Entire businesses are run on Excel and very little of the logic in any given spreadsheet can be generalized to another. What's more is that most people are too dumb to code, so devs are a luxury for most of the economy.
Microsoft isn't making it better because they don't have to. Theres no credible competitor and small businesses aren't going anywhere. |

Date: April 23rd, 2019 3:09 PM Author: gaped theater stage Gene therapy/genetic engineering will start to take off. I don't think the real impact of that will be fully felt but you'll start seeing shit cured that didn't use to be curable. Moral panic is going to start being more palpable as people realize that rich people really are going to end up with smarter/healthier/stronger kids that will be able to pass on those traits.
Self-driving cars will become a thing and commercial uses will start coming out. People underestimate how much economic upheaval there will be as a result of this.
Commercial drones similarly are going to become a bigger thing.
General automation is going to continue. More and more "normal jobs" are going to be done by software. |

Date: April 23rd, 2019 4:44 PM Author: gaped theater stage "Hk is a rigged economy that only benefits a few oligarchs."
In that regard that is true but the reality is that it is a middle/upper-middle/rich city-state. The US cannot look like that. This goes to Brazil (and South Africa, for that matter) again, which also has a similar economy but with more entrenched poverty.
"China culturally is nationalist but politically it is an authoritarian centralized one party state and that is coming here."
Yes, but the party is going to be very different. It is going to be more like the ANC in South Africa. |

Self driving cars aren't happening in 10 years. The fact that there isn't a single autonomous semi truck on highways today goes to show how difficult it is to get a computer to handle the chaos of reality. |

I disagree with this. The technology is brand new and improving by leaps and bounds. What you're missing is that once it starts getting deployed, it is going to be an avalanche.
Worst case scenario: I wouldn't be surprised if highway lanes start being dedicated to autonomous vehicles/trucks, which will start communicating with one another. That would remove a ton of the risk (there's no human factor to consider there). |

Date: April 23rd, 2019 4:58 PM Author: gaped theater stage The most interesting applications of self-driving for GC are not you driving around your neighborhood. It is the millions of trucks on the road that drive goods from one warehouse to another. If you can automate that then you can fire a huge amount of people. Plus, these trucks will a) be safer, b) don't need to sleep/rest (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4247285&forum_id=2#38131069) |
|
Date: April 23rd, 2019 4:56 PM Author: gaped theater stage Assumes you don't have external infrastructure in place. For example - you have a truck that is driving. Truck sensor fails, but if trucks are in communication with both one another and a third party array then that truck can continue to be remotely and automatically piloted by AI.
Also, for commercial applications you can have a) more sensors and b) have sensors be self-cleaning. |
|
Date: April 23rd, 2019 4:53 PM Author: pearl international law enforcement agency location Waymo was founded ten years ago. You can't code for every eventuality. There is no such thing as AI and until there is, autonomous driving will probably be limited to custom-built cities (see Google in Toronto) or semis on highways with drone operators standing by to take over control.

Date: April 23rd, 2019 5:05 PM Author: gaped theater stage "limited to custom-built cities (see Google in Toronto)"
That infrastructure will be a blueprint for many cities.
"or semis on highways with drone operators standing by to take over control."
That will become more common, but AI will also increasingly play a role here (it'll just be integrated into the infrastructure, rather than just on the truck - think of an AI air traffic controller) |

Date: April 23rd, 2019 11:44 PM Author: gaped theater stage Right. In general, it is easier to add a lane to many highways than it is to build totally different railroads to new locations. Also, such lanes would be useful for multiple things. Your self-driving truck will share that lane with self-driving busses, cabs, cars, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4247285&forum_id=2#38133051) |
