where are we in history

Post by banned »

I was reading about chess and super computers

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/ ... perfection

24 years since deep blue. people are tryting to use AI to make art, but it looks more like a sales pitch for digital surveillance than it does actual art. it's 100 years since dada; 99 since the waste land was published; 85 since wii broke out.

does the future even exist?

2000AD was once the distant future; Mega-City One was the post apocalyptic super city with flying cars and psychic mutants.

Here we are now over 20 years past that date, still releasing cassette tapes and using BBCode forums.

Not to be fucking Mr obvious dick but this isn't random this is an MISC topic


Where are we?
We are due for an ice age in the next few 1000 years and guess what happens before am ice age....it heats up...and guess how fast the cold can come...look at wooly mamoths frozen solid with green vegetation in thier mouth. How cold do you think it has to be to freeze a wooly mammoth solid so the meat is still kinda edible 10,000 years later(now)..I saw an estimate of negative 250 F.

So that's where we are at. AI...how do you think machines fare in negative 100 F? Not that well. Most common materials will Just break at temps like that. Someone else can look up how electricity and computers react to those temps
Lucite was developed to protect space bound electronics from heat and cold but....
The AI better start resewrdhing low temp material technology and ways to use those material for microchips or whatever(I'm sure there's a solution)

Yeah I sold quite a lot on eBay earlier this year. Thats when I discovered he had lobbed out Space Hulk, Hero Quest and Necromunda. Gutted. I see they just relaunched Heroquest - 40 year old nerds the world over are gonna have a good Xmas.

I don't beieve there is much of a future...rather The Now and the past kind of throw shock waves in front of them that can maybe or do have an effect of the now or people experiencing the now. I mean aside from actual consequences....I don't have the words to explain what I'm trying to say...
