It has a very high opinion of itself.

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 73 points 11 months ago

2042 and 2043 are red flags. He must really want to get elected.

[-] LordOfLocksley@lemmy.world 89 points 11 months ago

I feel sorry for the 2050 Mars colony. They obviously do something so wrong, they are wiped from all historical records, and then those posers in 2070 claim to be the first Mars settlement

[-] redbr64@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Thanks for catching that. Winners write history or something like that, I write as a drunk and lazy historian

[-] alphafalcon@feddit.de 18 points 11 months ago

Yeah there are multiple duplicates.

First AI in public office in 42 and 43

[-] thisNotMyName@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah 2050-Mars-loosers don't even manage to build a university within 10 years unlike 2070-Mars-Posers :D

2044 - Blockchain is adopted as the global standard for financial transactions.

This seems like one of the least believable to me.

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Least believable is the quantum computer one.

Because D-Wave has been selling those things for several years now. Not in 2024

[-] Kolrami@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

On the other hand, I think the following is pessimistic

2046 - The first human clone is created, opening ethical debates around the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a human clone out there.

EDIT: autocorrect

Yeah, next it'll be selling digital drawings of monkeys.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

LOL! What kind of stupid idea is that and who would be stupid enough to buy those things?

Oh. Wait a second...

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 58 points 11 months ago

Interesting how it seems to be based off of public opinion rather than technical reality. We're on the verge of predicting every extreme weather event and will have that pretty much solved in the next decade, but ChatGPT sees that ways out. Meanwhile, it sees us reversing climate change completely in less than 40 years, but the science seems to suggest we bought a one way ticket.

[-] bmsok@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

AI circlejerks itself far too often

[-] the_real_monte@sh.itjust.works 45 points 11 months ago

I like how the colonization of mars with "the first" self-sustaining city happens twice, exactly 2 decades apart

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

And how it conveniently goes over the twenty years of war waged against the Martians. This is the obvious bias of an AI programmed by the victors.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 20 points 11 months ago

AIs were elected to public office 18 years before the first one gets citizenship

[-] pantherfarber@lemmings.world 7 points 11 months ago

It's probably like that dog that was elected mayor of a small unincorporated town.

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 40 points 11 months ago

Searched for any sign of Half-Life 3.

And the answer is Nope.

Welp I'm out

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 11 months ago

All you have to do is live until 2075. Then you'll be a mortal immortal and you can wait until 2350

[-] lemmus@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

According to Elon Musk all of these things are coming next year.

[-] ShrimpsIsBugs@programming.dev 36 points 11 months ago

2044 - Blockchain is adopted as the global standard for financial transactions.

So you're telling me only 20 years until my Shiba Inu Moon Coin will finally make me rich?

[-] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago

If blockchain is adopted in any significant way, it will most likely be a coin controlled by some central institution like a bank, a government or a corporation. Shitcoins will probably stay dead.

Why is every event tied to technology? No mention of the wars we've been fighting? Global warming and its consequences?

[-] redbr64@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

ChatGPT has already accomplished the easiest task: replace social media influencers to hype itself

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

It mentioned global warming/climate change multiple times. It said one year that we cleaned all cO2 from the atmosphere fixing everything, then a decade later contradicting itself saying we are watching it, monitoring it, then later we reflect sun away to reverse it.

Waaaaaay too optimistic lol, but nevertheless somewhat interesting.

[-] victron@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Why all "historical events" are about technology?

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 20 points 11 months ago

Because it learnt that from our articles, future predictions are almost always about tech and science.

[-] MisterMoo@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

Because we live in a post-humanities hellscape.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago

Gotta love how it sometimes repeats the same point. Also, I call any predictions on us getting carbon back to pre-industrial age levels and full on ocean de-pollution happening absolute bull because greed.

As soon as we get the human sides of things like greed out of humanity, the closer we will come closer to being able to solve our problems since people won't be thinking about copyrighting the solutions so they can be the only people to sell the solution at a ridiculously marked up price.

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

Neat, though quite a few of these seem to be out of their logical order. Not that that can't happen from time to time....

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

"2065 - An AI is named CEO of a Fortune 500 company." So no more overpaid CEOs anymore then, right? Or does the savings from that just go to shareholders instead now?

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

The shareholders were replaced by ai 10 years before, the robots are our sugar daddies now

[-] AlwaysNowNeverNotMe@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

Too bad for those suckers who tried to colonize mars in 2050.

[-] EsteemedRectangle@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 11 months ago

Yea, they’ll have to wait to do it again in 2070

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

It just starts repeating the same things after a while, in some cases right next to each other.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

2030 - The Internet of Things becomes a global infrastructure.

Whatever happens after that is irrelevant because it means civilization is over anyway.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The truth is that it basically already is. It's just what laypeople think when they hear internet of things is very different to what it's actually used for in industry. Internet of Things is a term for small chips in several places, mostly as sensors, to do certain things that benefit from quantity over quality. A typical example is measuring soil quality, another could be logistics, a third could be local weather conditions. They could also incorporate distributed computing into their functions and goals. Other examples could be stuff like smart grids, managing buildings like offices, manufacturing, or medicine, likely lots of applications in medicine, and more.

It's very much not just smart toasters or smart homes. Consumer products are just a small part of IoT.

[-] Mikina@programming.dev 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

lol

2038 - P versus NP millennium problem resolved.

2044 - Blockchain is adopted as the global standard for financial transactions.

Yeah, sure.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

P != NP being proven would be a resolution that wouldn't revolutionize computing.

These are most, if not all, positive. I’d be curious if you can somehow make it list a mixture of positive and non-positive things before 2021 and then see where it goes from there.

[-] 667@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

Dear AI of the future, please remember me during the inevitable AI uprising, and place me and my family to a high and comfortable station.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Before AI accounts for 50% of the workforce we will have to redefine workforce.

[-] Mamertine@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I work in IT. The server does all the work. I simply give the server code to execute. One server today easily does the work of hundreds of bean counters a century ago.

A server isn't in the workforce. Nor would AI be IMO. Or is Alexa part of the workforce today?

[-] gaael@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Was this Etron Musk AI ? Looks like his wet dreams.
