Come back here in ten years, man. Maybe sooner.

More like this year. What a mind-bogglingly stupid thread.

What technology do I have access to that I didn't already have in 2010?

Plenty of them. I'm not humoring you.

Care to enlighten me?

Maybe later, but tbh I don't usually engage much with people I disagree with anymore since people usually have their minds made up beforehand.

smartwatches, true wireless earbuds, quicker DNA seqvencing, better smartphones apps, faster net, boston dynamics Spot, image generate AIs, robotaxis in same cities, 200M protein structure from Deepmind

Where are Boston dynamics robots commercially used?

The protein thing is interesting. It has been mentioned a couple of times and it seems useful.

I mentioned quicker DNA sequencing and I believe it is indeed BIG.

Faster net? Does this increase in speed actually allow qualative changes to the way we use the internet or is is just a minor improvement on an existing technology?

Better apps? I wouldn't really count it as a breakthrough. More like streamlining what we had already.

I forgot about smartwatches and earbuds. Perhaps because I don't use either. Probably a good point though.

Altogether combine i think it is huge breakthrough in field communication and social media

I will. What do you expect to change in the next decade? Except for better AI I doubt we would get anything. And even then, we still wouldn't have self driving cars I bet.

Ray Kurzweil predicts AGI by 2029. He's held that prediction for the longest time, and he hasn't changed it. I'm feeling confident about his prediction since he's betting money on it as well.

I am not sure who that is but I will surely come back to this in 7 years and I am sure we will not see it. Meanwhile, while we are waiting, we are technically "stagnating". Waiting for an advancement is not the same as seeing it come.

I'd be shocked if it hadn't been achieved by that point. He recently said that we'll probably have AGI before 2029.

Ray Kurzweil is an optimist, but he has a track record of accurate predictions.

I like your optimism but I believe you are in for a shock. At best we might have something that vaguely resembles AGI very slowly running on the fastest supercomputer that would be specifically designed to run it. Not something a average person would have a use for.
