Perhaps if it's a weaponized kugelblitz.

The powerful wont let it happen.

An intelligent machine will allocate resources better than markets are able to. It would be the end of our antidiluvian monetary system and power of corporations and fincance.

what about AI as smart as humans?

when is that meant to happen?

Best SG1 episode bar none.

You misunderstand futurists.
Livechanging technology is always ageoffuturist-10 years away.


Remember when fusion was 20 years away in 1960?

Not in their control

And then everyone got scared of nuclear energy, it ruined decades of work in my country

It may never happen, if anything (God or Alien) is watching us they will definitely intervene before we create anything that could jeopardize the universe. For example, super intelligent self replacing von neumann probes or something like that.

Yes, but usually the best thing to happen in a century isn't predicted in its first 16 years.

No, fusion kept failing as it ate billions of dollars so it ended up being the first thing that governments cut the budgets of.
Fusion is touted as 'clean' energy, so if anything fear of nuclear would have fuelled fusion.
(Ignoring that fusion actually creates radioactive waste, but we're talking marketing)
What killed fusion is that no matter how many billions of dollars you pump into it, you get nothing out.

Except maybe a highly educated workforce of highly skilled technicians, scientists and engineers.
I mean 'muh jobs' is why the military eats billions of dollars, why can't 'muh jobs' be the same reason for sciencey things?

Why do people keep reminding me that there will never be another decent Stargate series?

i had a girlfriend growing up and she had this mom who was a NEET/shut-in on her computer 24/7

For me that already is singularity and I often daydream of living that lifestyle depressed but evolved beyond human interaction.

>>55055538
because natural gas and coal are HUGE lobbies and they own washington DC
