Slide 43: Contention that Transistors are comparable to cells. This crazy talk is continued throughout the presentation.
Slide 44: Contends that Moore's law will continue for the next 300 years.
Slide 58: A fantastic butchering of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Slide 61: Unsubstantiated (probably wrong) claim life expectancy is going to linearly increase for the next 300 years.
Slide 73: Contention that storage scales at the same rate as number of transistors on a CPU and apparently conflates that with the power of a CPU.
Slide 82-85: Contention that we'll acheive VR in... 2040.
I mean this presentation is just laughably shit. It's like it's written by someone who has no interest or understanding of the complexity of the things they're meant to be talking about. You would have thought that people would see some of the absurd things that are just obviously rubbish and have it damage the credibility of the presentation, but apparently not.

- matheusmoreira 7y agoI'm impressed you actually made it that far. I stopped reading when they translated all the cause of death statistics into loneliness.
- HenryBemis 7y agoIn Japan loneliness is a big issue. I remember reading how people 70+ commit crimes JUST to go to prison, so they have somebody to care for them. (https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-47033704 https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-47033704) People can die from loneliness/depression. They just give up and then their health deteriorates. Yes it's not the loneliness that kills you, it is some organ(s) failing, but the root cause is loneliness/giving up.
- ekianjo 7y ago> how people 70+ commit crimes JUST to go to prison, That BBC article is, like many things they write about Japan, completely ignorant and click-baity. So you better look up other sources if you want to find reliable information.
- xyst 7y agoAlso the first set of slides are about feelings of despair, What an odd opener for a presentation.
- caseyf7 7y agoSlide 63: Telepathic communication (even with your dog)
- ForHackernews 7y agoIsn't Elon Musk pedalling that too? Nueronlink or whatever his latest meme-company is? Even many technical people don't see through this flimflam as long as it's selling a fantasy they want to believe in.
- achow 7y agoNeuralink is reading thoughts using wires and stuff attached to ones head. Thinking further, that can be actually extended to make it telepathic. That is, across a great distance and over the air with help of transmitter on one head and receiver on the other, thoughts can be transported magically.

- YeahSureWhyNot 7y agomore like mismanages, based on performance of their investments.
- ekianjo 7y agoActually it's amazing they don't lose even more money seeing how poorly designed their whole vision of the future is.
- typon 7y agoBut capitalism is a meritocratic system
- ekianjo 7y ago> Slide 36: the wealthy live until about 39 years old, 300 years ago No, that's just average life expectancy but that is driven down by a large infant mortality. In practice anybody who survived their infancy would pretty much live to 60 and beyond. Complete manipulation of the data, as usual.
