      So let’s see what they say about AI…

      https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-13336679/How-Elon-Musks-AI-prediction-come-true-2025.html

      Elon Musk has claimed ‘AI will be smarter than any human by the end of 2025’ - and while that is just one year away, an expert said the prediction may still come true. Nell Watson, an AI expert and ethicist, has shared a detailed timeline of how the tech could transform from chatbots to super intelligent agents over the next 12 months. The path would start with a massive $100 billion investment in new computing infrastructure, then AI would learn how to self-improve until it becomes ‘conscious.’

      The Daily Mail is a worthless rag that spits whatever rubbish it needs to get old people to read it and feel smug.

      Old boomers who “don’t understand these useless computers” will have been thrilled to read that the kids these days are wasting their lives using the “into the net” and that they were right to dismiss this rubbish and go back to getting their information from good old reliable TV

      Now of course that media has shifted to wanting them to consume their webpages, they are not told that the internet is a terrible place and so their opinion on it has changed

      Seriously. This headline is basically year 2000 click bait title because Dec. 2000 was still in the height of the dot com bubble(In the US at least, idk how things were across the pond at the time)

    It’s different for me. AI will become like touchscreens, SD cards and Bluetooth- inseparable from products, but a feature not a platform.

        My phone’s only a one plus Nord 2 (so not expensive or flagship) and doesn’t have a slot for an SD card. Most phones don’t include them now, it’s like the headphone jack.

          That sucks. The “you get no SD card” trend started in the highest end phones (like the S20 had no slot but the lower-specced S20FE did) and apparently since then it’s kept migrating to lower-end phones…

    “…and the future of online shopping is limited.”

    That is technically correct. It is now the future and there are limits to online shopping. For example, I cannot buy a black hole online. I also can’t buy one offline, but I can’t buy one online, so technically correct.

    I mean it sort of feels like the Internet is dying to me, so it might be just a really long fad that self implodes

    A report from the Virtual Society Project eh.

    The Virtual Society (VS) project is a long term research initiative that is investigating the evolution of the future electronic society. Our vision for this electronic society is a shared 3D virtual world where users, from homes and offices, can explore, interact and work. Our first implementation of an infrastructure to support our investigation is known as CommunityPlace and has been developed to support large-scale shared 3D spaces on the Internet using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). Obviously, such an ambitious project cuts across many different domains. In this paper we outline the goals of the Virtual Society project, discuss the architecture and implementation of CommunityPlace with particular emphasis on Internet related technologies such as VRML and present our views on the role of VRML and the Internet to support large-scale shared 3D spaces.

    Ahh. Good times.
