- bradlys 5y ago10 years.. plus or minus 50? 10 years even for self driving is far fetched. 10 years for automation of 80% of jobs - hella far fetched. We’re so disorganized that I doubt even 80% of people in the USA will be fully vaccinated in 10 years.
- daniel_iversen 5y agoI’m not sure what timeframe to put on it.. i feel we usually are too optimistic of what happens in 5 years but then we grossly underestimate what happens in 10 years. The history of the sequencing of the whole human genome comes to mind but I can’t remember the exact facts and timeframes.
