What's the next tech revolution(s) that will fundamentally change how humans live? And how soon should we expect it to arrive?
The possibilities are overwhelming. It makes possible stuff like hardcore space exploration and colonization and eternal life.
I think will take some 200 years to begin.
Gavin Gonzalez
Is this something that's seriously considered doable/actively studied?
Carter Carter
ASI, robots, and eugenics within 10 years
Literally everybody lives like kangz
Justin Morales
Only theoretical. But if the materialistic/behaviorist hypothesis of the human mind is right, that consciouness is just a extremely complex process of information processing, it's just a matter of time to we understand this patterns of calculation.
Benjamin Collins
>materialistic/behaviorist hypothesis Nigga you better not imply that materialistic = behaviouristic view of the mind.
Josiah Bennett
Why? Materialistic (i.e. physicalistic determination) is perfectly compatible with behaviourism.
Gabriel Hernandez
these probably robots like drones first because
1: it will be difficult to code ASIs to have motivation and remain stable, they need humans to code that in, they will be meme simulations of organic brains and if either succeed it might go haywire and end up as a dead end
2: genetically modifying humans (eugenics?) will take a generation after it is implemented before it starts to have an effect, even so it will only be a minority of the population and people will be hesitant to implement new improvements without testing
robots by contrast are basically already here

The EU will fall apart, but the EEA will survive.
Owen Mitchell
With the sudden advancement we have made within the last 300 years, is there a worry that we haven't been able to fully adapt to the rate of change caused by our rapid advancement?
Luis Brooks
Eternal life/mind uploading
Please please please I'm fucking terrified of death
Austin Evans
But if you uploaded your mind wouldn't that be another person/entity?
William Cook
Technocracy
Henry Young
only a few predictions I have
-all money will be digital and paper money and coins will go away
-we will go into a sort of neo-dark age where technology just becomes retarded gadget toy shit instead of any meaningful advances. All major cities will become Blade runner tier cyberpunk shitholes of diversity and violence
-fringe politics will become more and more relevant and more violent. they will all suck
-China will collapses in on itself and it will be fucking brutal
Nicholas Nguyen
There are papers on the feasibility of brain scans for example, and research groups dedicated to predicting the impact of uploaded minds.
Daniel Rivera
You can always rely on a Ming-plosion
Lincoln Green
>-all money will be digital and paper money and coins will go away We're basically there already, I go entire months without withdrawing any cash. I only need change for vending machines.
Gavin Lopez
Not to mention entire economic sectors like most of finance or drug dealing that stopped using coins entirely decades ago.
Landon Sanchez
WE SHALL BECOME GODS MY BROTHER!
Jayden Diaz
With increased complexification comes increased resource consumption.
You're operating off of a linear, progressive model of history that necessitates a kind of quasi-religious faith in some sort of singularity end-point.
The next true tech revolution is going to be when our descendents assemble the leftover remnants of the Digital Revolution into some sort of workable community-oriented decentralized agricultural system.
Christopher Cox
Sexbots will be a reality within the next 25 years, lads. Put suicide on hold.
200+ years: 1.Nation states become comparable to what the HRE was in medieval Europe - loose unions of semi-independent territories. Places like Hong Kong, New York, London become de-facto city states. 2. Social inequality becomes much worse and vertical social mobility is almost impossible. Noble birth becomes the key factor of success in life everywhere. 3. As a result of 2., democratic institutions are reduced to a mere formality everywhere. First world nations and political entities within them become crony capitalist systems openly controlled by a handful of noble families, the rest are either permanent war zones like modern Afghanistan, or autocracies ruled by hereditary dictators. 3. Advanced off-world mining for rare earth metals, but no permanent human settlements outside Earth. Maybe a few dozen people working on research stations on the Moon and on Mars, at most.

Indeed.

Immortality with that we'll colonize other planets even without FTL

Literally the end of humanity, and the beginning of, something else.
As for how soon, depends on if some rogue nation decides to an airborne CRISPR retro virus to mutate everyone to their liking, or whatnot.
Also: (but at least it's better than the 100th /pol/ thread.)

Blake Bell
>Probably mind uploading.
Bitch pls. We don't even know what causes consciousness, let alone if it's possible to transfer it somewhere.
Colton Sullivan
Artificial intelligence, quantum super computation, and advanced genetic engineering. All around the same time.
Grayson Martin
>decentralized >agricultural >system
LOL!
Ethan Howard
This, with decentralized power facilities too. A much narrower gap between civilization and plant life is required though.
Dude, what the fuck, I also had a glimpse of the autocrats era.
Noah Evans
>upload your mind >your brain is still working >you didn't actually become a computer >there's just a computer that thinks exactly like you >you still die
Anthony Morgan
You'll never be that computer, but that computer will have been you.
Better than just dying I guess.
It's actually, literally (a) reproduction.
Daniel Martin
3D printed goods will replace to a certain extent mass produced goods, disrupting the contemporary economic model.
Austin Parker
This is pretty much how I see it happening and no way around it being possible. Once we realize that, we can focus on immortality, transhumanism and furryism.
Dominic Gonzalez
Yeah exactly, the decentralization of energy and the rise of small-scale DIY sustainable/natural energy to power smaller-scale localized agricultural subsistence seems almost inevitable if things get any worse
Nicholas Mitchell
You would have to transfer your neo-cortex to some kind of life support system in order for it to be "you". Assuming you are even the same person you were 10 years ago, or even 5 minutes ago.
I am guessing nanomachines which can modify neurons to be more resilient, pluck them out and and put them on a circuit board with life support systems or something, but this is far beyond us.
Also machines are probably philosophical zombies since they run on discrete 1s and 0s.
Ian Parker
that's just the delocalization of mass production.
can you 3d print a 3d printer?

Eli Rodriguez
Most probably, eventually, yes. The issue's going to be ensuring the natural resources are all divided up reasonably.
Ian Baker
>Nuclear war would end advanced life on earth Sure thing faggot, mind explaining how with a shoddy nuclear winter theory we can't prove, and warheads which at their BIGGEST cannot destroy a big modern city, we're going to wipe out humanity?
Ian Ross
The energy revolution you fucking retards. We have all the sufficient scientific knowledge to improve our material lives in every possible way that has relation to energy supplies, but the existing established elites of the West are all intimately linked with oil, and in particular, Russian oligarchs. The carbon bubble is probably going to pop in your life time, and along with it will go Russia and Saudi Arabia, and the U.S will be significantly weakened. It appears that India, China and some Western European countries are actually making attempts at eluding the bubble's burst while countries like the U.S are polarised by basic facts

>the nationalists wins, BTFO all the thirld world waste back to their shitholes, economic boom, missions to start colonies in space, start of universal income as 99% of the economy is run by computers & robots
or
globalists win, importation of thirld world waste intensifies, Europe and NA turns into south africa where there's small enclaves of europeans which isn't literal warzones, eventually western civilization collapses due to lack of maintenance/preparation towards emergencies (long term planning)
The nips and gooks might be able to continue the legacy of the west forward, if not, wait until the next extinction and the human race is wiped
