Some languages, over others, will be found to be able to speak more capably with early gAI if and when it starts to come about.
Which languages?
*rolls dice
- *some human languages, I mean.
not fucking Python.Nairn - I'm betting on Basque.
Those wily mountain/ocean bastards,
playing the long-game.Nairn - Ancient Etruscans be like all fuck y'all, when's my turn again?Nairn
- My thesis is - earlier human languages will be better inter-mediums for communication with gAI. There, I said it. Strike me down as a hippy.Nairn
- Whats gAIdrgs
- Gynecological.Nairn
- small g.
ever so small g.
tiny, but intense.Nairn - er.. g-spot.
fuck.
tiny intense g-spot.
not tiny gynecologicals.
Oh jesus, wtf have i said?Nairn - We, the basques, always play the looong game, you know;)

who needs predictions.. https://www.weforum.org/great-re…
its all in motion already.
Vacination passports will morph into Global ID.. cash will be replaced with digital currency, global police state..
this whole massive An0m raid will be the catalyst.. "look at what we can do if you let go of privacy" argument.
sleepwalking into corporate fascism .
its going to be super lame.. lots of people will die
like lots.- a version of this is inevitable. but I dont believe governments (and humans in general) are anywhere smart enough to orchestrate a world wide conspiracy.inteliboy
- plus you have tech, energy and transport companies that can sell privacy and anonymity for profit. money, oddly enough, may keep Govs in check.inteliboy
- don't need any of those industries.. IMF, WEF, WHO.. Federal reserve..
all in syncautoflavour

The James Webb Telescope will come to a bad end, before it finds use.
- This, and successful Starship launches will encourage a new era of many more, simpler and cheaper satellites and space-based observatories.Nairn
- Is use a planet? How far is use? What galaxy in use in?GuyFawkes
- That'd be 'Use', and you know that we don't speak of Her, and Her subtle Influence over Earth and its inhabitants.Nairn
- why do you say that?utopian
- It's been a gut-feeling for a couple of years now. Seems a bit "all your eggs in one basket". Nothing more than that.Nairn

Some big ol' guesses to pass the time:
Testing will confirm that Covid-19 patients are no longer infectious in the decline phase... The virus is currently still detected for up to several weeks by tests but will be found to have been rendered inactive by antibodies. More accurate testing will be developed that will allow patients to be released from ICU/ isolation earlier.
Estimates on the timing and original location of the first transferal from animal to human are skewed because the virus had mutated back on itself in loops resembling earlier strains meaning it was spreading in Europe undetected in early December.
Viral testing will be required for all outbreaks of influenza-like illnesses in Schools, Hospitals, Care homes.
Serology testing will confirm antibody profiles which greatly increase the chance of serious illness/death (ie. if you've developed antibodies for certain viruses in the past you will be at far bigger risk of dying from lower respiratory issues/ cytokine storm when your immune system attempts to fight Covid-19)
This will develop in to serology tests being introduced for combinations of antibodies... combined with other tests for general immune maturity this will be the 3rd type of testing rolled out (after Covid-19 detection and Covid-19 antibody detection) to identify further at-risk patients who haven't yet had the disease. This will cause many people to isolate until a vaccine is available and we'll forget they exist except for occasional articles "How some are coping 1 year in to SARS-Cov2 isolation." ... They may be the only people to ever receive the vaccine.
Headlines like "a cold you had years ago may kill you yet" and further popularity of tests like the above will create a boom in 'immune fingerprinting' (i thought i just invented that term but its a thing) people will pay to send swabs to private testing companies to find out their infection risk and get an 'Ancestry DNA' style profile of diseases they have had (and may have not even realised) and sign up to alerts that notify them of their risk to new viruses. This may even end up as a credit-rating style service for immune defence.
Studies will show that mass chronic stress, lack of sleep and malnutrition caused by social distancing and isolation measures contributed to the ease of spread of the virus by lowering the immune response of the populous and in some individual cases made the difference between mild and severe symptoms.

1) I predict we will confirm a treatment in the coming days or weeks.
2) FDA approval procedures will be truncated or bypassed altogether.
3) Hospitals will begin administering treatment based on supply. 3.A) Meeting the immediate demand will be the next logistical hurdle
4) There will be federal, state, or city mandated orders that every US citizen will need to be tested and treated where necessary. There will be community-wide zones allocated for these tests to streamline the process.
5) As these steps are carried out, the gaps between will see tens of thousands of deaths well into late April or early May and then those figures will drop suddenly due to both treatment and the remainder of individuals succumbing to following best practices due to death of loved ones and friends.
The suggested idea of flattening of the curve will have been implemented but not to anyone's satisfaction - largely due to the country's lack of preparedness for novel pandemics, and citizens not heeding the advice to quarantine and practice social distancing and other measures.
6) Soap and disinfectant labels will begin to include language on efficacy against bacteria and viruses and sales will continue its trajectory for the next 5+ years.
7) Social standards will likely see some change. People will be encouraged to refrain from shaking hands or other common social gestures. Companies will update employee handbooks to include safe-guarding measures borrowing from these current best practices. Higher health standards will be established in schools, public places, and retail establishments. Public transportation messaging will caution travelers to follow best practices when traveling internationally. This type of messaging will begin to crop up everywhere.
8) For a while things will feel very different in the aftermath of all of this. People will gain a new sense of what life means to them. Their personal values will become more clear and they will make better use of the time they have on this earth, because finally, that idea of time has been given context.. but at a very great cost.
- the treatment / trial was confirmed yesterday was it not? (1-3)kingsteven
- soap is soap to a certain degree it's effectiveness is what it does on a molecular level rather than what it contains. diminished sales of fancy soap maybe?kingsteven
- Was it? I thought it was still in trial phase.
And yes you and I know that but your average consumer probably doesn't.SteveJobs - ahh sorry it was india that passed it for treatment, US still pinning its hopes on Gilead unfortunately.kingsteven
- ^ did a chris columbus... india? yeah sure, it'll do...kingsteven
- what about factoring in herd immunity?Krassy

A mass vaxxxinashun will end it all... in a few months
- 'til some missed statistical discrepancy unveils itself many months later when half the world's population promptly drops dead.Nairn
- It takes about 10 months to get it properly tested. That's why the US thinks it will need 18 months to fight this...grafician
- But if the current situation keeps going, in 18 months there will not be any more US to save.grafician
- Or Western world for that matter at this rate.grafician
- @grafician nah, dude! as tough as it promises to be, we'll go through this and rebuild.Krassy
