Imo nowadays most interesting stuff is solved, so in nearby future won't be some great innovation. But in 10-20 years ai maybe will be capable to translate text like human.

I think that people are ruining good stuff. They abuse openess and post shit on fb, youtube, twitter, etc. And it's all happening because a lot of ppl has internet. I mean bad ppl and retards post shit, for bigger reach. When not many ppl has inet there was no point of shit posting.

So I expect more websites will allow ppl to post after some barriers. Not the best days to surf internet.

Ignoring the offensive language used, it should be noted that at every point in humanity (without being able to see into the future) the argument that “interesting stuff has been solved” could’ve been made.

I think we are actually at a very interesting time in history. World changing things like robotics, AI, space exploration have made huge advances recently, and there are still many industries that haven’t even invested in/been disrupted by software.

"Everything that can be invented has been invented" -- goes back to an 1899 joke about closing the patent office and has apparently been oft repeated.
