Cyberpunk shit? 2100-2150. We have quite a ways to go with materials science.

Reply to When will we reach LEV? by TampaBai
LEV for the hyper rich, most likely 2100s. We need injectable nanotech for it. Our materials science still has a long, long way to go before being able to manufacture nanotech en masse.

That's not surprising when you've spend your career wrestling with 3 letter government organizations to get human trials/research, manufacturing processes, etc approved in order to make tiny advances towards a world that over half this sub thinks will be here in less than 10 years

The optimism in this sub is near Jetsons level.
I've worked in some very fringe fields such as brain computer interfacing, graphene/CNT, and ai for a little over a decade. Some of the ideas and notions put forward in this sub are beyond ridiculous.
The main issue is people here base their views on venture capital seeking tech evangelists and confuse research publications for advancements in science and technology. 99% of all the research papers posted in this sub end up on shelves as soon as the student graduates/gets their phd. Less than 1% contributes to pushing the boundaries.

Reply to How much time until it happens? by CookiesDeathCookies
Until Cyberpunk shit? Probably another 75-150 years, if we survive long enough to continue iterating on current technologies. Biggest hurdles being our materials science and general communications infrastructure.

More text to image machine learning models. Maybe some decent text to video ones.

You have to realize a lot of the evangelism around these industries is rooted in the hopes of getting more funding for a technology that is decades away from becoming profitable.

It's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better bud. And no one on this sub will be alive to see it unfortunately.
