/sci/ - Science & Math

Probably no closer than we are now, but at least we wont be racists anymore (in theory)

If by "we" you mean the machines that rapidly replace us, then we should be pretty advanced by then.

>>7735456
What if humans become machines or just not human?

We get our skin, bones and organs replaced to live longer. Will we be humans still? Hmmm

2050 will be nuts.

Probably the same look as we have now, but we'll be independent of oil and majority of current big problems will be gone. HIV, Old timer's, etc should be cured by 2100.

I bet you are a real laugh at parties

Running out of oil in six years? You do know the reason oil is 35 bucks a barrel right now because of the massive stock pile of global oil right?

I bet we are not even using the oil we are producing for the past two months.

0/10, you went too far in your baiting

>>7735518
I suggest you come to alberta. We are not running out of oil any time soon.

There's enough oil to last 30 years, though.

Mr. Kurzweil is brilliant engineer, but he knows very little about anything outside of his area of expertise. I am particularly miffed by his utterly wrong ideas about human brain function - at best they are a 1st order approximation of what actually goes on. Also he knows nothing about thermodynamics and such, which is one reason for his grandiose claims about "the universe waking up" and other nonsense.

It's far more likely that AI will develop incrementally from where I'm standing as an AI researcher, for one thing.

In terms of military technology we will probably have nanotechnology for genetic warfare, capable of killing specific groups of people.

I get a disturbing feeling for how that will be achieved.

Grandmothers are the main cyborgs today: electromic hearing aid, electromic heart pacemakers, titanium hip joints, stents in arteries, synthetic lenses after cataract operations and more. And we will always love our grandmothers.

That picture with a lot less shine, and a lot more people most likely.

By the end of this century, the era of Petroleum Starvation will begin. (We're currently in the era of Petroleum Depletion.) A lot of Humans will be relegated to simply remaining within 20 miles of their homes.

This is when the NEETs will rise.

We'll never run out of hydrocarbons. Earth will fry long before that happens.

What will happen is that solar and wind combined with batteries (stationary and in vehicles) will become so cheap no other energy source can compete.

Let's ignore solar, wind, and nuclear power because fuck them.

>but at least we wont be racists anymore
then we'll be killed by people racist against us.
racism is simply a preference for ones own people. in the long run we'll ether be killed by other peoples how do prefer there own (i.e. racism), or we'll learn to prefer our own (racism) and secure our peoples lineage by eliminating all others.
