Because sci-fi writers used to overestimate the timeline in which those inventions would become widespread.

It'll probably gonna happen, robots will one day become widespread, just won't be in our generation Z's youth.

Idk Rick, I don't know if I can agree with this(the part of revolutionize), he did several good things and some of his products do work pretty well(and others don't like the Boring's Company Vegas Loop), but he didn't exactly "revolutionize" anything yet.

Take the car company for example, Tesla still uses lithium-ion batteries which is the norm for any EVs today, we don't see an exclusive formulae of new batteries for Tesla that can make the energy density 5x-10x bigger than conventional batteries.

FSD is still a worse driver than your average human driver, dunno if he'll manage to make it work perfectly before all the LiDARs, Radars + Cameras that are being put on other self-drivings approaches. If he pull that, then Tesla will have a revolutionary product, but I take Elon's claims with a heavy grain of salt.

Internet via satellites is cool, but still can't compare itself to the one provided by optic fibers, so not a game-changer.

Reusable rockets whistl a quite impressive feat, they're evolutionary at best, at least for now. Unless Starship manage to really make trips to LEO 100x cheaper, then in this case it'll be indeed an actual game changer.

If I could only receive a buck for each time I've already read the word "revolutionize" in newspapers about researches surrounding new potential techs, techniques and science breakthroughs, I'd be a billionaire richer than Musk.

I'd like to see more energy-dense batteries, not lithium ones really, but something such as the theoretical lithium-air ones with energy-density comparable with gasoline. An energy cell that allow us to charge once and it'll last for days, preferable one that recharges very quickly to(within a minute, or two for example).

A button wouldn't hurt anyone, button is nice, button is great, feels so good to press one when I want to minimize my app, and go back to my "desktop". Current Smartphones are weird imo.

Removable batteries, that'd surely be amazing at least for someone who plans to make a phone lasts for several years, when it is dying out just remove it and replace it, plain and simple.

Chips with smart architecture, so it can process more information more quickly.

Also foldable smartphones everywhere, becoming as ubiquitous as our regular smartphones, tho seems unlikely in a third world country such as mines.

Braincells in the chip: kill me please!

Not decades, the idea exist for over a century. It was just not feasible, sadly, the concept is so cool.

Okay, this actually freak me out.

Only the future will tell, we can't guess what the implications AI will have within society.

Albeit I think AI will do a lot of amazing things for us, I can't predict how deeply it will connect within our society, will it begin another industrial revolution?

At this height everything is possible, a few months, Boston Dynamics demonstrated a robot that can unload boxes. Maybe within the next couple of decades all the heavy works will be done by machines, and only intellectual ones will be left.

We can't know.

So it's impossible to halt this process, as we would need to correct every single cromossome. Am I correct?

However if that is true then why the son from a man in his 60s doesn't borns old? Better, how didn't we start to degenerate after the few generations from the first living being, as DNA is always mutating.

Pardon from my ignorance If I talked something wrong.

Imo it'll take at the very least 70 years, even that is farfetched, I'd guess 100 years from now, we aren't nowhere near close. It's probably that we'll see a small outpost on Mars than we witness an AI that can actually mimic our brains.

In the current state of art, AI, whistl impressive, is still pretty dumb and sounds like a person that knows everything, but actually is still full of errors that show us it actually isn't aware of anything at all.

AGI is pretty much like fusion a technology from the future and that "always will be", we were talking about it since 50s, Geez, even before then. However, what I think we are getting close is to a widespread implementations of AI in our daily lives, that I don't doubt, just not self-aware ones.

Exemples: A personal assistant AI, an AI that can replace doctors in some cases, an AI that sounds like having emotion and that can talk to us but actually is quite dumb and relies on a large amount of data, an AI working in factories, an AI controlled truck planting and growing cops, a patrol drones AI, automated cars, an AI controlled maid robot to clean houses, that can help phds to deal with an immense amount of datas, even now they are already helping engineers to design more efficient CPUs and hardwares, none of them will be AGIs.

A very long lifespan would be a headache, read somewhere years ago that our brain can only support 300 years in memory if kept healthy. If that is true I think we'd start forgetting things after 200 years. 300 years we would start sense the world aa if we were plants I suppose.

Fascinating, can you tell me more please?

I read about epigenetics and how David Sinclair and his team supposedly reversed the clock of some of mice's cells, I don't study the field so I don't understand anything at all, lol.

Also there are Aubrey de Grey claiming to use senolytics, NAD+ injections, and even Telomerase could work to treat the Hayflick limit, extending health and lifespan.

Are David Sinclair/Aubrey de Grey dishonests scams? I mean, can their techniques be replicated by the scientific community? I don't want to believe any treatment until they're actually proven to work.

Yes, but this time we have computers many orders of magnitude more denser, faster and efficient than those in 60s-80s, I'm not sayin it'll happen in the next decade, it's just that claiming that sounds way more credible nowadays.
