Whats the next disruptive technology?

Doesn't some Whole Foods already have that? Surely Japan does and I think they do have some with no employees inside.

I think every store has it but some stores you have to run out

AI is the next disruptive tech because it will do everything, it replaces humans. That's the ultimate disruption.

3D printers also. AI destroys the knowledge/service economy and 3D printing destroys the industrial economy.

Neurolink or the integration of AI into humans will disrupt the external hardware service companies.

We are essentially in a new period of permanent disruption. Continuity is a thing of the past.

We are legit in the end times.

Media coverage of AI tends to focus a lot on the arts but honestly I think thats actually one of the areas it will have least impact, maybe some low level jobs will be lost but thats one of the areas were genuine human creativity is still very important.

The big issue I suspect with AI is that it will start to eliminate a massive amount of white collar jobs, especially data input kind of stuff which previously needed just enough intelligence to avoid automatization.

I think that could potentially have a massive effect on the political situation since I think the current status quo is really built on white collar job population having it JUST comfortable enough to be afraid significant change might hurt them(at least to be sold the lie that it will by the establishment), if those peoples wealth suffers the same decline blue collar careers and service careers have not sure that will be sustainable, the push for things like UBI will become much stronger.

Augmented reality...

AR headsets, like the new Apple Vision Pro, are going to take off like crazy. AR technology is a total game changer, especially once they get it more streamlined, like some fashionable glasses or even contact lenses, instead of the bulky goggles available now. The possibilities are endless with AR.

There's still the not small hurdle of everyone but Nvidia and AMD bleed money on LLM because no one has figured out how to monetize it. And best case, it will be monetized like search engines, which is effectively an evolutionary step.

How would you monetize this kind of AI? I don't think people understand the only reason it's so popular right now is because is nearly everyone is bleeding money to grow the user base.

Sure. New tech is more expensive, I have no doubt that the power consumption of AI will be reduced dramatically over time.

Try to pay to get something small 3D printed and it's too cost prohibitive. If there wasn't a threat of tiny toxic plastic particles in the air, I would have bought a 3D printer already.

Yup, but already it's cheaper to print plastic Warhammer figures than buying them. I guess a good extraction hood/fan is the way. Within 50 years it will replace all manufacturing for poor people imo.

End times or new times?

Maybe this is a necessary step on the road to a Star Trek future.

The Star Trek future also included nuclear wars. Let’s try and skip that part.

They had nuclear war without extinction of the species.

Maybe that's another necessary step.

Yeah, but it's still replacing jobs at increasing rates. The prediction in 2023 was that AI would replace 2.5 million USA jobs by 2030, now that prediction is more like 45 million.

We're in the middle of a revolution. Like the frog in a pot. Seems fine, is boring. And yet.

People were loosing their jobs too when steam engine was invented and szddenly they didn’t anymore.

I think we will adapt again. Construct of human psyche has always been dependant on circumstances so nothings really lost just transformed like it has been since the beginning.

And to be honest, fuck all these jobs being potentially replaced. Most are nightmare realities.

I've seen people casually walk out then store anti-shoplifting people grab them once they exit the store. Shameful.

They should make some exemption in the law where if your job was eliminated by robot, and if you're a hot woman, you can be a ho and it's legal.

It’s legal where I live already. I was thinking about that myself. Becoming a female only male escort and gigolo. But I despise smelly people.

Definitely end times. The great filter. We only learn from our mistakes. People's individual power increases daily and the mistakes get bigger daily, eventually someone pissed off or mentally ill presses the button.

People lost jobs that the steam engine could replace. Generally those involving application of horsepower. AI kills jobs involving thought and perception. The last jobs are those moving heavy items in a novel environment, like stone mason, but these last jobs are going to be like a year or so beyond AGI, because AGI is the point by which magic starts to happen as far as we are concerned. At that point all bets are off.

Already service jobs are being removed, call centre or the like jobs are being taken over by systems. Most financial trading is AI based. There's no extra sector for jobs to be created in, we moved from production to service, we move from service to service user, which isn't a job, for most.

While you are making good points I don't see it as grim as you do.
Noone should work in a callcenter to begin with. I did it for 3 weeks and quit. It's shit and the whole industry or most surrounding the concept of call centers is.
I don't care about financial trading aswell. I think it's a big abstract bubble of numbers and I don't mind if machines are taking it fully.

The creative market is a different thing. But artists already struggle to make a decent living and quality is quite low in general so no loss aswell. I don't see any difference in crap being written by AI or a human.

People who know know and will still appreciated a well crafted novel or painting or whatever by human hands.

So what will be the great outcome you fear? 3D Printers are nothing new, they just made some shit easier, jobs in construction and production are still there, heck, we even have a shortage over here in many professional job settings and are trying to get people from other countries to work here.

And like I said, we are transforming, I don't think people are as literate as they were 50 years ago or even before that. My gf's grandfather held speaches in latin at family meetings.
Doesnt mean it's the end of the world, just as we knew it.

The point about having to learn from mistakes is that we don't predict the mistakes with any real efficiency.

A pissed off teen could print a virus that kills all women on earth within a month.

It doesn't matter what it is, the possibilities are legion and increase exponentially as our power increases.

Fwiw I'm actually reasonably optimistic, mostly because life's better enjoyed that way. I'm not too bothered about the fallacy of hope because it'll all be over at that point.
