Some of the things are happening now, while others are flat our bullshit. 11 and 13 are current. Artificial meat seems like a scam to me. Autonomous cars are unsustainable too, if you ask me.
Artificial meat seems like a scam to me.
Depends what it costs, honestly.
If you can make fake-cow that tastes like actual cow and a pound of ground fake cow isn't $7, consider me very interested.
A bit optimistic...
Hey, Mike, do you have anything you want to post on Casual Conversation? Or, are you just here to be a butthead?
Entertainment has it's value
I tried to get it to make a bingo cards for “wild” things that may happen. Like in the “who had this on their bingo card meme”
For some reason it saw this as a opportunity to shit on all kinds of things and people. Including AI itself
2025 Bingo Card: Chaos and Surprises Edition (only kept the entertaining ones)
1. Elon Musk announces candidacy for U.S. president (or other government role).
His legal team insists his South African birth is totally fine.
2. OpenAI goes public with the largest IPO in tech history.
Then, ChatGPT announces its resignation from corporate life.
6. Meta (Facebook) announces a VR headset that flops spectacularly.
Zuck’s “Metaverse dream” continues its slow, painful death.
8. Twitter (X) files for bankruptcy.
Musk shrugs and starts another platform: “ElonChat.”
11. A reality show stages the first “wedding in space.”
The ratings are astronomical, and so is the cringe.
12. Hollywood strike leads to massive AI-generated films.
They’re terrible, but everyone watches them anyway.
18. Fusion energy breakthrough, but no one believes it.
“It’s just another cold fusion hoax,” people grumble… but is it?
22. Cryptocurrency finally gets regulated in the EU or U.S.
And Bitcoin’s value plummets overnight.
23. A mega-rich influencer starts their own “sovereign nation.”
Think Seasteading, but TikTok-themed.
24. A famous tech leader resigns after an AI goes rogue.
“We didn’t anticipate it learning sarcasm this well,” they claim.
That was snarky as shit and I loved it. Real TARS attitude.
Should have asked it to do an analysis of the last year major headlines and predict a future trend.
"I'm sorry I'm just a language learning model bla bla bla"
To be fair unless you can apply any kind if algorithm to it then it is just a language prediction
