Oh, that is probably less than 5 years away. Have you seen "text to video" AI technology yet?
Dwarfdeaths t1_itq8u5a wrote
I mean that's mostly a limitation of the display, not the internet. You can already play videos with a higher bitrate than your internet if you download them beforehand.
Evil-Sometimes t1_itsm54y wrote
Yeah, but don’t you need better data speeds for the machines that make the display? You would think that the engineering of it would take a considerable amount of complex calculations to figure it out.
Dwarfdeaths t1_itsnii6 wrote
Not that I'm aware of. If you're using massive simulation to explore design space the limiting factor is usually computation, not transfer. And you don't have to transfer that data often, even so. We transmit way more data in media.

4k is already indistinguishable imho. The only thing lacking at this point is depth, which requires VR. Perhaps we'll be able to stream videos to our brains that are perceived as real once Neurolink tech is more advanced?
Evil-Sometimes t1_itx2dox wrote
In my opinion I hope not. I feel like the brain is a territory we shouldn’t mess with. Imagine the things that can be done to your mind.
If some sort of hacker got a hold of the system, they could make you start hallucinating things. That, or if we got to this point, some sort of authority could start manipulating memories.

This computing breakthrough chip just transferred the equivalent of the entire internet’s traffic in 1 second
Also thanks for this "Trust me bro" article
Here the source:
Journal Nature, DOI: 10.1038/s41566-022-01082-z "Petabit-per-second data transmission using a chip-scale microcomb ring resonator source"

Ray Kurweil, in his seminal work “ the singularity is near” referred to this cumulative aggregation of development as convergence and he clearly recognized how advancement in multiple different fields would create a positive feedback loop that would drive other rapid advancements.

Something like that pretty much has to be happening when you see measures of progress following exponential curves.

Meanwhile I have 1mb/sec downloads from my rural monopolized internet.

I’m relying on Starlink to actually get modern speeds. But I do live in the woods and rather not have someone tear my woods up either so it kinda on me
gulgin t1_itqqsd6 wrote
This technology is not applicable to residential use, this would be for things comparable to the main interstates of the internet rather than the residential roads that actually get you to your house. Starlink benefits from this technology because the major base stations where the satellites bounce your individual connection can be more efficient and cheaper.

The headline is nonsensical. When you're talking about bits per second, saying "the entire internet's traffic in one second" makes no sense.
"A single chip transferred the equivalent of the entire internet's traffic" explains it.

No it’s legit. The technology science person is using tweezers to remove an infected micro computing part in the thumbnail.
Seems pretty legit.

Submission statement from OP. Note: This submission statement "locks in" after about 30 minutes, and can no longer be edited. Please refer to my statement they link, which I can continue to edit. I often edit my submission statement, sometimes for the next few days if needs must. There is often required additional grammatical editing and additional added detail.
From the article.
>A team of researchers have made a huge breakthrough in data transmission via fiber optics by using a single computer chip to transfer 1.84 petabits of data per second, which is roughly twice the entire internet’s traffic (or approximately 230 million photo downloads per second).
One qualification on the claim that engineering will probably rapidl overcome...
>While not as fast as data transfer rates of 10.66 petabits per second that are currently possible, the beauty of this record-breaking achievement by Jørgensen and his team is miniaturizing. Compared to bulkier equipment currently used to achieve the 10.66 petabits per second speeds, the upscaling of a single chip to match or even exceed that transfer rate is going to remain exceedingly compact.
One of the things that I can't stress enough concerning all of this "incredibly rapid" technological advancement, is that what is happening today is natural and normal. This is what happens as the cumulative impact of all of the giants, whose shoulders we have stood upon, has given to us all of the benefits of our science and technology that we enjoy and take for granted, today.
Here is what I mean by that. You can sum up what is happening now all up in one word. Knowledge. And the astonishingly ever more rapid accrual of it.
Here are a series of essays and commentaries I have written to help to explain why what is happening today is happening. And why I am pretty convinced that this decade shall see an event that could be the most significant thing to happen in all of human recorded history. (It may happen as late as 2031 to be fair.) Yes, I'm referring to a "technological singularity". See my essays to learn more if you are interested.
But this kind of computing breakthrough is going to lead to this incredible future that I have envisioned.
Just the next ten years alone will see the realization of a genuine metaverse. I hope that it comes from "Second Life" rather than from Meta. SL has been doing a 2D metaverse since 2005. It is really good at what it does and only needs the technology to make that level of computing speed available to everyone in VR. SL attempted VR back around 2016-17 but the state of computing then was such that it could not deliver the goods. Hardly anyone had a PC that could handle that level of required computing power. Well, the original Creator of SL, Phillip Rosedale has returned to SL and his stated goal is to make SL into a metaverse. OMG! If successful, it is going to be off the chain insane.
Here is a brief look at what the SL metaverse looks like compared to Meta's cartoonishly lame VR. Imagine the world you see below in VR. :O And then... 8D
This video is from 2014. SL was still pretty primitive even then. Everything has massively developed and improved since. But even this will give you a pretty good feel for the true potential for a VR SL.

Why is every stock photo used for these computer articles someone trying to tear off some circuit board module with a pair of tweezers?
