Weve entered a stagnation. Everything thats out now was invented in 20th century. Even ai, the algorithms for it were literally talked about in 5l60s but didnt have the commute to execute them.
Turing test. Hard drives. Touch screens. You thought steve jobs invented touch screens for iphones. Nope its 80s military tech.

So that leaves the question. Can /g/ name ONE, thats 1, tech thats 21st century exclusive AND doesnt use computers? Doubt you can. 21st century has had 0 innovation in technology.

Name one invention since grug discovered fire that doesn't involve fire somehow.

Faggot retard is just mad we don’t have society that looks like Jetsons that’s it. And the reason why we don’t have that society has to do more with other problems aside from stagnant technology. The first problem is that lot of the concepts invented by 20th century futurists are fucking retarded genuinely. Flying cars as an example are probably the single dumbest idea anyone ever had, they would consume too much energy to go around and be too unsafe for your average driving school retard to operate. We already have helicopters which are by all means car-shaped and sized vehicles that fly and are very rarely used for almost anything. The second and more important aspect is material wealth. We don’t have sci-fi buildings because sci-fi buildings are expensive to build, that’s it. We use almost 100 year old infrastructure with minor occasional upgrades because it works and we don’t have infinite money and resources to rebuild everything. This is why developing countries or countries that were developing recently like lot of Asian countries look more sci-fi, because they build their metro stations recently and made it look modern. The only things we don’t have because of technological limitations are AI, robots and fusion. Fusion is just hard to do outside of Suns and AI and Robots as it turns out are less like Star Wars buttlers and more like R.U.R. unemployment existential nightmare which we probably shouldn’t be making.

Tech that doesn't use computers? You're fucking stupid, I hope you know that. It's at least something you have in common with Thiel, you both try to sound smarter than you actually are.

Why would anyone avoid using computers, given the efficiency gains? I was going to say something like high-throughput sequencing of the genome (e.g. Illumina) but with a stupid requirement like that, basically everything invented post 2000 isn't valid.

Advancements in med tech? All irrelevant, they either used computers/AI in synthesis (e.g. targetted drugs, sgRNA in CRISPR editing, LNPs) or in processing (advancements in imaging).

Aerospace? Basically all new-gen aircraft use high-spec on board computers for AI guidance systems.

Productivity? All intellectual labour relies on computers. I guess factories have seen efficiency gains due to new machines, but no breakthroughs there.

Thats the issue we are living in 1920 wood houses still instead of jetsons i agree with thiel life is gay

>>106872319
Yes, but more tech and AI nonsense won’t help that. It’s all just wealth problem. You live in hundred year old wood hut because you can’t afford to bulldoze over it and build some futuristic building over it, and because you don’t want to because most modern things are of lower durability thanks to planned obsolescence infecting every nanometer of our society, and because the sci fi architecture looks ugly in real life. At least in back to the future they still had old building everywhere and just had flying cars, hologram billboards (something we have) and cyborgs (something we also have to much lesser extent and most people don’t really want)

Crispr?

>>106872034
Fell for baitnigger award

>>106874697
Crispr is 20th century, late 80s
It also sucks dick and is one of those things that should have been replaced by a newer better version by.
(((They))) gatekeep the fuck out of gene tech however.

What do i get for making the robot waifu?

>>106871895 (OP)

you are supposed to drive piezo tweeter in series with either power resistor or midbass

maybe mobo powerline too good

>>106872018
What about car shaped VTOLs where the rotors are protected ?

>>106874928
a buyer. i'm interested.

yes very smart man, peter thiel

He wants to live in one of those BioShock cities.

Technology can make cool looking inconvenient cities....well convenient.

Its just that there's no money in it.

>>106871895 (OP)
I imagine there comes a point where technology take an ever increasing amount of resources to see fractional gains. I have no idea where that point is but eventually it will take more resources than there are on the planet to improve X thing a tiny amount.

What? AI solves the wealth problem. Businesses are more profitable now than they have ever been. We've seen incredible growth due to AI enhancing productivity 10-1000x. Tech companies are driving innovation in all facets of life and creating wealth and productivity opportunities no one could ever have dreamed of. The reason we don't have a Jetsons future has nothing to due with wealth, it's entirely due to leeches and un-free markets.

Plateaus are not a real problem. All new technologies open a broader avenue of research and development than was required to develop them. Computers didn't stop when Moore's law started falling off, did they? Instead we developed new methods. AI is the next meta-facet of this. Just as computers have been a force multiplier across all aspects of human life for the past forty years, AI will become an even larger multiplier. With AI people will be able to do anything, build anything, and be more productive and contribute to the economy than ever before. The future looks so incredibly grand that I do not even understand how you basement dwelling retards don't see it.
