People often don't think about what would happen if some things got legalized EVEN IF they were possible. (No offense to 2nd grade you, by the way. Adults are also like this.) There are so many cars, and there would be traffic jams in the air. (Being that we don't have any technology for perpetually hovering in place...helicopters are the closest, but they require refueling...you can imagine the problems involved.) You could not fly anywhere, due to airspace restrictions. (You'd be surprised how few places you can even fly drones.) And there's another problem it would share with being able to teleport anywhere - meaning you get in a machine and there doesn't have to be a machine on the other side that allows you passage. With both flying cars and "anywhere" teleportation, we are one Allahu Akbar, Punch-A-Nazi, BLM, Q, or other incident away from where the White House goes bye-bye. Fences and walls won't matter. Of course borders wouldn't matter, but they barely matter now. Just looking into these things shows that there are a lot of changes stemming from a new technology. I bet the Wright Brothers weren't thinking of firebombings of London, Dresden, and Tokyo when they were taking off over Kill Devil Hills...

This might sound like over-idealistic dreameryism or whatever the kids call it these days, but lend me your eyes for a moment just so I can explain why the optimism from the 1990s and 2000s wasn't entirely off base but failed to anticipate the slump that occurred. Very much a "Sir, this is a Wendy's" tier comment coming up. 1: Let me explain *_foundational futurism_* which is my personal term for all the little things that build up to give us the fun, big things that we identify as The Future™ (there's likely an actual professional term for it that'll allow everyone to disregard my term). The idea is that you can't get a rocket ship without the Chemical Revolution, advances in metallurgy, and breakthroughs in ICBM tech. Likewise, you can't get the internet without massive infrastructural projects, fiber optic advancements, and the existence of computers to begin with. We expect loads of advanced tech to just fall into our lap because "It's Current Sci-Fi Year, Where's My Jetpack?" The chief problem with foundational futurism is just how _agonizingly boring it is_ to discuss. The Future™ turned out to be enterprise portals, business-rules management, wikis, and smartphones when everyone wanted interstellar portals, bioaugmentation, and sexbots. But when you really break it down, how exactly do you get to things like advanced AI? The "good ol' fashioned" idea is that you just punch in loads of rules and a map of the brain into a sufficiently powerful computer and voila. The latest SOTA (state-of-the-art) AIs show glimmers of generality (mainly the likes of GPT-3 and DALL-E), and they're only possible with big data and extreme compute. Crunching petabytes of data in a day just to connect words to meanings. Try making something like GPT-3 when there's only a few thousand computers worldwide and they all have 3600-baud connections and a collective total of 500 megabytes of data on all of them at any one time. So you need advancements in computers, but you also need things like smartphone proliferation, mass documenting of the world, mass uploads of documents like books and conversations, and much much more. It's a constellation of developments just to create one thing that's futuristic. Or, in other words, laying down the foundation to build a starscraper. Perhaps _the_ single most infamous example of this is fusion power. We all know the meme "fusion is always 50 years away," but have you ever stopped to ask _why_ it's always 50 years away? The plainest answer is that it's not funded well enough, but even that doesn't sum up the whole picture. The cold fact is just that in order to build fusion power plants, we need to develop the technology needed to develop the technology needed to develop fusion power plants, and that alone involves a wider array of things to create. Directly funding fusion is a misunderstanding; we're really funding the research labs that develop the disparate innovations that'll ultimately culminate in fusion power. Or, in other words, we're currently stuck building the technological foundations of the future." Foundational futurism, if you will. But that's not as easy to remember as "fusion is always 50 years away." 2: Pop hype and forgetting the "fiction" in science fiction. These magazines dumb a lot of the bigger, loftier concepts down to the layman so they can be easily understood, but the fundamental issue is that some of these developments, innovations, and technologies really can ONLY be properly understood with a scholarly level of knowledge; you can certainly dumb them down to understand them, but you invariably wind up comparing them to science fiction concepts that are much more advanced and often never intended to actually be feasible. Science fiction is usually a cautionary tale of present trends, but it's also FICTION. Even the hardest of science fiction has to follow narrative conventions and plot beats that all but forces events to happen for some dramatic stake (literary and maybe kishotenketsu-based sci-fi can get around this, but those aren't common in the West). So combine an over-generalized understanding of technology with a need to fit it all into pop cultural tropes and cliches, and then couple that with a desire to catch readers' eyes and you have all those magazines' fanciful tales of why 2020 would be on the verge of Star Trek. Think of flying cars. We have passenger drones now that serve the same purpose; they're actively being tested. Drone taxis resolve the biggest issue flying cars always had: the horrifying prospect of a human pilot. Imagine a drunk or depressed teenager flying their car around; we'd be looking at megadeaths within a year just in singular countries. Autonomous vehicle technology is necessary for true flying cars (see: foundational futurism above), but popular sci-fi seems to hate the idea of a computer controlling your flying car, supposedly the ultimate machine of freedom. And even when the concept of flying cars is brought up, you're lucky if anyone mentions the possibility of autonomous vehicle tech overcoming that limitation because repeating how crappy humans are at navigating 2D space, let alone 3D space, is funnier and appeals to more people and dominates the discussion. 3: Revolutionary curves. If you've ever discussed AI and the various esoteric concepts around it, you've probably heard about "S-curves" at some point. This is basically true for technological developments in general. We've actually been here before, disillusioned with a sudden lack of progress after decades of extreme innovation. Heck, we've been here TWICE. We've already had three industrial revolutions before now, which were roughly 50 to 60-year long bouts of rapid technological improvement and the social/political/economic changes that resulted. But what isn't often taught are the slumps in between, which usually last 15 to 25 years, where the change slows and become more or less iterative improvements over what was developed while the next generation is created in the background, yet to explode. The end of the first industrial revolution back in the 1830s caused an economic depression! However, there wasn't much angst about "technological stagnation" because most of the changes never reached the hands of the common people and the idea of technological progress was an alien concept to people back then to begin with, who considered society to scarcely be different from that of the Ancient Greeks other than grander empires and some extra steam power. The end of the second was around world war 1's end, and there was definitely a sense around 1940 that all the great technological innovations had ceased a generation prior in the killing fields of France in lieu of everyone reloading for another pointless war. But in retrospect, this is bogus because of things like the aforementioned Chemical Revolution, discovery of penicillin, birth of rocketry, birth of modern computing, birth of televised media, and much more. At the same time, it's easy to forget that this didn't just pop into existence and become accepted overnight; heck, penicillin was still experimental up until World War 2, well over a decade after it was discovered. And it was after WWII that the Digital Revolution started and continued up until around 2000. However, the sheer hype over the year 2000 and the turn of the millennium (think back to how many movies and video games hyped up the year 2000 before it happened) kept a lot of that optimism going for several years until it became plainly obvious that we weren't in the throes of a cyberpunk age just yet and that the third industrial revolution ended right as 2000s-mania was getting started. All the pieces for the fourth are in place right now, and especially in the world of artificial intelligence some of the first hammers have even dropped, but it's definitely going to take a few more years before that recognition of technological acceleration returns. *TLDR: I reject your reality and substitute my own.*
@Yuli_Ban3 жыл бұрын
Keeping to the video's topic alone, a lot of the developments in computer science fall heavily under that "foundational futurism" thing I mentioned. The pop-sci magazines were dreaming of the final product and putting years on them when the lab-rats and boffins were still just trying to figure out what the hell a "gene" was and whether quantum physical _could_ behave well-enough for computing at all. Recent developments in things like the first-ever room-temperature superconductors may make quantum computers much easier to keep stable and error-correct (as this is what a lot of qubits are used up for), but at the same time they may also supercharge existing computing paradigms. We just need to manufacture room-temperature superconductors at pressures that don't nearly invoke a black hole. And there were other issues too, things that no one could have foreseen like the Thailand floods of 2011 permanently setting back hard drive progress (areal density is also an issue, but it's the floods that explain why HDDs haven't gotten much cheaper in a decade) or COVID-19 causing the near-total breakdown of global supply lines, bottlenecking GPUs and silicon manufacturing. But with new paradigms that are still under development, these might not be a problem for much longer. The issue is entirely "but how long will they remain under development?

Unless some catastrophic invent annihilates society, and human stores of information and professionals altogether.

In 1998 I was in 7th grade and I had to write a little prediction for the future of computers. I said that laptops would get smaller and less heavy so they were the size and weight of a notebook, and would have some alternate kind of input instead of a keyboard or mouse (too unwieldy). Maybe there'd be a way to draw on the screen with a pen? Just cuz, you know, that was what *I* wanted.

A few more predictions I can remember people being excited about : nano-machines (so nano-scale babbage engines), and polymorphic computers that combined deep learning and FPGAs to alter their circuitry in real time. There was also a hope around a resurgence of analog computing, replacing complex digital systems with simpler analog ones that could do complex calculations through various transforms.. kinda like quantum computer actually.

However, people forgot something REALLY important about these things. People have to use them. You have seen people drive, you know how they drive. Do you really think there is a safe way to have a flying car? Basically until we figure out a way to have these things fully autonomous with NO human controls we can't have them because humans suck.
