It’s literally impossible to imagine what this technology will be like 500-1000 years.

You wouldn’t have been able to predict this 20 years ago, how could you know what’s going to happen in centuries? Let’s take it a decade at a time.

Actually, a lot of this stuff was predicted twenty years ago. Much longer than that, in fact. But it's really wild to see it happening.

Edit - to be clear, I used to read about stuff in popular mechanics magazine or whatever and then ten years later I'd see it being built, then years later hit the consumer market. Now, if I opened up Reddit and saw that we had warp technology and I could add it to my car for $100, I would be amazed but not totally surprised.

The only point I’m trying to make, and I may not be explaining it right, is that barring a society level collapse and destruction, AIs birth will seemingly be eternal. We’re in the BC of all of this.

My personal belief is that the future you imagine, if we were to put it into BC-AD terms, is at 0 AD, and we are at 40 BC.

That being said, it’s unfathomable where we’d be in 1000 years. I wonder if any of us will be able to live to see it.
