Other than AI ideally. I’ve long been fascinated by CRISPR.
Wanna hear about niche tech or anything y’all find fascinating
RISC-v
In response to you, have you seen GATICA it’s a great movie that shows clearly why that tech scares me.
I think batteries are super interesting, and sodium solid state batteries are a pretty huge innovation, but graphene batteries will be utterly insane if we can get there. Very interesting stuff.
Graphine being a single atom think sheet of carbon, which is dope!
On the long-term, none. In the short-term, FOSS no-code tools are finally allowing grassroot organizations to have self-hosted, customizable internal tooling without having to rely on devs or sysadmins. This has a lot of potential to overcome the failures of the last decades of hackerist unadoptable software.
Now I don’t understand this stuff very well. But I know I like everything FOSS. And I know I like self hosting. So this certainly sounds good
I used to be excited for ai, and, let’s just say, that excitement has dwindeled due to recent events.
I’m scared that the same happens to CRISPR honest
The issue with tech is the economic model its under. I can imagine a million dystopian changes to society.
The doctor in China for example.
Hey maybe China starts creating soldiers with four arms and the us does too and you have a new arms race.
Which recent events, out of curiosity?
well i guess it’s not too recent, but the A.I. boom kinda killed my interests I’ve had 7 years ago. i wish it would go back to its research phase.
I’m old enough to remember when using computers daily went from a dorky interest to something the cool kids were doing (MySpace etc). Obviously, how the two groups approached computers was quite different. Even how they approached social spaces on the internet.
Idk, haven’t thought about it much but I remember being pretty depleted about being interested back then. The things I was learning with basic coding and stuff could now be done in a couple of clicks, the resources were now more scarce, and the space became filled with money-people interested in promoting their brand
It’s AI but a specific use case of AI: an android at home to take care of the housework. Cleaning my dishes, doing the laundry, vaccuming and putting stuff away where it belongs are obvious use cases. But also:
- Go through your fridge and throw away everything that has expired or gone bad.
- Take care of your cat while you’re away on vacation.
- It’s your personal fire fighter.
- It paints your house or does any kind of house maintenance.
- Let’s say you’re in the middle of playing a board game on your dinner table but need to put it away for the night. Ask the android to memorize everything and put it away. The next time your friends come around to play, it can place everything in exactly the same spot.
Possibilities are endless.
Yeah! I’ve been asking chat gpt to take care of my daughter every day and I’ve not heard her cry in months!
There’s a couple of potential reasons for that…
