>>11337078>Do you expect a technological singularity by then?Its possible but I don't expect it.
20 years ago technology was pretty shit. I would have never predicted that everyone would have a cell phone capable of streaming hd video from netflix over the cell network. So its possible adoption and advancement of things like self driving cars will happen just as quick. There will probably be things like drone delivery, that deliveries to wherever your cell phone is. You could be sitting on the beach and order a hat and a drone brings it right to you. The majority of jobs will probably be automated and there will be a basic income for everyone. Several companies, amazon, walmart, microsoft, are working on checkoutless stores, where you just walk in, pick up an item, and walk out, then your account gets billed. I imagine that becoming the norm, even in small shops. I don't expect AGI or a singularity in 20 years, but its a definite possibility. I epect major breakthrough in medicine cause by AI though, new drugs dicovered by AI, faster and more accurate diagnosis, treatments monitored and adjusted by AI, etc.
