i think in 100 years people will look back at 2022 and be even more astonished at how bad our quality of life was than we are looking back at people who lived 1000 years ago

In 100 years, digital diffusion would blur many lines drawn now between humans & gadgets.

your AI timelines always surprise me. IMO there wont be anything biologically human left in 100 years.

Do you think that people in 100 years will look back at QoL of people 10 years prior (90 years hence, for us) the same way we look at QoL ~100 years ago?

Materially or psychologically? An optimistic take that depends on so many things going 'right'. My bet is always.. whatever predictions you hear for the future, the future will always win the bet. (ie. the future will always surprise.)

100 yrs? We'll be that advanced in 20 years! So much advancement is designed out already but waiting for investors to catch up. I could literally put over a Billion to work today! Talking about entirely new food, water, transportation, small towns, energy, cargo, money & gov!

I too am optimistically wired to think that. Yet I can’t help but worry when I hear Peter Zeihan and Ian Bremmer say the exact opposite two weeks ago on the @SamHarrisOrg podcast: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

I think in the future they'll be shocked how people did surgery with metal tools, a few chemicals and crude electronics instead of just reprogramming the DNA to regenerate the body.

Do you think people will be around in 100 years? Seems very improbable to me given the course of AGI.
