Re: 2050 predictions
-I think some kind of American secession crisis before this date is entirely possible. I can't really see how a civil war would work, though I confess I'm no expert on the subject. As an American, I think the likeliest cause would be a disputed election result. Imagine a replay of the 2020 election...

How worried should long-form creative writers be for their jobs in the near future?
A part of me can't believe I'm asking this question so early in life, haha. Anyway. I've seen how AI is advancing as of late, with (as far as I can see) no signs of slowing down. Generative AI can do quite a bit and is improving by the month. Let's say I write novels - as in full-length novels of (s...

Re: New predictions for the timeline
Is this worth including on our timeline? I mean, this won't be just any old game. It's likely to sell 100 million+ copies. 2025 – GTA 6 is released https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67588537 I'd say so. It will likely show off the latest & greatest for a variety of gaming tech. I'd say it's...

Re: Your 2024 Predictions thread
f*ck it... I'll predict Grand Theft Auto 6 will release before the end of the year. Plenty of people are predicting 2025, but I'm going to lock in 2024. It will - most likely - be the biggest launch in video game history to date. https://media.tenor.com/cJRcMyUAiMcAAAAd/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-...

Re: Your 2024 Predictions thread
I wish I had more to contribute to these. Most of my predictions are pretty safe/mundane/common anyway, or just focused on stuff I personally care about. I predict a Biden-Trump rematch in the 2024 election (seems unbelievable typing that, but that's what everything seems to point to right now). Bid...

Re: Aging & Longevity News and Discussions
Random thought/question I had:
At what point in time will the average lifespan (either globally or in at least one specific country) pass 100 years?

Re: Trump investigation and indictment news and discussion thread
Are they finally going to indict the man soon?
I'm seeing opinions that such a thing is imminent. I just feel like we've just been going around in circles for years.

Re: 2050 predictions
Already some very interesting responses here. I'm still not sure I buy into the whole singularity thing. That said, I can't see any future where AI is not widespread and transformative in some ways. Since this thread is about "Culture, Economics and Politics", I will focus my answer away f...

Re: Is a federation of nations or a world government possible?
Right now? Absolutely not. In the future? Definitely possible. I think it'll be a great question to seriously think about during the 22nd century. Humanity could be very different by that point. A constitution could be written and agreed to by all 200+ nations. I'd hope with the goals of peace, work...
