2016 - AI beats humans at Go
2019 - AI beats humans at Starcraft II, beginning of Machine Learning AI Winter
2020 - Coronavirus slows tech and induces recession
2025 - AI Summer arrives, new ML and human mind modelling techniques show potential for generalised learning abilities by solving a game like Monkey Island, genomics projects begin to identify genetic targets for stopping aging and other diseases, fine motor skilled robotics in early stages, Bitcoin reaches $100,000, after long recession, Nasdaq reaches 20,000. Neuralink launches a brain computer interface capable of increasing work productivity by 10-100x.
2035 - The first years of the AI Renaissance, a general learning machine is now capable of learning any jobs, combined with a fine motor skilled robot, the best software and hardware performs at expert level in many disciplines such as medicine, programming, civil engineering and research, while falling short in policy making and qualitative, subjective professions. Their work leads to an extreme ramping up of research and development in AI, genomics, medicine, pharmacology, nanotech, space, in fact all industries. In a single year, there is more productive output in the USA than the entirety of the 20th Century. After the first human landing of Mars, robots are largely used to sustain the colony. Roastie uprising against the launch of the Tesla Cyberthot. Nasdaq reaches 250,000.
2045 - Robots that look like humans but perform at superhuman level are commonplace. Virtual reality, the internet and the human mind are merging into a non-distinct spectrum of awareness and massive information exchange. Human disease ceases to exist, death is now optional to those who are part of the grid (99.999% of humans). Biological bodies are merely an optional fashion accessory. Star Citizen enters beta testing. Nasdaq obsolete as new postcapitalist information economy accelerates.
2050 - The singularity.
