#2- Big Tech becoming more privacy-friendly (just like Apple who just enabled end-to-end encryption on iCloud)
- Mostly a lot of the same stagnation we've seen in the tech industry for the past 5 years.
- Some sprouts of innovation around generative language, probably around fact checking, detecting and removing "hallucinations" from models. But probably not anything significant enough to significantly shift anything for every day users (probably have to wait 2025 for that).
- Crypto folks will keep believing that they're building the future, although everything indicates that Big Tech is finding a way to become safer, more private, without having to become fully decentralized.

#3Nothing particularly interesting outside of AI. But, a lot of interesting new products enabled by the integration of GPT-3, maybe even in the crypto scene.
For example, there have always been ideas floating around about creating a blockchain based repository of scientific knowledge or social media or whatever. The main blockers for ideas like that were always content moderation at scale: how do you know that what someone is uploading is legitimate or follows the rules? How do you moderate content without an overlord? There need to be systems in place to:
- filter out garbage and toxicity,
- allow heterodox submissions (no political censorship),
- and do it all without some kind of admin/moderator
Now GPT-3 can be used to pre-validate content. It can tell you whether a submission follows some kind of logical reasoning, isn't spam, and isn't anti-social. It's not 100% accurate, but it's good enough, and it can be tweaked.
Beyond that, GPT-3 can be used for all sorts of tools like automated codebase documentation (no more writing for developers, yay!), news trend-spotting (for traders/finance), generating landing page copy, etc.

> filter out garbage and toxicity
I find these kinds of descriptions confusing. What does "garbage and toxicity" mean? You might as well have written "filter out bad things", it would be equally vague and subjective.

#10* Generative imagery starts finding commercial use cases, with advertising as the first destination.
* Copilot continues growing among developers, and eventually reaches a point where it's as essential as autocomplete or syntax highlighting.
* Venture capital remains dry for half of the year.
* Someone - with bets on figma - ships a feature that auto generates react code from a design. This process is ripe for automation.
* TiKTok continues to face greater pressure from US regulators and politicians until a US hosted spinoff is forced into creation.
