I just completed a 17,000 word report on all of the big changes society will go through over the next five years.
Ask me anything.

You're looking for reddit faggot.
oh wait they'll demand proof that you aren't a lying piece of shit...
I bet you're fun at parties.
Are you saying that Reddshit is better than Sup Forums?, hey mods, what you think of this??
Now that the EMdrive is proven to work, along with Lockheeds development of smaller nuclear power, when we colonizing space?
I'm not above doing Reddit, just love talking about this stuff, I'm on b, and it's all fresh in my mind, so I figured what the fuck, let's do it. Overall though, hard to compete with endless pictures of tits or another political bait post.
NASA's budget is absolutely tiny compared to what it was in 1969 when they landed on the moon. It's often the first public funding cut, because most people really don't care. I'm encouraged by the development of private companies like SpaceX, with Musk predicting he can get to Mars by the 2030s and establish a colony. I hope it happens!
I don't think NASA or any government organization holds the future of space colonization. Man will get to the cosmos by private enterprises. Just this man's humble opinion.
I wasnt talking whit you moron
I hope we can follow a similar model to the development of the Internet, remove as much regulation and taxation as possible, inject an enormous amount of public funding, and bam, giant Internet companies like Google and Facebook for people to use and also complain about using.
reddit is better than Sup Forums in almost every concievable way lmao. I visit Sup Forums the same way john lennon would visit a nickelback concert, to laugh at talentless retards
Sounds more like you're a grad student than an inventor
>the same way john lennon would visit a nickelback concert
Except he wouldn't do that. And you're hardly the Elton John of the internet
The report is for my investors and will be published as an eBook as well.
what can you tell me about IOT?
Well, vote conservative and get government out of the private industry. Create conditions of limited government regulation and taxation. Economy improves as well as the likelihood that such enterprises can take off.
But it's only 17,000 words?
And since space treaties really only apply to governments, I can't wait for Blackwater in space. That said, only a government can get to Mars because private enterprises run out of money. Rather than scrounging around on the floor for NASA's 1960s table scraps, if Musk really cared about space, he'd be lobbying for greater funding for NASA.

When you make a product that sells, then you are worth something. Till then, you are just another circle jerk academic too pussy to leave the charity college campus.
Basically, except I'm paying for a copy editor and I use patreon. I'm intrigued by the idea of inventing and giving stuff away for free, and still getting paid, but clearly there's a lot of cynicism.
Government runs out of money and/or interest as well. The passion and dedication of a private entity will go further than government bureaucracy.
I've worked for several startups, including as a cofounder, and successfully taken products to market. I have no academic degree of any kind, though I have worked at an engineering university.
you are stupid as hell. Says IOT and don't even mention Intel? Go research more OP
Hell man, even if you're full of shit, you're at least attempting to have higher cognitive conversation.
Sex bots.....when and how much?
Judging by the responses I've gotten, I genuinely wish I was full of shit. Most people have no interest in the future outside of buzzwords that mega corporations have spoon-fed them. Anyone remember The Cloud? How'd that work out? Real innovation is very different than Fortune 400 marketing campaigns.
>I've worked for several startups, including as a cofounder, and successfully taken products to market. I have no academic degree of any kind, though I have worked at an engineering university.
Working at an engineering university post-start-up is a disqualification in my book. You should have the university working for you.
Are you kidding? Easily available today, with some fantastically real "dolls" for $5k or so. I would genuinely love combining that craftsmanship with strong AI and mechatronics, but this was rejected by the doll community. The innovation they most want is a self warming vagina.
what's the timeframe until you automate yourself out of a job
the cloud worked out fine. big hype early on but now we're in the 'pretty reliable and delivering real benefits' phase of its existence.
We're just starting to move some of our shit to cloud services because, for the first time, it's cheaper and offers better reliability than onsite while satisfying our security requirements.
It's not the be-all and end-all but at the moment its a solid solution to a large subset of computing needs.

Enjoy being that broke genius at the corner of a coffee shop drinking cappuccinos upset at everyone half you have making more money than you while complaining they have no "real" knowledge.
How fucked are we as a species?
Difficult to say. AI programs are capable of a limited degree of creativity, as demonstrated by the short film thats written by AI that's on YouTube. However, it's definitely primitive so I don't think creative types will be automated any time soon.
Everyone else? Any time, soon.
No intelligent person posts on Sup Forums
Especially an intelligent successful person,
GTFO
Less people and a smaller overall percentage of the human race is living in extreme poverty than at any other time in history. We're doing fantastic as a species.
AI researcher here.
Sorry user, you kind of just fucked yourself with that answer. You have zero knowledge in the field and just referenced some shitty markov chain demo that happened to make international news.
any report written about 'the big changes society will go through' written by somebody who'll answer an AI question like that is going to be very, very wrong.
Alright then. How quickly do you think inventors will be automated out of a job?
if i can be bough back as a robot with my mind then whats the point of living?
Traditionally, things are alive so they can reproduce. But, if you want to get airy fairy about it, your life can mean whatever you want it to, or mean nothing at all.
Think ahead op!!! 30 years into the future also yeah the stuff that will come is just a more advanced and updated and integrated version of the stuff that's been seen in the past!!!
It's ok lol he was just trying to help the person
Kek'd hard

Yet another academic hack. Make product for what people want and not some academic ideal. When self driving cars are made illegal due to consumer liability lawsuits, these asshole will loose a lot of money. I doubt if Tesla Motors will survive the decade.
Elevators used to be human operated, but it turned out, automating it was safer. Airplanes have been upgraded with amazing levels of autopilot, and there are fewer crashes as a result. The same will be true for self driving cars.
Truck driving, by the way, is the number one job is 29 states. Hold onto your butts!
I love that way of thinking.

depends on the field and individual skill. Most 'inventions' are based heavily around one or more existing ideas combined or presented differently.
At a basic level, it requires feeding a huge amount of the basic items (like, say, the public history of patent records) . But generating a raw list of 'all possible things you could do' isn't enough, you need to also feed in a tonne of historical data about products and their popularity linked to the patents that went into them. That data is all out there.
A fairly standard learning algorithm could take out a lot of low-level inventions pretty fast (think R&D at major companies churning out defensive patents), and then as the algorithms improve it'd gradually take more and more jobs.
We're expecting AI to start taking fairly big chunks of paralegal jobs in the next 5 years. 'Inventions' aren't a fundamentally harder problem to solve than that, it's just a different problem.
Throwing a number out there, I'd say that in 15 years the invention space will be reserved for those capable of truly creative thought - last I heard that was a fraction of a percent of the population. But in the next 8 you'll see the first 'new' products that have been completely thought up and proposed by AI, and before then you'll see a tonne of parents generated by AI.
> patent
I wonder if they'll fight to get the AI recognized as the inventor and let it still be possession of the company that built it. Or if they'd rather make the AI believe their company is the only deserving of that invention.
>Elevators used to be human operated, but it turned out, automating it was safer. Airplanes have been upgraded with amazing levels of autopilot, and there are fewer crashes as a result. The same will be true for self driving cars.
Issue is that all those had public support for automation. The hard survey data is the mass automotive consumer market does not support self-driving cars. Self driving cars is a product with a lot of hype but no consumer market support. It is a high-tech fad that will go out like virtual reality, instant messaging and hula hoops. It will go into verticals like trucks and railroads since the insurance companies will underwrite that but not for consumer automotive.
People want freedom to drive as they want and not having a computer to tell them how they will drive their cars. The last three model years is showing a backlash to over automated cars. The best models that sell have less automation to the point mechanical keys are making a comeback getting rid of the push button and wireless fob fad.
What's up with these fibres ?

Do I have a second nervous system now ?
I hope it progresses that quickly. I think there's a lot of automated patent work to be done by combining concepts already well understood in one area and applying the concept on a different scale or a new problem. There are many, many patents that are incredibly similar to one another in this way.

Get used to it. Seen a lot of products never make it to market over liability. Self driving cars for mass consumer automotive is DOA in the USA.
Especially in smaller towns and with older customers, they'll want a car they can personally drive. For people that commute with car share services as it is, I don't think they much care if the driver is human or automation, so long as it's fast and smooth. It won't be a change overnight, but I think over the next five years, a lot of those truck driving jobs will go away.
>I don't think they much care if the driver is human or automation, so long as it's fast and smooth. It won't be a change overnight, but I think over the next five years, a lot of those truck driving jobs will go away.
With the current political climate, you will see a huge backlash to self driving cars and other forms of social automation. The consumer liability lawsuits against Tesla is already starting to pile up where it could compromise their integrity. My guess is we will see the best of the consumer liability (Ralph Nader has already spoken out against self-driving cars) go after them to the point where they will stop selling the self-driving option in the USA in the next five years.
That's a bold prediction! That would definitely be a huge shock to the industry.
>That's a bold prediction! That would definitely be a huge shock to the industry.
Self driving cars are nothing but one big fucking R&D tax write off. You'll see some niche verticals partially using the technology but it is a generation or two away from happening. If you are in the self-driving care business, I suggest you get out and find a specialty that will not make a stigma on your resume in the next five years.
yeah. when I used the parelegal example it was because of just how relevant it is - One of the best examples for it is patent law where a fairly low-level AI could easily identify existing prior art or related patents.
aside from that there are two actual problesm to solve:
-linking together patents that may actually work together, even if it's a nonintuitive link (wifi+sensor: yes. wifi+camel harness: no). This is the easier problem.
-figuring out which of those ideas might actually be popular and have a market. This will be the tricky part. A learning algorithm that builds on historical data is a starting point, but new markets emerge that haven't existed before.
Essentially, an AI that correctly anticipates new needs is going to be the real game changer. And it's going to happen - all the data about the world and what it needs is out there. Every new development, every complaint on an online forum about how something is inefficient or awkward or they wish something could happen. We just need to feed that into the right learning system and filter out the porn.
