Futurology

An interesting article describing the first very real steps towards a linguistic exchange of ideas with an animal; perhaps the non-human intelligence we have been seeking was right beside us the whole time

In the future it may be commonplace to genetically test an embryo for the likelihood of certain diseases, but the technology can do so much more; where do we draw the line?

Should insect protein become the dietary norm of the future, how will our descendants feel about our reactions to the first insect aisle in the local supermarket? Could we perhaps be the last generation to be seen as true meat eaters?

Lithium extraction from batteries has so far proven to be notoriously difficult; this recently published paper outlines a novel method of extraction which may have a great impacts on how we manage lithium resources as the demand for power storage continues to surge.

While we are locked once again in a heated debate about the future of our professions in the wake of ChatGPT, this article digs deep in to our past to reveal similar discussions surrounding of advancements in computer programming throughout history

As a user asked many times ~~confused into pissed once into funnily ignored every time~~ if mine were AI-generated or if I were a bot:

1.) How will ever I know if a post or a comment I read is not made by a human user?

2.) What will I do as a response to the text if found AI-generated?

3.) And then how will I be supposed to write a comment like what a human user does and when will it look like sus(picious) as AI-generated text? ~~thanks for comments, from a bot—just kidding.~~

Aside from having ridiculing my post, for a wanted seriousness, is it really possible to successfully identify that a user I will ever interact with is an AI bot? ~~(Honestly that's scary as it's already.)~~

I know the Internet, apps (softwares), smartphones (computers) and even CDs+HDDs+SSDs+any other mass storage devices has profoundly impacted human lifestyle, economics, culture and mindset(mostly by the social media/Internet as the current media of knowledge).

But AI only and first has now finally pushed a fact that information (data, databases & knowledge & even education & learning where human being can obtain and derive info through) is indispensable in an apparent economic, especially for opportunities and profitability, just like how internal combustion (IC) engines in cars, ships, trains, airplanes and any other transports (eased traveling, promoted suburbanization, boomed real estates, flourished cargo shipping, trended engineering degrees/programs and so much more) have made gas (& fuels/hydrocarbons) matter (as profit).

This AI coming will affect what we value, what humans are supposed to do (cause probably AI will just suddenly enter into every industry even creativity), what humans view (both macroscopically and existentially cause humans/we will live and deal with AI, our communities/systems will economically rely on AI, we or especially misfortunate people will alleviate, especially victims will survive, especially innocent people will protect, typically everyone will interact/become under AI dominance/governance or powerful ones governing AI).

Maybe that is why big tech companies on news are focusing on data computing and marketing strategies for audience/user engagement, while databases has already had a value(future money).

I have a daunting blurry conspiracy that something will happen to education (not only about schools but also teaching & contents) where humans learn to become whom they'll be, who will do what they've known, who will make happenings/changes.
