The Tech That Could Define 2023 (and Beyond)

The metaverse. Artificial intelligence. These technologies are here and already shaping our world in ways you may not realize. We take a closer look at how they are taking hold and tackle some commonly asked questions.

  1. “Dawg Rotter” ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ a slave tongue, stink stink stink, company man, murder ink, a white whale of a tale, 🐳🐳🐳pull’n rope, the tall sails the capes of fear. ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

  2. Today is a new year  in the history of nature and human civilization 🌏 🎬 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 .
    I dream this year that the following will happen:
    May peace prevail in this amazing world
    – To end the culture of spreading discord among the peoples of the world 🌏
    – To transfer the costs of travel to a space similar to the cost of a tourist trip between America and Russia. 🇺🇸 🤍 🇷🇺
    To respect religions in social media
    Love inhabits our planet 🌏 💗 🌏
    – And I dream of thinking that I can visit all the countries of the world, one country, one country, to learn about the culture of its peoples and their living with them for days 🤭😂.
    What do you dream about in this new year, write here!!👇🌹

    1. A one world country would equal a one world culture. All the cultures in the world would lose their independent cultures, and in a few short decades the world would have 1 big mono culture.

      Or it would turn out like Vancouver, Canada, where gangs of Chinese fight gangs of east Indians, which fight with gangs of black people, which fight white gangs, so on and so forth.

      Which would you prefer with a one world government/country… a mono culture or a global civil war?

    1. Software is tricky because it is important to do program commands in a certain amount of time. However, it may take a long time to do certain things. Like, if you try to do a certain task that takes into account 16 items, it might take 16 × 16 units of time to solve the problem. 16 × 16 is still small, but when you try to say, take into account many pixels in a 3D world, and have to deal with say, 10,000^3 items (10K × 10K × 10K items), and it takes 10,000^6 units of time to solve it, everything suddenly becomes complicated. Software programming is always a struggle to solve things as quickly and efficiently as possible, because the nature of trying to solve problems is that it too often takes exponentially larger to solve as you deal with more stuff, and in programs that require fast update rates, such as a video game, it becomes hard to do this. I’m not at all familiar with the details of virtual reality software, but I could imagine it’s a lot more demanding for efficient software than a typical 3D video game

    2. @Justin Munoz True, but the type of problem you described is what quantum computers will be excellent at

  3. Probably will need better tech so you don’t miss the count down this year, again. Maybe CNN just needs to higher their expectations for employees.
    How do you miss the countdown??? You’re an embarrassment all around.

  4. The Japanese send me an alien electrical signal. I can feel the thoughts and senses of alien. And alien move my body. help me please. This technology can make everyone sleep and then kill them%%~~~

  5. NFSC AT AMFEST2022
    ‼️BOOTH 126 & 127 ‼️
    “We know more than anyone why America must stop communism”
    SAVE AMERICA, TAKE DOWN THE CCP!

    1. American society is crumbling, some neckbeard sitting in his bedroom on a computer is the least of our worries.

    2. @Sam Man I don’t know. A lot of the mass shooters seem to be incels. Solving one problem may have an effect on the other.

  6. Even Musk realized that AI poses an existential threat to the human species. Super computers will soon be a thousand times smarter than Einstein. If AI is given decision making powers, it could very well decide that humans are an annoyance and need to be eliminated, just like many sci-fi movies have depicted.

    1. I wonder if Musk poses an existential threat to the human species. The lucid realization that he really is no smarter than any of us and that he has been so possessed by erroneous narcissistic tendancies that effect us is concerning.

    2. @Michael  he’s a threat because you don’t agree with him?

      What has he done to threaten humanity?

    3. @Do it all Dan Michael might be working in politics/government. Elon exposed the truth of corruption within the government, that threatens his job…

  7. The tech that will change the world is happening already, the AI scientist. For example, take protein function and form. Since 1950, 100,000 proteins have been analyzed and modeled at an average cost of $100,000 each. An AI looked at the data and unraveled the remaining 1,900,000 proteins in nature almost instantly, almost for free. This is one of 100s of AI scientist leaping R&D forward for the first time in human history. Healthcare, longevity, energy, physics, chemistry, material science are all about to explode with new discoveries and solutions. That is real change, not the marketing fiction of the Metaverse.

  8. Homeless people will live on the streets plugged into an alternative reality with weed and they just fade away.

  9. I remember feeling really excited about VR at a 3D conference back in 1988, convinced it would change everything. My dad’s still waiting for flying cars, too.
