If you had asked someone in the 90s if they could imagine half the shit that we have technologically they wouldn’t believe it. Just because something seems surreal, doesn’t mean it’s fake.
Whether this new chip can do the things it claims we’ll see soon enough.
Nnnnnno?
I mean, I was a kid in the 90s and I feel like we’re behind what I expected in most respects.
The ideas have always been there, it's just a bottle neck on cheap electronics and people figuring out the foundation technology. I can't think of to many tech advancements that have surprised me; that's not too say they aren't impressive, but just about anything we can imagine is possible.
The main thing I don't expect to see is useful and reliable brain/electronics interfaces. I think biology is too unique for an of the shelf product to be possible, which means it's too hard to make a profitable product.
