Yes..................

[Red Badger]

Not in THIS life!

Forever with God and His Son Jesus and in heavenly bliss, yes!........................

[Red Badger]

It’s like the Nostradamus Quatrains.

Find a quatrain that fits a certain current situation, then claim he predicted it!.............

[Red Badger]

There won’t be tiny robots, although that would make a good scary animation film.

See "Fantastic Voyage"............https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Voyage

So, they just want fewer people so the chosen will remain

[Red Badger]

Ever read Atlantis......................

[Red Badger]

Not at my job.

They max out at 360 hours.................

[Red Badger]

Just like Dr. Moriarty on Star Trek TNG.................

Spend the earnings. Don’t touch the capital

Crap.. how can you ever get to eternity if you can’t even get to forever.

That may be so, but AI is not enough because figuring things out is often the easiest part of solving a problem. Convincing an essential core of people that you are right, lining up the necessary investment capital and a workable remedy and business model, and overcoming regulatory delays and marketplace resistance are usually hard and time-consuming.

These are all questions that can be submitted to AI for answers quickly.

As best as I can tell, the emerging cures for the major killing diseases and the aging process also tend to suffer from high cost and the need for lengthy and expensive clinical trials. Even if Kurzweil is right and eight years delivers the needed bundle of treatments and cures, I do not see them becoming fully available for another half decade or more — and even then, cost will often be a problem.

Yeah this may be the case.,,.if simulations are not at acceptable levels of reliability in 7 years.

The tell here will be whether Musk can get his autonomous vehicles up to levels of safety and reliability that are acceptable. Part of that work will be with AI and part of that will by byo simulations.

I have no clue as to how that plays out.

The big picture is that a zillion assumptions that each of us have about the rate of change or how things change are going to go out the window.
