Wouldn't it be better to just have the most cost effective robot butler irl and an AI waifu in virtual and augmented reality?

I'm underwhelmed by Google in general. For me, their search works worse than it did in 2016. I literally can't see the search results there were in 2016, even though I know they are online, because I have saved links to some of them. Very disappointed. 2023 doesn't feel like 2023, more like 2015 or so.

For now, I just want IQ 145-150, better control over my emotions, behaviour, memories and a sturdier, unaging body. I used to have IQ 120, but depression lowered it to 100. I am wiser, but also not as smart or quick as I would like to be. I've been trying to learn juggling since 2011 and failed every time. I am also unable to ever reach the 1st place on the hardest difficulty racing games. I would like to be more creative and for my back to stop hurting. You know, mostly basic stuff. Not some crazy extreme posthuman stuff. If these wishes were granted, then I would feel better and be better. I could live like that for a century.

We need to upgrade, improve, enhance, augment humans. Transhumanism ftw!

The solution is to to upgrade humans along improving AIs. That's the best way forward.

Honestly, the sheer amount of AI news, papers and tools that have appeared in the last 2-3 years or so, makes me feel like in one aspect, the Singularity is happening for me already, because while having constant brain fog, I cannot possibly comprehend, understand and remember all this stuff, it's already beyond me. Concentrating on anything is so hard and tiring and the amount of AI related stuff makes me feel nauseous and my head hurts because of it. Literally. Like, without human augmentation, I don't know how can we possibly manage all of it. Is life becoming easier or just different? I feel like it's complicated and difficult.

I knew about the accelerating pace of change back in the 2000s, but I only created my Reddit account in 2020. It differs from person to person.

Most of us will be stuck with smartphones for the next 10 years. Prepare for that mentally.

I just think that for decent AR glasses we will need to wait for the 2030s. But we will at least get decent smartphones this decade.

Pffff.... you'll see that production of robots will double every 2 years. Robot shipments are currently doubling every 2 years. That's 1000x more robots (all kinds) produced in 2042 than in 2022. Of course robots will do stuff instead of us in 40 years. That's for sure. Even Kurzweil was recently asked that question and he answered that robotics will see a lot of development and improvement over the next 10 years and he's correct about that. See Agility Robotics for an example. There are agricultural and harvesting robots being deployed already. Do you know that for example modern ports are full of robots taking care of shipping containers? And robots change and recharge batteries of the wheeled robots.

Reply to Considering the recent advancements in AI, is it possible to achieve full-dive in the next 5-10 years? by Burlito2
No. I've been waiting since childhood, but it won't happen in the near future. Simply won't. We will just have a better version of current VR, heading towards what could be seen in the Ready Player One movie, largely dependant on computing improvements. For me, current VR is completely not worth the effort. It's really bad imo. Very cumbersome and low quality. You can't even walk. Full Dive won't happen before 2050.

Look at this https://youtu.be/7gFxAlGjwms?t=984 to see how poorly games performed in 2012 on multi-GPU configurations. 16 teraflops theoretically, but in practice it could even perform close to Xbox One or PlayStation 4 which were only $399 not that long after that.

I don't count double GPU cards, because they were problematic and there are no modern counterparts. RTX 4090 is GTX 580's current counterpart.
Quealdlor t1_j15ln3h wrote
I certainly don't feel like it and not according to my definition. There are just some software and some hardware innovations here and there. And of course economic growth continues as usual. Construction continues, production continues, etc.

And btw, the OG Titan became available on February 21st, 2013. I remember it, because I have memory for such information. It was 9.83 years ago - almost 10 years, not 8. You can buy the OG Titan (used) for $140 on eBay - over 7x cheaper.

GTX 1060 6GB was even better for gaming than the original, $999 Titan 3 years earlier.

Everyone knows that. But it won't be the average in 2030. Perhaps in 2032 when it costs about $179.

My opinion is the same as it was in 2020, the average personal computer in the year 2030 will be as powerful as the high-end of 2020, meaning RTX 3090, Ryzen 5950X and 32 GB of RAM. So things will certainly move forward, but not by a huge amount. Don't expect miracles.

I recently read an article about how the XIX century was more egalitarian than it is usually thought and more egalitarian than the previous centuries.
