I’m optimistic but not nearly as some people on this sub. I try to have a realist view regarding the singularity and AI in general.

Honestly I can see shit getting out of hand quickly within the next 5 years. AI will progress faster than government legislation. Corporations will use that to their advantage and probably replace a good amount of the work force. Even at 20% jobs lost that’s still a huge issue. I can see rioting and stealing happening as more people fall into the poverty class. Corporations care more about profits than people, that’s not going to change.

If you are college student, I’d highly recommend you going into the medical field or possibly engineering. Any other degree I feel will be mostly useless to get a well paying job. Especially business degrees, art/history, etc. I’ll probably get downvoted for saying that, but it’s just my opinion.

After a few years of craziness, I would hope the government adjusts and makes UBI available for everyone. Then things can start to get better.

Quantum computing is a field of computing that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to build computer systems that can perform certain types of computation much faster than classical computers. In a classical computer, information is processed using bits, which can represent either a 0 or a 1. In a quantum computer, information is processed using quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously, a property known as superposition. Additionally, qubits can also become entangled, meaning that the state of one qubit can affect the state of another, even when they are separated by large distances.

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize AI by providing new algorithms and hardware that can solve problems that are intractable for classical computers. One of the most exciting applications of quantum computing for AI is in deep learning, where quantum algorithms can be used to train large neural networks much faster than classical algorithms. Additionally, quantum computers have the potential to accelerate other important AI tasks, such as reinforcement learning and unsupervised learning, by providing new algorithms and hardware that can process large amounts of data more efficiently.

However, it's important to note that quantum computing is still in its early stages and that many technical challenges still need to be overcome before it becomes a mainstream technology. Additionally, the development of quantum algorithms that can be used to solve real-world problems is still in its early stages, so it will be some time before we see the full potential of quantum computing for AI.

It could happen this year, I don’t doubt the possibility.

I’m not an expert and don’t really understand that much about how AI works, but I keep thinking quantum computing + AI will be a game changer. Wouldn’t a quantum computer be able to better simulate a human brain than a regular computer?

Even without quantum, all this AI buzz and traction will just have more people/companies/resources pouring into AI research. Palmer thinks a single person could write the code for AGI.

Not to mention other countries working on their own AIs as well and most of the research going out on the web.

Sorry for my noobness, I’m just an average AI…

Is this more like they’ve been working on it for a long time and they just happened to publish around the same time?

Or these kinds of models/research is just speeding up faster and faster?

Do they use other AI models to faster train their models?

Is it just different AI giving birth to new/better AIs?

Here ya go chump:

AlphaFold has the potential to significantly advance the field of structural biology, which is the study of the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules such as proteins. By accurately predicting the 3D structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence, AlphaFold can help researchers better understand how proteins function, and aid in the discovery of new drugs and therapies.

Protein structure prediction is a long-standing challenge in computational biology, and many researchers have been working on the problem for decades. AlphaFold's ability to achieve near-experimental accuracy in many cases is a major breakthrough in this field, and has the potential to accelerate the pace of research in structural biology and related areas.

It could also have an impact in the industry. For example, in the field of drug discovery, a better understanding of protein structure can help identify new targets for drug development and design more effective drugs. In addition, AlphaFold's ability to predict the structures of previously uncharacterized proteins could help identify new enzymes for industrial biotechnology and new proteins for use in biomanufacturing.

Overall, AlphaFold's ability to accurately predict protein structures could have a major impact in various areas of biology and medicine, and could lead to new breakthroughs in the fight against diseases and the development of new technologies.

Oh it’s 100% going to happen when VR gets good enough. Especially if the wealth gap continues to grow. When you’re poor, you can’t travel the world and do other adventurous things (for the most part). Once VR gets good enough and cheap enough, I’m sure most people will plug in to have those VR adventures/entertainment.

I think AI will come up with VR hardware/software breakthroughs.

Have you tried Midjourney? You can create basically any kind of digital art. 3D, 2d, oil, pencil, photograph, etc. And it’s only going to get better

Well I think most young people wouldn’t mind, like millennials and younger.

I’m sure boomers would come around quickly, as long as it’s saying what they want to hear.

It depends on if it’s realistic avatars or anime like avatars too. I don’t see many people accepting anime like avatars but definitely human realistic avatars.
