I'm not certain what discussions are being shouted down, but this is a good resource for all kinds of good tech so it's a must in my book. I have seen a somewhat liberal hive mindset, but since this is intellectual fodder that is to be expected. It's still one of my top resources every morning.

I usually think "that would be cool" when I hear about ideas for the future, but never on the chips everywhere thing. I always thought "why" on that and solving a problem that isn't there. Our phones can take on a hell of a lot of tasks.
In fact this whole Metaverse thing...

What they really should do in hospitals is when they give you the ID band on your wrist, it should be smart, and output vitals on the patient. All the medical records.

I see. I still would question why you would want to spend the money for every outfit and size being retrofitted instead of a universal bracelet, but there are probably some exceptions somewhere.

I would say one of the biggest issues was Covid. It disrupted the chip market significantly, with roadblocks at every juncture. Just look at the GPU disaster. Things still are disrupted at points, and it will take some time to recover from all that. Plus Ray seems to be a bit optimistic on his predictions.
I'm a bit skeptical about chips in clothing etc. I mean there has to have a good purpose, and apart from specialty items, I see no logical reason for chips to be in clothing and some of these other predictions.

It would be fun to track this and see if the number of important advances goes up . The trouble is what would be the threshold.

If you are tuned in and looking you can feel this happening. I didn't need this metric to know this, but it reinforces what I have been thinking.

This is why I don't think you need to get to AGI before the exponential ramp-up to Singularity, you simply have to create something that can design its successor. AGI will happen along the way.

Understood. I would like to see more of that too, but we have what we have. As I said, I think it is a good resource to go through every morning, take what's interesting, and leave the rest. I mostly just look at the links and leave the discussions unless it's something that really strikes me.
