When will the first "alcubierre drive" be invented?

Probably never, unless we can figure out to make negative energy.

It will be invented when Artificial Intelligence and super computers are able to calculate and implement simulated data into real world application
I have said this before and believe it more and more, AI will begin to make scientific breakthroughs as it continues to advance quicker than humans would ever be able to in the coming decades and centuries.
If an AI can find a way, Alcubierre drives are possible, but if an AI says it isn't possible I am obliged to believe the computer over any doofus with a degree in anything
Trust the AI anon, it will begin to unlock the universes secrets as long as we can ask the right questions and input correct data for it to crunch

Why not though? There are still some holes in the idea, but we'll figure those out in time.

Never. Travelling between stars will take centuries at best and methods will have to be created to keep people asleep for the duration. The universe will be a lonely place and crossing the distances will be the greatest challenge of all.

There is no proof of negative energy. If it can be directly observed, then I agree with you in that it's only a matter of time until the kinks are worked out and the Alcubierre Drive becomes a valid method of travel. That being said, it's currently confined to just being a rather interesting piece of sci-fi.

Alcubierre drive (just like wormholes) are a cope. The science has been settled a long time ago: it is IMPOSSIBLE to to travel faster than light. Deal with it already.

Second, I don't even understand why everybody insists on FTL when relativity ALREADY provides a mechanism travel across the entire universe in one life time. With enough energy and near 99.999999% c you could travel to andromeda and back in 30min if you wanted to. Yes, it will be millions of years that will have passed for earth but this is not a problem for an intelligence with sufficiently slow metabolism (such as uploading ourselves to virtual reality that alters our time perception). Nobody said that monkey creatures will necessarily be the ones fly across the galaxy. It's up life to adapt to nature and not the other way around.

What does dark matter have to do with negative energy? Dark matter has positive mass-energy.

Already testing an early prototype right now. Effect is weak due to low power,could still be useful for satellite station keeping. Not much news lately.

Teleporting isn't traveling faster than light
I find it funny how brainlets find this concept hard to understand
Although it is still uncertain whether teleportation and traveling through space-time is in effect a form of time travel or not, that is something I would be interested in finding out

You experience no acceleration inside of a warp bubble-no relativistic effects occur to you, and thus you aren't limited by a lorentz transformation. you can't follow paths that lead to absurdities like time travel due to quantum feedback effects-it's like trying to go north of the north pole.

Alcubierre warp drive isn't about traveling faster than the speed of light, it's about shifting space around an object so that the object arrives at it's destination more quickly than light would.

My apologies, I was not aware of this.That being said, I was referring to exclusively dark matter.

Although this is an interesting theory, what I stated still holds. There is currently no proof of negative energy. This theory has not been tested yet. I agree that negative energy is a possibility. If it moves past validity as a theory and into truth, then the Alcubierre Drive is absolutely possible, but until that is determined, it's a big maybe.

The alcubierre drive obviously must be possible since our little planet is being visited like a zoo by interstellar vehicles.
