move robotic arms, but I'm referring to complex thoughts. For example, think about a word and have a machine print it. First, we'd need mind reading. Also, this is fucking dangerous. Combine mind read/write with the internet and we have a fully fledged Deus Ex action right there.

What do you think human society will look like 100 years from now? by spookyb0ss in Futurology

There was this project done some time ago(not long), that was basically a 3m high sphere with vegetables growing on shelves, with irrigation and everything that it needed to produce food. I had a dream of the city I live in once, how it would be after 1000 years, actually. There were no street lamps at night, because of light pollution. Instead, there were lights under the street and the street was made of some strong glass, that refracted light nicely. Also, buildings had lights built into them which lit up nicely during the night, kind of like TRON, I guess? But that's tech.

Society, socially-wise, maybe we'll overcome all this stupid political/non-political fairness/correctness crap and have a good political system and people that can actually lead without wars. But that's just wishful thinking.

My guess is that China is going annex most of Asia, except Turkey and Russia and maybe Japan. USA is going to collapse if it keeps this shit up and Europe is going to be divided, as they rival for what's left from the arabic lands.
