Actually - that’s a great example. If you go back to the 40s/50s/60s/70s/80s/90s - you’ll see all sorts of grand predictions about how technology will change our lives. And then 20 years go by with very gradual incremental changes. Anyone working in tech realizes that AI has been a work in progress for a long time, it will continue to make in-roads, but is it really going to put us out of work in the next 5-10 years?
- thefounder 4y agoWell we still don't have flying cars or fancy spaceships not to mention immortality other SF predictions so I wouldn't hold my breath for a AGI-like discovery. Should I mention we don't have full self driving either...?
- Closi 4y agoGradual incremental changes until there is suddenly an explosion of change and adoption, if the PC and Internet are anything to go by. In my view it will probably change the way we work to a large extent in 10 years, and tech work will probably be entirely different in 30 years, but like you say these are impossible things to know and an intelligent person could entirely disagree.
