In 1983 Asimov predicted the world will be run by computers and AI in 2019
In 1983, the Toronto Star invited Asimov to predict the answer to a specific question: "What will the world look like in 2019?" I

The "mobile computerized object" will "penetrate the home," and the increasing complexity of society will make it impossible to live without this technology.

Computers will disrupt work habits and replace old jobs with ones that are radically different.

Robotics will kill "routine clerical and assembly-line jobs."

Society will need a "vast change in the nature of education must take place, and entire populations must be made "computer-literate" and must be taught to deal with a "high-tech" world."

He predicted that technology will revolutionize education (correct), but that traditional schooling will become outdated as kids become able to learn everything they need to know from computers at home.

Re: In 1983 Asimov predicted the world will be run by computers and AI in 2019
Asimov’s mind way back in 1983: ‘It is not that computerization is going to mean fewer jobs as a whole, for technological advance has always, in the past, created more jobs than it has destroyed… However, the jobs created are not identical with the jobs that have been destroyed.’
‘the jobs that will disappear will be just those routine clerical and assembly line jobs’ that are simple, repetitive and ‘stultifying’, and have, on the whole, continued to exist in huge numbers with the addition of computing technology. Once ‘computers and robots’, or to update Asimov’s terminology slightly, Artificially Intelligent programs and robots, enter the workplace on a large scale, ‘it is these [jobs] that computers and robots for which they are perfectly designed will take over.’

In December(2018), at the CASP13 meeting in Riviera Maya, Mexico, DeepMind beat seasoned biologists at predicting the shapes of proteins, the basic building blocks of disease.
Armed with the latest neural-network algorithms, Deep-Mind did more than what 50 top labs from around the world could accomplish.
In a blog post, the company bragged that its protein models were “far more accurate than any that have come before,”
opening up “new potential within drug discovery.”

Re: In 1983 Asimov predicted the world will be run by computers and AI in 2019
We are being programmed by the computers we use. Technology has shaped our attention spans. Computers are learning from us, speaking to us by shaping our thoughts through digital information. We are currently feeding machines fear. Technology was created by man for our benefit, we must learn to walk hand in hand with machine and continue to push the limits of our technology, only out of fear. That means people like Elon Musk musk go. Ha. Sorry.

Consider the life of a chronic fapper/coomer. Their brains are so dependent upon the computer like a drug, that they themselves begin to think more like a machine the longer they try to abstain from it. The machine begins to control them sooner or later, with the sole purpose of getting them back into the computer chair for a fap session. Coomers are the first cyborgs, the first symbiotes, the first artificial intelligence.

The world is now being run entirely by the machines, not in an intelligent sense, but the unknown reasons why we have created them. As technology refined itself, it settled on 4 minutes and 20 seconds as the perfect length for a pop song. The machines are trying to get mankind to grow more marijuana to heal global consciousness. Perhaps even the Covid epidemic was somehow inspired by machines, the remnants of binary code, the ghost in the machine, in order to get us to stay home and spend more time with the machine.

Thread: Elon Musk’s Neuralink Will Be Able To Stream Music Directly To Your Brain

Elon Musk claims AI will overtake humans 'in less than five years'
“My assessment about why AI is overlooked by very smart people is that very smart people do not think a computer can ever be as smart as they are. And this is hubris and obviously false,” he said.

"We’re headed toward a situation where AI is vastly smarter than humans and I think that time frame is less than five years from now. But that doesn’t mean that everything goes to hell in five years. It just means that things get unstable or weird."

Elon Musk: “We do have a major program at Tesla which we don’t have enough time to talk about today called “Dojo”. That’s a super powerful training computer. The goal of Dojo will be to be able to take in vast amounts of data and train at a video level and do unsupervised massive training of vast amounts of video with the Dojo program – or Dojo computer.”

“Tesla is developing a NN training computer called Dojo to process truly vast amounts of video data. It’s a beast! Please consider joining our AI or computer/chip teams if this sounds interesting.”

Computers are used to CONTROL and SUPRESS the public making the elites that infiltrate the bureaucracy have an easier time to do it.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" - Isaac Asimov, column in Newsweek (21 January 1980)
