My predictions for 2023

​

Russia / Ukraine war ends when Putin is ousted in a military coup. The new president calls off the war and restores ties with the west.

GPT-4 is released and is a significant advancement

advancements will continue to be made in gene editing, fusion, stem cell research, aging research, etc

the Iran protests die down and there is no regime change in Iran

8k TVs, monitors, etc go down in price, as well as OLED, QLED, etc

% of energy from renewable sources globally continues to increase, % from non renewables decreases

lab grown meat becomes more mainstream, products made with lab grown / fermented / cow free milk enter the market, advancements are made in lab grown wood, leather, organs, etc

we will continue to read about ‘breakthroughs’ in various fields, most of which we will never hear about ever again (for various reasons such as the article being hype and / or fabricated, working out initially but failing in further trials / testing, etc) but some will be genuine breakthroughs and will represent an advancement in that field

2023 is warmer on average than 2022

Finland and Sweden join NATO by the end of 2023. There is a coup in Belarus, Lukashenko is ousted, and the new govt. is pro western (as most of the population of Belarus is anti Lukashenko and pro west) and they apply to join NATO

My general predictions are rather bleak and I don’t want to spoil the New Year night, so I will only state what I am looking forward to:

  • midjourney (my favorite art AI) learning to do even better hands (there has been some improvement but it’s not enough yet)

  • new developments in cure of neurodegenerative disorders once ageing is accepted as a disease more generally

  • maybe GPT-4?

Well, I think in this subreddit you should only talk about topics related to artificial intelligence / singularity / technology, not geopolitics.

edit: Read the subreddit description, please.

Belarus applying to join NATO I think would give everyone (including the Belarusians) so much whiplash. I don't think that's likely. I'm not even sure a coup is likely.
