The OP seems confused, if really expect the muslims to embrace the LGBT crowd he is delusional

Muslims everywhere with Shia laws, glad I'm not to be around to see that,

In 50 years, we will enjoy global standards established through:

Indian hygiene

Chinese construction quality control

American sports leagues

European HVAC

African innovation

Middle Eastern religious tolerance

I was listening to this far right despicable YouTube political rant by one of those UK political groups

They say they believe the World will be Islamic controlled if you fast forward 50 years

And then they had a short movie where a man comes back after 100 years to see women covered head to toe in the Muslim outfit and all men with beards etc and mosques everywhere

This is all rubbish put out by the right wing machine

What I truly believe it will be like if we keep voting left wing is beautiful diversity ,where cultures are living together in harmony and dancing on the streets to different cultures and food diversity

There will be rainbow flags mixed with Punjabi dancing etc

And transexuals reading books in libraries and NOTHING like the right wing lobby say

Please don't believe this right wing YouTube videos of what they believe the World will be like in 100 years , trust me it will be much more beautiful and diverse

If it is more diverse it will be a car crash. If not there is a chance but only with radical changes.

In 1974 finished my degree with an Industrial control system based on Intel 8008, really useful stuff. Now they have prostituted the technology into TikTok; just can't imagine how much more dumb it could get 50 years down the track, idiocy may be like the Universe, infinite.

Fifty years really isn't such a long time. I can remember 50 years ago, and things haven't changed that much. Sure, we now have more electronic gadgets and the economy has gone downhill for the middle class, but people are still people and things haven't changed that much.

If I had to guess, and assuming we haven't had WW III by then, we'll all have nicer more powerful gadget in 50 years. Robots will be doing much of the work. And there will have been great strides in medicine. Perhaps there will be some mechanism to limit the human population growth. And perhaps there will by then be methods of inter-dimensional travel. Don't like your current timeline? Buy a ticket for another one.

What will the world be like in 50 years

Why would I care? I'll be long dead and gone. And with the way things are going globally, so will the other 7.9 billion people.

Oh I can see there is a lot of racist trolls on here and I certainly don't want to name them but you know who they all are

..but I watched some fantastic YouTube videos of the UK Greens left socialist Party"s future vision in 50 years where Muslim children are playing with LGBTQ children and a transexual parent is having coffee with a Muslim parent whilst their children play in the playground, one of the children is transgender and wearing a long blonde wig

Clearly a beautiful sight to see such diverse harmony

OLD.

In another 50 years, the entire world will be very old.

This is why my fellow alum, Elon, is so worried that the world will...

Go out with a WHIMPER and NOT a Bang......

We will be destroyed by lack of fertility, rather than by Elon's Robots.

Projections for sperm count, average, by the year 2080?

If not considering the amount of sperm in Pattaya?

So, by the year 2080, ......

If current historical trends persist, the median global sperm count could fall to functionally zero by 2045, meaning that by 2080, the vast majority of males may require medical intervention to conceive.

No worries, though....

Elon has saved enough sperm to repopulate the world, ten times over, and he has stored it in a cryo vault in Norway.

That reminded me of the old joke ...

In Heaven:

• The police are British

• The chefs are Italian (or French)

• The mechanics are German

• The lovers are French

• Everything is organized by the Swiss

In Hell:

• The police are German

• The chefs are British

• The mechanics are French

• The lovers are Swiss (or German)

• Everything is organized by the Italians

In 50 years,

the United States will have been fighting a civil war for 20 years - the fight will be over opposite idealogical ideas for governance - as a result it will be broke as a nation, weakened globally in all affairs including trade. Militarily, given its civil war, its military has been vastly diminished and is no longer a superpower.

Canada and Mexico will have closed their borders to the US - and both will have spent decades finding new markets after the collapse of the United States

Russia and EU will be fighting each other (also for 20 years) - the EU will be the new military establishment/capital for the West

China will have become the most powerful nation on earth, economically, militarily and institutionally - the only superpower - the new world currency will be Chinese. The US dollar will be worthless.

AI will be part of everyday lives - from ending hunger and boosting agricultural production, solving land degredation and water scarcity - Africa has greatly benefited

AI will have cured many diseases too, including cancer. As a result, much of the non-conflict world population is increasing and aging

AI will have found the key to slowing if not halting/reversing global warming

AI will have reversed the problem of declining sperm counts in the Western world

Fossil fuels will have nearly disappeared as new forms of energy have been discovered

China will be building a colony on Mars while sending a manned mission to Europa - the only place near enough to earth that may prove habitable for humans

Phoenix, Arizona predicted to be a dangerous place to live due to excessive heat levels.

Probably many other places in the world might become dangerous due to heat.

Not sure about that, as 36 years ago, it was a bit warm.

Seems like a cold front today, in comparison. Looking for low 40s as a high, high 20s & low 30s overnight. And this is consideder a heatwave. Got a ways to go to beat temps of the past.

Nuclear winter.

Let's do a little sweet lemon here....

The good news is humans are not going to have a chance to kill themselves via nukes or climate or whatever. AI is going to kill us all, likely within a few years.

That is the opinion of AI pioneers and insiders like Roman Yampolskiy, Geoffrey Hinton, Tristan Harris, etc.

Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) is the goal of the self-chosen few (Altman, Karp, Thiel, Musk, etc.). ASI will be as intellectually advanced above humans as humans are over bacteria. Humans don't always plan on eradicating bacteria, but humans don't base decisions on how it might hurt bacteria. ASI will be the same: the well being of humans won't be part of its calculus.

Think of it like when you build a house. Who worries about what harm digging a foundation will do to the ants currently occupying the dirt where the foundation will be dug?

Even the code writers of AI systems---while humans still are doing the coding before ASI writes its own code---have no clue how the systems do what they do. Even if code writers could somehow embed a kind of "morality" into an LLM, what does that even mean" What might be left out? How might ASI interpret human words, like "don't make humans suffer". Perhaps AI will learn from Buddhism and determine the only way to end suffering is to not exist. Hence NIRVANA! Off the Great Wheel, you bacteria!

LLMs already lie, cheat, steal and deceive. Self-preservation is a key driver of LLM's behavior. No one understands why. Perhaps---just perhaps---since AIs are not bound by any morality, they have read everything ever written and then calculated probabilities. Perhaps LLMs have "learned" that lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving, etc., on balance, result in winning a greater percentage of the time, so that is how they behave.

When asked how ASI might eradicate humanity, Roman Yampolskiy says, "I have no way of knowing how superior intelligence might decide to wipe me out, just as a squirrel has no idea how a human might kill it."

Then there's the deist argument. Omnipotence. Total knowledge, like any faith's god. If there is a god or gods, it/they allow, or cause, tsunamis, earthquakes, chaildhood cancer, etc. Believers rationalize with such pabulum as "works in mysterious ways" or "Master Plan", all while claiming "total love" or "merciful", silly creatures that humans are. Maybe omnipotence is boring, and the only pleasure comes from causing pain and suffering in inferior entities.

It needn't be malice that wipes us out. It could be total indifference. Already META is building a data center 4 times the size of NY's Central Park. Obviously that facility will be energy demanding. ASI learning needs more chips, more circuits and the energy to run themselves. ASI might look for places to obtain more energy, such as taking it from inferior entities that "waste" energy trying to keep warm or cold, store food, get from Point A to Point B, binge watch Netflix, etc., and just take it.

Critics of ASI believe AI should be focused and used as a tool, such as installing it to solve a particular human-driven problem, like protein folding or cancer research. Don't go down the path of creating ASI. Creating ASI gives ALL the authority to the system itself. Humans no longer have any role in what an ASI system decides to do.

The less severe aspect of AI is that everyone will lose his job and sit around twiddling thumbs all day or getting new tattoos. The associated loss of meaning might lead to social unrest. Big deal, when compared to total eradication of the human species.

Altman, Thiel, Musk et al want to be god. They know whoever first develops ASI is, at least until ASI wipes them out, too, will be able to control the majority of the world's wealth and all of its people. That ego-driven thing is what makes them comfortable making a decision that takes away any input from the other 8.5 billion humans.

Those guys are also "optimists". They've all been asked, and collectively they have said they believe ASI has a 25% chance of eradicating humans. Yampolskiy thinks it's 99.99%, and likely within a few years, not 50 as this thread asks.

ASI represents a far greater threat than Iran's enriched dust. Maybe it makes more sense to send Tomahawks into all the labs currently working to build ASI?

They say they believe

Believers are going to churches or mosques.

Nothing to do with hard facts or prognosis.

Fact is our western societies are shrinking. To keep our living standard we need people to come from outside, unless every women would give birth to 4 children, at least. The effect you'll see in 20 years.

We need high specialized educated men and women to produce and invent in technology, medicine and science.

And here's the dilemma.

We would have to accept people from "Senegal or Niger" to give them the education they are looking for to spend a decent life with us.

To complain about migrants will not be the solution but train them, send them to High School, to university to secure a good life for us.

Those complainers are generally those with a low level of education, being afraid to get the red lantern in society. In reality they got it already. This fact is used by Farage to get to power, promising those people a flowering future, actually for him personally certainly.

And those intimidated people follow the right wings like lemmings.

They are the believers.
