Humans won't be here by that time. The tech singularity is set to happen around ~2050. After that humanity will either become sentient robots or be destroyed by them. After that we have no fucking idea what will happen as beings 2-10X as intelligent as a human will inhabit the earth.

If Moore's law keeps going, we'll have AI within this century, and it'll only get smarter. Even trying to imagine technology a hundred years from now seems impossible to imagine. By 2500 we'll probably consume the entire universe at this rate.
>>
>>55098898
We will have either fought a catastrophic war that sets humanity back centuries, or we'll all have joined the Collective, with half our brain being composed of Google patented technology.

You're projecting quite hard there lad, take your meds please. Nobody said anything about water wars or world war 3, which is already happening by the way,
>>
>>55100397
Even if you could travel at the speed of light, we would only get to a few close by star systems with 500 years. There's actually a limit of how far we can go before we can't outweigh the expansion of the universe, that's actually not very far at all and would still take millenias.

Don't start about wormholes, they don't work, never will.
Watch less sci-fy.

>implying it even matters

Neural networks are literally the most parallelizable thing possible.
Your brain works in like 100Hz.

We can't make smaller transistors but we will soon be able to make incredible shitloads more of them.
>>
>>55103113
A brain work's actually around 2.4MHz
>>
>>55103113
You where talking about Moores law, witch has nothing to do with your neural networks, dipshit.

>>55100104
Actually people of the 1800's where roughly right, but 1500? They tought it will be like Ancient Greek was.
>>
>>55103143
Not really. Some of the transferred information might be encoded at higher "sampling frequencies", but the main "clock" (alpha, beta etc waves) are at 5-100 Hz, typically 10.

>>55103156
Moore's law roughly says "We can put up to X transistors in a given area economically"
It includes the transistor density which simply does not matter when dealing with neural networks and such low frequencies. The cost of the substrate can be extremely lower than typical silicon wafers which means moore's law does not matter than much in the context of neural networks, dipshit.

>Moore's law (/mɔərz.ˈlɔː/) is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.

And it has not, since for year's anymore.
How do you fail to see that?
You where the one to bring up the law, you could just have started with transistor density and not Moores law.
You made a mistake, now calm down buddy.

Btw, a brain ain't a silicone wafer, also our architectures for chips are way different, today's neural networks aint 1-1 neuron to transistor, what you are talking about would be a hardware architecture for neural processing like the brain does it.

kek, it wont happen for ages

Moore's law will continue to taper off until we don't see any returns - eventually going backwards because of the bureaucratic / incompetent nature of large companies. Things like Intel ME and AMD's AMT will creep into chipsets and intergraded circuits until every single device has an unknown number embedded systems. Governments will have varying degrees of control over mundane things like smoke alarms and fridges.

With the low hanging fruit taken from the internet companies, the last revolutionary unicorns will be gimmicky and pointless. Eventually large companies will gobble up all the large apps that everyone uses.

Sustainable energy will slowly win out over fossil fuels. Not because of a push for the technology, but because of economics. Self driving cars become the norm. Health science stagnates because of large pharma.

Demographics of western countries pass the tipping point where whites aren't the majority, and in most of these countries extremist religions will push hard for very tight censorship with little to no innovation. There will be occasionally a new Facebook or Uber come out of the woodwork, but it will be once every few decades.

Third world countries in Africa continue to overpopulate until a superbug caused by intensive farming causes a massive epidemic. This will cause mass immigration and war. Weapons of mass destruction will be used and what's left of the western countries will be ruined. Russia, despite being backwards, will be the sole superpower for few centuries with China. Most technology will be produces in these two countries. The technology from this war will be useful, though won't reach the revolutionary usage of the internet or space travel like after WW2 and the cold war.

Year 0-1000 - pretty much the same, some random changes to stuff like roads and farming

Year 1000-1500 - pretty much the same, buildings got cool

year 1500-1900 - pretty much the same, we get some engineering shit and >muh industry

1900-2000 - pretty much the same except buildings get a bit taller and we invent >muh computers

humanity doesnt change that fast guys. in the year 2500 it'll be a slightly more polished version of the year 2016. nothing unique will happen. it's a long way before >muh singularity >muh WW3 ...

You're understating the changes in engineering and industrialism, and especially understating the invention of computers and the global network we call the internet.

Flint knapping will make a comeback.
Basic subsistence agriculture at best, some kind of stone age hunter-gather shit at worst.
500 years is just long enough to have all 30 or so billion people who live in that time compost away.

If you think we're going to keep high technology you're hoping for war. Without some serious wars in the future we're losing our technology.

We need a war to cull the population, and soon. Not that I think mass death is good, it's just it's either huge mass death now, or collosal mass death, possible extinction later.

Won't we have run out of oil in the next 500 years? Good thing we won't be around for that.

No, we've got enough oil in shale to kill five earths.

when crude goes above $100/barrel, it become economical to extract it from shale.

I image 1) energy will be renuable completely and all jobs will be automated.

By then we will have started heaps of colonies and made contant with aliens for sure.

I just hope we arent destroyed in part by far left or right wing agenda.

Also it will either be pure capitolist or we will work for a greater good.

A massive artificial growth distributed among multiple star systems.

Though I suspect it will be vastly more lively than grey goo, embodying every form imaginable.

This is in the absence of paradigm changing physics discoveries, which I suspect would result in the same albeit at a larger scale.

I agree about the singularity, but I think we can come out of it in some way, but not the same as we go in.

Who wants us to stay the same anyways though? I look forward to exchanging feelings through wifi implants that connect us all to a collective processor, we could link up to produce a human internet and outsource certain processes, upgrade our own minds by directly connecting with other people learning from them faster or handing data over to them instead. I think intelligence will become more an issue of use cost and our roles would be situational.

Why would a higher intelligence consciousness be intrinsically hostile towards us though?

I guess technically humanity as we define it today will be over in the next 200 years on most of the planet, assimilation is inevitable you will be assimilated. Resistance is FUTILE
