We haven't in the sleightest found any of those things.
The AI is neither intelligent nor General. The room temp semiconductor has not been replicated yet. The cure for cancer has been in pretrial for 20 years, and only now got accepted for phase 1 testing in humans (just checking is not posionous it has 0 results regarding efficacy). And understanding the mechanisms of inflamation is about as close to figuring out aging as figuring out amyloid plaques got us to cure Alzeihmers.
It is all super encouraging, and new scientific discoveries are exciting, but we are not there yet, and there is a big chance there is a science Winter coming straight after this Summer, and the AI one might be long as we have no new alternatives if the hype behind our current attempts fail
- feoren 3y ago> understanding the mechanisms of inflamation is about as close to figuring out aging as figuring out amyloid plaques got us to cure Alzeihmers While I agree understanding inflammation is only the very beginning of a long, long journey, comparing it to amyloid plaques is disingenuous: the latter was literally outright fraud. There's no reason (yet, anyway) to think these researchers are literally fraudulent like the Alzheimer's researchers were. > there is a big chance there is a science Winter coming straight after this Summer Why? Pure regression to the mean? "Science" is an unfathomably vast enterprise and there's no reason to think a breakthrough in one or two areas must be followed by a quiescence in all others.
