Reply to comment by ElUltimateNachoman in A primitive "holodeck" by Ezekiel_W

there is no where near enough computing power in the world right now to maintain even 1 second worth of star trek holodeck.

Disagree. AI can do a lot.

you've seen star trek, right? you're aware of what the holodeck is?

We're well on our way of being able to speak to it at least though. With all the text-to AI's coming out, we've been successfully training it exponentially over the last year. I'm an absolute potato, but I'm even able to make stable diffusion do my bidding, and it's all with natural speech. 3d printers will need a couple of generations to build up to replicators and the rest of the... you know, forming reality in a way you can feel it.

Give it time ai can create full length feature film, by txt prompts. 10 years or less.

There is already retinal level VR and exceptionally real sound tracking in VR. We have 3 senses left and I am sure those last three senses will also be made of 1s and 0s too. This is exactly why I disagree with people who ignore AI is thinking exponentially. We are cooperating with AI on how we will fuse humans and machines together right now. AI would ultimately fail if we didn’t have enough energy so you may as well be with the other section of people who think AI isn’t coming for another 50 years.

The Star Trek holodeck is a sci-fi thing which will likely never be as real as shown in the show, but realtime holographics aren't unfeasible.

As far as computing power, AI for the most past has been taking advantage of more general purpose hardware, and half-measure hardware.
Between posits and ASICs, there is new technology already staged for manufacturing which are in the realm of 100 to 1000 times faster.

You need to hold onto your butt, because specialized hardware is going to put the already rapid progress on steroids.

How much computing power will it need and how much available computing power is on Earth as of today?
