I'm generally optimistic about the next five years in the United States. Change has already started, but 2024 will make it more clear. Several societal pendulums are slowing, will reach apex, and reverse course. * Optimism will regain footing * Belief in positive application of technologies which shape earth and society, will increase * Conversation and information flows will recenter on individual responsibilities i…

I was rather grim in my previous posting - and I wasnt attempting to sound _extra_ grim... The things I mentioned are plainly visible, documented, videod, streamed, etc... However - I do like your optimism. THere will be a lot of really amazing things to come out of the next ~12 months even. Have you by chance watched the Tristan Haris and Aza Raskin on JRE (its the same talk, essentially, as given at summit) - I fee…

I've not run across that discussion / talk, but it sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip!

What will they do with it? In the videos I have seen it's just a bunch of people looking at photos on the couch or watching a movie, it looks boring. Do you think some sort of game will push it?

I’m not OP but I’ve always felt good VR will create parallel industries for travel, entertainment, etc. in ways way more interesting than gaming. Think of examples like seeing the Grand Canyon for 1/10 the price if you’re disabled or elderly. Or watching an official Taylor Swift concert like you’re actually there, for 1/2 price. No limits on ticket sales.

“Live” experience through VR is going to be big.

There will be a point at which the VR experience will be better than the “nosebleeds” (they may already be).

At that point this really expands the audience for live shows.

Webcam experiences (eg having a chat with a celebrity) are going to be in huge demand once VR gets good latency and resolution.

Or there’s some type of propulsion we’ve been experimenting with for a while, but it requires nuclear material in the sky, and country X seems to have figured it out too, so could they please stop.

I think it's quantized inertia that finally gives a theory to explain how to get around the need to carry reaction mass. I'm patiently waiting for Barry-1 to push itself up into a higher orbit in that manner. Here's the tracking page https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/graph-orbit-data.php?CA...

and aliens use PHP.

Meteor strike and end of the world. LOL. Kidding.

- 2024 will likely see a economic rebounding and more positive growth across most sectors. - Social media will be even more toxic and internet will get even more fragmented. Election year ain't gonna be a help in that department. - AI agents performing automated task to be more common. The biggest buzz this year was obviously Auto-GPT, and still kinda miff that it didn't blow up by the end of the year. Next year should see it going mainstream. - Generative video to be an actual thing. There are some progress on it this year, but is generally crap/unusable.
