I am still waiting for a cure to cancer. For a guaranteed prophylactic against Alzheimer's and dementia. For flying cars for everyone. For space bases throughout the solar system. For weather control. For all trains to be self-driving. For all those power lines across the world to go away. For an end to poverty.
If things are going so well, then how come things still aren't going so well?
>For all trains to be self-driving
Given that we have self-driving cars, isn't this easier if someone really wanted? I guess compared to cars the marginal savings is not worth it though.
We do have self driving trains! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driverless_train_syste... however I think the ask of ‘all’ trains to be self driving is sadly still a while away yet
I mean I’m waiting for like any quality software or media produced by AI. I have yet to see a piece of software, a game, graphic, blog post, small video clip, or song that was produced with AI that’s good. I always use that Coca Cola ad as an example; millions of dollars spent to make an AI ad and they even did a ton of manual post production and it sucked. With all the millions of bloggers and influencers and content creators out there with a huge incentive to make higher quality content to beat their competition, you’d think there would be one piece of content produced with AI that was great.
This is an element of the delusion. The koolaid drinkers will all tell you that we're on the edge of AGI, but if you ask them for simple examples of breakthroughs made by current AI, they can name none. The entire thing absolutely wreaks of mass psychosis.
Would the recent AI-aided math proofs count as breakthroughs?

cancer is more than one thing. probably wont happen until we can manipulate the "binary" of life at will and we're very far from that. maybe a few years of ASI would get there depending on compute
