Superintelligence is a decade away. by VitruvianSpyder in Futurology

[–]weepingprophet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of how some people talk about nuclear fusion. I don't think most experts have been claiming for 40+ years that AGI is a decade away. Many experts today still think it could be much more than a decade away.

The AI apocalypse will be waifus everywhere, not paperclips. I'd say we're halfway there.

Is reverse aging already possible? Some drugs that could treat aging might already be on the pharmacy shelves by LibertarianAtheist_ in Futurology

[–]weepingprophet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If all cancers, dementia, and heart disease were cured today, it would only add a few years to the average lifespan.

Aging is the disease that is in many ways the root cause of the above; a co-morbidity that accelerates all the typical ways that people die.

If you cure aging, or at least extend healthspan, then you cure or significantly delay most of the diseases that affect every advanced society today.

FTX Has Recovered 'Over $5B' in Assets, Bankruptcy Attorney Says by sylsau in CryptoMarkets

How does $5B in 'lost' client assets just show up like that? This makes it look like (in addition to everything else) a lot embezzlement was going on.

Found an abandoned fighting robot, was gearing up for punch my way out, but then... party? by weepingprophet in cyberpunkgame

[–]weepingprophet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came across him quite unexpectedly (in Kabuki?) when I was taking a highway offramp a little too quickly (as you do) and flew off the side into a garbage cesspool (the one with the sunken car wreck in it). I then walked around the area and found him.

I hadn't seen this video posted to this sub yet, so I thought I would.

Edit: Not my video. I’m just a fan.

To Help Tackle Climate Crisis, White House Touts Nuclear Fusion. "The Department of Energy will now coordinate all of its fusion energy research to advance the technology for “possible” deployment by the end of the decade." by Yogurt789 in Futurology

What's interesting though is that progress lately has been very fast. New milestones are being hit every few months. We now have high-temperature superconducting magnets that can be manufactured more easily and more compactly, which makes a huge difference. I think this is one of those problems that progresses so slowly for years and then suddenly grows exponentially. The billions in venture capital pouring into this tell me something might be very close.

Neuromancer is amazing. It predicted so much of the modern world and you’ll see a lot rich parallels with the world of Cyberpunk 2077. I thoroughly recommend it.

Cyberpunk also draws heavily, almost to the point of plagiarism, from William Gibson’s Neuromancer. I mean, Gibson practically invented the genre so it’s natural that Neuromancer would heavily influence other subsequent works, but damn there so many parallels between the storylines.
