Yep, destined to one day be a future RomCom meet cute cliché.

If you could easily identity all the ruthless sociopaths, there would be some people who’d think that was a great hiring tool for their businesses.

I would be interested to hear your reasoning and facts to support this assertion.

I wonder when someone is going to figure how to speed up domestication via gene editing. There’s a huge untapped market for exotic pets that could be house trained.

He won’t be able to just take control of the Fed without Congress,

Perhaps, but they’ve abdicated responsibility on everything else so far. I understand that people have hope the normal times will resume, but autocracy has a trajectory. So far, almost nothing has stopped it in the US.

The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) makes Big Tech (like Meta, Google) reveal how they track users, moderate content, and handle disinformation. Most of these companies hate the law and are lobbying against it in Brussels—but except for Twitter (now X), they’re at least trying to follow it for EU users.

Meanwhile, US politics may push Big Tech to resist these rules more aggressively, especially since they have strong influence over the current US government.

AI will be the next big tech divide: The US will likely have little regulation, while the EU will take a much stronger approach to regulating. Growing tensions—over trade, military threats, and tech policies—are driving the US and EU apart, and this split will continue for at least four more years.

The Russian propaganda seems much more effective with the right-wing people. Is that an AI thing, or are they more susceptible for other reasons?

I’m sick of hearing Musk’s plans for it, those will never pan out. But humans are probably destined to leave Earth and spread out someday - that I still think will happen, and is worth considering.

I was wondering would they have over-heating problems, but the energy is so small it can probably be dissipated elsewhere.

As places are limited, they need to focus on those with talent and ability.

If you google Hitler’s paintings you can see why he was rejected. They’re flat, rigid and lacking in creativity - perhaps not surprising for a fascist megalomaniac. I’m curious to see what the AI will learn here. Lots of ai-generated imagery is technically good, but can it really be said to have creativity?

As radioactive decay can’t be stopped, I’m assuming this emits power continuously. Whatever this is used for won’t have any On/Off buttons.

This exponential rate of progress has been observed many times with different types of AI, here’s a recent example of it.

My reasoning is based on the fact they are selling similar to these in the $20k price range. Buying them means they cost a fraction of employing a minimum wage worker in western countries.

They are embodied AI, so improving at the rate AI is. That is exponentially. Meaning iterations of these may be 32, 64, 128, etc times more powerful in the 2030s, and even cheaper.

I think it is very reasonable to say they will be common in the 2030s.

With upcoming space telescopes in the 2030s, there should be a few capable of analyzing exoplanet atmospheres. Exciting to think we may be soon able to deduce the presence of carbon-based life in another planetary system.

Yeah, I wonder how far they can extend the magnetic fields that power them? Even if it is relatively short range, they look really cheap to make, so you could have thousands of them with sensors to scan localized areas.

How are we supposed to police this? A vast global Orwellian monitoring system seems even worse.
