Wu Weiren, Chief Designer of China's Moon Exploration Project, introduced that the International Lunar Scientific Research Station will be implemented step by step according to 2 phases:

The first step is the basic construction stage. Before 2035, with the lunar south pole as the core, a comprehensive scientific facility with basically complete functions and basic supporting elements will be built.

The second step is the expansion-type construction stage. Before 2045, with the lunar orbital station as the hub, it will have built equipment and facilities with perfect functions, considerable scale and stable operation.

Many investors thought Tesla's stock price would plummet after it released a poor earnings report, but the opposite was true. Tesla's surge has driven up the entire market, but you have to understand that Tesla is just speculation. The stock does not yet have a strong level of profitability to support the current stock price, and it will "fall" sooner or later.

After Meta released its financial report, its stock price plummeted, once falling below $400! What will happen to the market tomorrow? I expect tech stocks to experience another short-term correction, so how should investors respond? If you want to know more, please send me a private message on Reddit and I can give you professional advice.

I’ve heard a lot about infinite renewable energy sources, and how they could be a potential reality in the future. Infinite energy sources more powerful than fusion - the speculative and unlikely event we can harness ‘zero point energy’ or using antimatter to generate and harness energy, like you hear about potential antimatter engine. With zero point energy harnessing - if possible it’s even said that 1 cup of that energy would be able to boil all the worlds oceans.

Say we had that type of energy - we made a massive breakthrough allowing for huge amounts of energy to be generated and stored - and this could be repeated forever.

Granted the only thing that changed from here to then is our ability to create this unlimited energy, we did not create any new designs for other futuristic technology - What would be the state of our technology then? How would infinite energy change our tech? For example, would it become feasible to create an atomic assembler like from Star Trek - if we had this energy, without other massive massive breakthroughs? Do we already have the design, and theory for this type of device down to be able to actually build one if we have the massive energy requirements met - without massive engineering/physics breakthroughs otherwise?

What about real life realistic holodecks also like Star Trek ? Say in this hypothetical scenario we have all the energy in the world, massive amounts of it available, do we have a working design today that we could build if we only had massive amounts of energy available for such a device? Or would further breakthroughs be required?

What about a warp drive? Advanced quantum supercomputers? Centrifugal gravity in space?

What I am trying to ask, is if we suddenly had all the energy in the universe, is our engineering knowledge sufficient enough to be able to build something like a replicator or holodeck or warp engine?

Do we already have designs right now for a replicator/atomic assembler, that could only be built if we had the energy? Do we already have designs for a holodeck that could be built if we had the energy?

How big of a change would infinite energy be for the devlopment of our tech? Are we held back primarily because we lack massive amounts of energy for technological advancement?

Have we even begun to try to design such futuristic technology, at least on paper even when we don’t have the energy or physical capacity to execute such devices? If so, where can I find these designs/on paper prototypes for these devices? It would be interesting to see, so please link if you know of it. Did someone for example create a theoretical replicator design with an explanation to how it would work, on paper, or are we not even there yet?

Hey, Reddit fam!

Stumbled upon a fascinating article recently about a Silicon Valley team developing hyper-realistic 3D digital twins – basically avatars that look just like us with AI features! Their vision is to bridge the gap between gaming and real life by creating a whole ecosystem with mobile apps, a metaverse, and a social community. It gets even wilder – they plan to integrate it with fitness trackers, ID verification, fashion, and more!

This has me curious:

- What are your thoughts on the safety and privacy implications of such a connected, digital identity?
- Can our phones even handle running something this graphically intense? What about accessibility for those with older devices?
- Do you see a real need for this technology? Who would use it? (Personally, I'm super intrigued by the possibilities!)
- What kind of applications for this technology are you most excited about (or worried about) when it comes to AI integration?

Came across this video from 2021 by Upworthy Science and I'm curious how realistic these predictions are. Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY8xj5vOnGk

The real problem we have is not overpopulation but a lack of young people, it's not important to have a lot of people if many of them are retired, like in Japan and so on.

The number of people over the age of 70 in the USA is expected to double by the end of the current century, from 12% to a quarter (in other words, 1 in 4 Americans will be over the age of 70).

But in Europe the situation is expected to be worse, for example in Spain only 1 in 6 / 7 people will be under 20 compared to 1 in 4 today.

And imagine the differences between the city and the countryside, the number of rural villages where the youngest inhabitant is an elderly person.

The problem is: the lack of manpower, especially in jobs like construction that the elderly can't do and AI can't replace, at least for now, the difficulty of hiring workers and paying for pensions and other public services. The economy will be affected and there probably won't be as much prosperity.

The health problems that unfortunately still exist, the elderly who won't have anyone to help them because not everyone is 100% healthy.

Another thing that I fear will be seen a lot in the future is abandoned buildings, not only in villages but also in cities, buildings like schools and others that will be lost due to the lack of young people. At least for me it will be shocking to miss the young people and the atmosphere they bring.

As I said at the beginning, the problem is not the lack of people but the lack of young people, and I believe that there must be major changes in capitalism and society because otherwise we are heading for a collapse (according to some experts), I believe that there will only be changes in the future but even then nothing is known.

Electrically powered exoskeletons are advertised as "enhancing" the wearer's strength, but do they add to the wearer's strength or replace it entirely? That is to say, if I can lift 100lbs, and the suit can lift 200lbs, if I put it on, can I now lift 300lbs, or just 200lbs since that's what the exoskeleton is rated for?

In the near future, AI will be able to teach us new technologies and ways of doing things that far surpass what we're capable of right now. Both new and old WMD tech will become accessible to the masses. A perfect example would be a deadly, contagious virus with a relatively long incubation period. And we won't just be dealing with one of these things at a time. Even if we use AI to teach us a countermeasure to every WMD that is being used, people will still be dying at a rate higher than the birth rate, meaning the countermeasures will only act as a speedbump.

The only way to prevent this tech from causing a die-off of 99.9% of humans, as far as I can see, is to have a world government that keeps advanced AI in the hands of maybe one entity and closely surveilles the public for any signs that someone may know about tech they shouldn't know about. But of course, this won't happen, so we're basically screwed as far as I can tell.

We need some communities to go into isolation from now until it's all over. Waiting until the deaths start happening before going into isolation won't be enough, because at that point you could, for example, already be infected with a virus that is in its incubation period.

This isn't being taken seriously enough by people. I've posted this at various places on the internet and lots of people dismiss it out of hand because it's too horrific to acknowledge.

What are your thoughts on this?

Assuming it's a double-edged sword kind of deal where it gets rid of both microplastics and macroplastics.

.

The kind of tools on the level of Asana, Salesforce, or Zoom.

I’m curious if there are any cures or ways to reverse or prevent coming in the foreseeable future?
