I hope that at that point i can buy a mech soon after

you do know this entire thing is one big grift?

Hyperloops are scams, they are complete nonsense as they are not something you can actually realisticly build. Our current technology isn't even close to be able to do this.

none because the people who are behind this know that this will never be actually built, or at least not on a meaningfull scale.

This tech grift is still alive? Unbelievable that our government is wasting money on such obvious scams. Anyone who greenlit this in switzerland should be fired.

This is really cool but anyone who worked on animation for even 5 minutes knows that mocap stuff like this does not replace anime, they are way too diffrent.

it probably was

Could be the case, my only source is a single anecdotal case

For coffee specificly, i don't know, this specific case just stuck with me because i've seen it firsthand.

Oh broh, it's been a decade since then, i don't know if this is even a thing anymore. Sorry i do not remember, it was just a teacher of mine who showed us the trick on his coffee machine, no idea what brand it was, but certainly a cheap one.

Maybe you got lucky, i think this was a discussion around a decade ago. I don't know how widespread it was and if it's even still legal but there were certainly coffee machines that had this or simmilar features.

Many coffee machines have a built in counter that shuts them down after a set numbers of coffees. Officially it is for quality reasons but you can easily get twice as many coffees out of a machine withoput a drop in quality. You can reset the counters if you know how, it's not that hard. Especially cheap full coffee machines do this so people have to constantly buy new ones every few years.

That comment gave me cringe cancer.

Fucking bot accounts

The first AI that is better than a human at pretty much everything will really cement this. There will be a lot of coping.

They should call it Decepticons

Fairly recently, i stumbled upon this entire AI thing a bit more than a year ago, it was a few months before DALL-E 2 took off. I think someone randomly recommended this sub somehwere on reddit. Reading about the singularity and all that it entails was one of the most interresting things i've read in my life. At first it felt like a fantastical idea that sounded like some batshit sci-fi shenanigans, until i actually started reading up on those AI models and realised that this is real, scarily so.

Yes and yes

OP, no offense but you sound a bit like a nutjob

No you can literally download the whole thing on github

$200 a day for an AGI would be so dirt cheap comparatively that it would annihilate the entire jobmarket overnight. One AGI can replace dozens of people, if not much more. Even if the hardware alone costs $50k and the upkeep is $1000 a day for your own AGI, it would still be considered dirtcheap.

You need to consider that an AI "thinks" vastly faster than us in pretty much every conceivable way, i am talking a factor of 1000 times faster here, minimum. It could replace every single employee in a bank for example and it would be unbelievably more efficient at doing the work than even the best human team of workers in the history of banking.

Hookers, no matter how real the machines look and feel, there will always be people willing to pay cash for the real thing.

Imagine robot nba, it starts with robots slowely replacing bottom rung players and 50 years later it's just a field full of hyperoptimized machines boosting over the field and dribbling so fast the games are watched in slow motion because otherwise nobody has a clue whats going on.

Or google just trying to push products, Google search has been incredibly bad for a few years now.

Yes, the only real question is when, the if is hardly contested anymore.

It all depends on the speed of progress in the AI field. What many people don't think about is that scientific progress is exponential, so it could come from very far off to on your doorstep pretty quickly. There is not a small amount of very prominent AI scientists that predict an AGI (Artificial general intelligence), an Ai that can do everything a human can do, by 2030. Only time will tell though.
