proven technology. already shown ability to assisting in unsolved problems in other fields. has near unlimited funding so will be developed at a fast pace
2. material science/solid state physics
better hardware means solving formerly intractable problems
3. quantum computing if it ever exists
better hardware means solving formerly intractable problems
4. computational biology
alphafold literally found errors in experimental protein modeling. this field has just started to develop for real
5. aerospace
muh space imperium.
i'm half-memeing because all the other fields will benefit greatly from the first 3 it's just a matter of which one gets more funded first
main concern is there's a chance we're kinda completely fucked because less people will have domain knowledge and just become programmers
