We're already seeing a time compression of discoveries and technological advancements. Something like every day is now equivalent to 3 days (or a week, depending which estimate you use). Very soon each day will be like a week, then a month, then a year of advances. It's going to get crazy really really fast.
If you have ever seen the movie iRobot, you might remember that the film takes place in 2035. It’s a semi-futurist world of AI supercomputers, autonomous vehicles, and mass adoption of robots…they still didn’t foresee the smartphone.
The timing of the technologies depicted in that film is looking increasingly prescient….
The transition will happen, but it's faster and more widespread than any previous one. People, the economy, and the job market have less time to adapt. It's going to be an interesting couple of decades.
This piece really made me think, what if that Ginko Bioworks timeline really holds, imagine the exponential acceleration of scientific progress.

Another great round-up.

I just hope Grok doesn’t turn out like VIKI
Thanks! It is funny how some technologies get missed in all the sci-fi, and some just seem to be inevitable.
Smartphones are something that got completely missed. It's so weird.
Everyone thought we'd maybe have wrist communicators, basically mini walki-talkies, and that's it. Maybe "tracking devices" too.
