It’s been ten years since 2015. Where the fuck is my hoverboard?
>>214671377being 40 and on a skateboard is kinda sad and pathetic. let it go
would you have sex with your grandma?
>>214671377the real future is all of the suck and none of the cool of the 80s future
>>214671377I wanted an hoverboard, i had to settle, i got a fleshlight instead.
>>214671377I hated in 2015 when all of the normalfags and 90s born queers pretended they were really in to this.
>>214671699Several grandmas, but not my own
i mean you can have functionally the exact same thing right now, just there are wheels. it's not like a jetpack, more like a cordless phone instead of a corded phone.
>>214671377It's a movie version of the future. It has to look that way. Hi tech shit with no explanation as to how it works because alot of people aren't thinking about that anyways.No hoverboards,no instant pizza hydrator,no terminators,hunter killer treaded machines.
TOP 1 THING BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II GOT RIGHT:1. tacky 80s nostalgia, not done very well.
>>214671377It's sad how little our technology has evolved >inb4 saar what about ai saar
>>214671855>hydrator,no terminators,hunter killer treaded machines.They managed to come up with scarier killer robots
>>2146713771. first we solve the nigger/gypsy behavior problem in Europe, America, Australia etc.2. then we confiscate all metal objects from India and Africa, so they don't hurt themselves or others3. then we can start thinking about prosperity and innovation like it's before the 1960s
>>214671855trying to do an 'accurate' prediction of the future is a pretty impossible task. almost anything you come up with will be dated in years.the cartoony, slightly-retrofuture ideas are a safe way to play it. although it seems like the further away we get from it, the more zoomers (or the next generation) think it was some earnest "lol THAT'S what they thought the future would be like?!" vision.
>>214671880said i been to the year 3000not much has changed but they lived under waterand your great great great granddaughter, is doing fineDOIN FOINE
>>214671946If you really look into it, pretty much all depictions of the ‘future’ in moves and tv are just exaggerated versions of the present day it was made in
>>214671946>safe way to play itomg it's not full of trash/shit on the streets? you poor poor negro/jeet/roastie, sorry if that picture traumatized you
Remember when everyone was on those retarded two wheel spinny things for a few years? Whatever happened there?
ACTUAL FUTURISTIC TRANSPORT I WANT:Shweeb. remember when Google bought this, and people speculated it would be some genuine, constructed-city form of people-mover, like a monorail? combines exercise and rail transportation (low friction so you could let people push you OR all work together).now it's a fucking ride. it got both General Motors'd and Epcot'd.
>>214671989i don't see the point in domed cities. not sure what the idea ever was, there.but the only thing that will solve litter/shit is shame. superior Japanese culture manages it. no need for robots or self-cleaning streets.
>>214671377>It’s been ten years since 2015. Where the fuck is my hoverboard?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSheVhmcYLA
>>214672051>superior Japanese culture manages it.they had at least a few hundreds of years and no communismhunter-killer robots that zap people who litter are too unpredictable>i don't see the point in domed cities. not sure what the idea ever was, there.you are stupid, that's whygo back to the kitchen, don't touch computers anymore
>>214671377>the cubs almost won the world series in 2015 and fucked it up and won it the next yearThis will never stop annoying me
>>214672065I remember seeing that and thinking it was gonna go somewhere. Same with those liquid trees, smart glass, slime fridges, the edible water bottle, etc. 2010s futurism was weird.
>>214671880It’s just completely normalized. We’re in a sci-fi dystopia but the aesthetic is gay
>>214672051domed cities have always been a "we fucked up the enviroment beyond repair" or there's something thats a threat out there. never a positive thing
>>214671377Never mind the hoverboard. Where are my fucking self lacing shoes?
>>214672193Our phones are basically cybernetic sensory organs that fill our brains with easy access chemicals
>>214672155Feels like we legitimately just gave up
>>214672233Those exist just duckduckgo them retard.
>>214672193>We’re in a sci-fi dystopia but the aesthetic is gayYeah some edgy-gritty thing mixed with happy a.i. (like either Blade Runner movie) would have been okay. But buildings and devices designed by diversity graduates and executed by cheap chinese or indian labor just makes everything look awful and gay.
>>214672100>you are stupid, that's whyfuck off, i'm just on painkillers.>>214672211fair point. i mean i understand it for paintings/designs of cities on other planets. but i really can't see any other purpose on Earth if we haven't poisoned the atmosphere or something, you're right. not so utopian after all ;_;
There’s a lot of shit that got invented last tech bubble in the 00s that just never materialized in any meaningful way.
>>214672279>Feels like we legitimately just gave uppretty common theme. yes smartphones and AI are great, and i'm sure there have been advances in medicine and engineering i don't know about.but we haven't been back to the Moon in 50 years? we can't even build a fucking rail network here in the UK, something we have already done previously?
>>214672384stop noticing things antisemite chud
Why didn't they have any trans people in 2015?
>>214671377Do you really want niggers using hoverboards and flying cars?
>>214672445No social media
>>214672279>>214672384Blame the failure of Google glass. It looked strange and people mocked it, thus scaring people from trying to make sci fi sounding technologies. We gave up solid eye to get NFTs and aislop. Enjoy.
>>214672481It failed because it was burning peoples faces and the battery tech was not there yet. You would have to do with what they did with those failed apple visors and wear a battery pack in your back pocket at all times
>>214671377In Spain.
>>214672445They did
>>214671377Alternate reality. We stopped focusing on the physics tech tree and pursued computing.
>>214671377>Where the fuck is my hoverboard?Probably waiting for you at your local Costco?I bought two for my nephews the last year
>>214672481It shouldn’t have been marketed as a complete technology, but as a proof of concept prototype that would need years/decades of refinement to be the width of a conventional lens. But end stage capitalism can’t invest in anything that won’t see a return for years.
>>214672753Why the fuck would you want an eye overlay that would be directing you into every shop in your field of vision advertising sales and specials?
>>214672753>end stage capitalismWe got a communist in the thread
>>214672445In the real 2015 Biff’s grandson is a furry named Yiff
>>214672737I got one for my cousin, and it was so fun, I got myself one too lol. got a few bruises tho
>>214672753>end stage capitalism>oh no I can't have my eye toy that will tell me that toilet paper is on sale at the CVS in front of me and the mcdonalds down the block has a deal on Big MacsCommunists are bitching about this
>>214672481Glass sucked. Surveillance tech is shit. We need bottom up tech advancement, not corpo slave shit.
>>214672481Glass failed because we live in a low-trust society
>>214672481Akshually, by the time MGS4 takes place, AI slop was already developed to the fullest extent. Solid eye comes later as tech. According to MGS tech tree>AI>Bipedal locomotion on robots>Invisible cloak tech>Solid eye and Octocamo
>>214672753>>214672873Whether or not it’s an issue inherent to capitalism, I don’t know. Whatever this system is, it’s a fucking painfully boring dystopian mess. It’s not even boring in a non threatening good way. Who the fuck wants this shit? Even if you’re big on technology, you have to admit there are much better ways of delivering popcorn than some shitty robot made by Elon that’s gonna be scrapyard junk in a couple years. Shit like this is bloated garbage that exists purely to pander to out of touch boomers who think adding transitions to slides is “high tech.”
>>214671377https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HSheVhmcYLA
>>214673172nta, but modern tech is too complicated and prove to make errors, its creators would rather showcase them in "safe" environments. A robot delivering popcorn to a guy, is a safe way to showcase your robot. Humanoid robots is cool tech, but its still not ready yet to be cool enough
>>214672481AI “art” is amazing because it humbled the massive egos of artists on social media. Seeing them so pissed off makes me happy.
>>214672481Google have made good technology (obviously) but i'm too paranoid/privacy-minded for that shit.ubiquitous cameras are already too much for my liking. imagine just taking out your dedicated digital camera and filming everything, the way zoomers do with phones. the inevitable culture of Glassfags 'entitled' to Augmented Reality would be so much worse.
These threads always devolve into blaming minorities or capitalism and not the laws of physics
>>214673450i don't like schadenfreude but they absolutely needed knocking down a peg. the whole point of technology is to replace jobs, really.even your 'revolution now, comrades!' types made this special exception for artisans. the way they wouldn't for, say, ice deliverymen ("we have refrigerators now, it's 1965 bro.")don't give a shit if they're remixing existing art, copyright has been nonsense for over a century. Ctrl+C/Ctrl-V for free, leave the credits in. thought that's what artists/authors cared about...?
>>214671377Fuck your hoverboard. Where's the ultra hi-tech fingerboxes?!
>>214673669there's that weird pop myth about how bees should not 'be able to fly' (obviously they can, because they just do).we have full-on flying machines. you're telling me we can't hover a 160-pound human a few inches off the ground?
>>214671377Daily Reminder: In Ronald Regan America, a future like this was very possible but the Jews took this from us and spent trillions of dollars the past 30 years on endless wars
>>214673686nta but artists, just like most grifters, only care about money. A shoutout from someone who takes their art to make money, is not good enough. This is why they are malding. To be fair, the ones who mald are bottom tier artists who cant keep up with the competition. Actual artists do fine and actually use AI to their benefit
>>214673779For people who only care about money, they sure complain about capitalism and greed a lot. Checks out
>>214673717>that weird pop myth about how bees should not 'be able to fly'it was how the fact they were flying not being compatible with our understanding of aerodynamics/flight. it was found they can fly because they flap their wings in a figure eight pattern to cut through the air on the upswing and hit as much air as possible on the downbeat.
>>214673805I mean commie artists(and social media commies in general) are hypocrites, but work is work, and nobody wants their bread taken away. As I said, only bottom tier artists cried about this online, because their mid (coomer) art is their only source of income. AI pretty much showed to the world which artist is skillful and who is not
>>214671377where is my Food Hydrator?!
>>214671377hey there's no hoverboard but at least you can cut your cock off at the doctor's
>>214674100Anything made for that thing would probably be insanely ultra processed
>>214674146It can work with Chicken! Chicken's healthy and good!
>>214674100This is just a smaller frozen pizza. What's the big deal?
>>214674146>insanely ultra processedthat's a communist buzzword so they can take your attention from health communication (part of education a domain they controlled up until recently) while they stole money and covered for their poisoning colleaguesjust the same with ecology: they are the big protectors of nature, which means you shouldn't worry while they chop down all the forests and poison all the water and air (see Greta who didn't squeak about China or India who account for 80% of pollution but shouted like an animal on European countries which by her own standards are nearly carbon neutral)today we draw the line and there will be no more communists beyond it
>>214673779i mean when they're more transparent about "this is my job, i want to get paid" that's fair enough. but it means the jig is long up that it's some protected category or magical special job different to 'normal' jobs.and as an internet guy i think it's perfectly fine and wonderful people can post their art online and people enjoy it, credit them, remix stuff. you shouldn't even need permission. "fuck you, pay me!" is music industry nonsense: you don't even have to pay for web hosting now. we should be a indie/DIY artist golden age, if you actually care about the art itself...?
>>214674141dick chopping tech is a dangerous technology. it can cause your species extinction, much like sapient AI
>>214674322'ultra-processed' has a more technical definition than 'processed' (yes all food is processed). no real conspiracy theories or balancing 'preservatives CAN be good', 'some chemical-sounding additives TASTE nice', etc. it's just by-and-large bad food. and not in a sausage kind of way.the spooky science shit i DO want is lab grown meat. chicken breast/basic steak, that's enough for me.
>>214674515>'ultra-processed' has a more technical definition>doesn't give a technical definition but goes on about communist fantasiesyou are smart, maybe one day you'll manage to find a way to get over leftism (no matter if communist or nationalist)
>>214674322So I can eat twinkies then?
>>214674758you can look it up yourself, apparently you already know anyway.talking purely about the physical food in front of you. nothing to do with politics or economics at that point. (although i will take a slight quality/accuracy hit on the lab meat.)
>>214674795>nothing to do with politics or economics at that pointsure it doesI'd pay extra to have a QR code on every package of food (especially milk, meat etc.), that would lead me to a page showing a photo and short bio of every person that touched it, all the way from the animal to the shelf of the supermarketbut demanding people take responsibility for their decisions are probably the next biggest taboo in the current political climate, right after having a long memory
>>214674785depends on the circumstancesif you are a soldier, dead tired, and still need to crawl 20 minutes back to safety, maybe twinkies are the best thing you could eat, bar none
>>214671855Still have fax machines.
>>214671377Sorry, we decided to babysit Africa instead
>>214672211Mostly true, especially in later years, but early dome city designs were about climate control so you'd never be too hot or too warm, with there never being any snow or rain. It came from the minds of people who thought the future of humanity was living in a shopping mall. But that fits in well with "we fucked up the planet" too, so it found a home in dystopian settings.
>>214672233You get 90% of what you want with velcro straps.
>>214675803
>>214672481I went to one of Google's events where you could try out Glass. It sucked donkey dicks. Even in the controlled environment of the event center, the lighting had to be perfect for you to be able to see the text. The talk feature had trouble with background noise. The only good thing about that event was that Google still hired cute, petite girls to work the demo floor.
>>214675742>100 million starving africans>no aid, in 10 years: 100 million starving africans>aid, in 10 years: 1 billion starving africansmaybe we should think of it as sustainable oil
>>214671845
>>214673740You mean the president who granted amnesty to illegals and brought no-fault divorce to the United States? Both of those policies have been incredible destructive to our modern society.
>>214672384>but we haven't been back to the Moon in 50 years?I'm pretty sure we could easily get back if we wanted to, there's just nothing actually on the moon that matters enough to bother. >b-but they can't make the parts anymo-It's not because they don't know how, it's because the infrastructure to do so isn't in place. They could put them back in place if they wanted but again, there's no reason to. There's nothing ON the moon.
>>214675988It sounds good to retards that need a constant stream of things to seethe about. Humans are constantly putting more probes on the moon. It's happened just this year. There's literally no reason to put a human up there when it's exponentially more difficult for no gain and lots to lose. Robots work just fine and you can lose dozens of them with not really a big deal.
>>214673779>nta but artists, just like most grifters, only care about moneyI know this may shock you, anon, but people need money to live.
>>214675977and closed the asylums and stopped getting the kajillionaires to pay into society
>>214675977>and brought no-fault divorce to the United States?Retards on here whine about the weirdest stuff
>>214671845by your logic, we have jetpacks anon, only that they are slightly bigger and have a whirlygig on the top
>>214675977>You mean the president who granted amnesty to illegalstechnically that was JFK's plan before he got into that car accident, we are lucky it got delayed 20 years
>>214672668>physics tech tree and pursued computing.Couldn't be more right.t. Physics Graduate who ended up doing SWE
>>214676276dont worry anon we are a long way off, nobody wants niggas with lightsabers
>>214674930>>sure it doesemphasis on 'at that point' anon, i don't mean farm-to-fork i just mean on your fork. with UPFs the actual FOOD is different.of course there's policies that led to that, i just think that's going to be tedious flame war shit. just saying it's not like 'organic' or 'fairtrade', even if you have some moral tummyfeels about all that. as a trade standard, it's more like having sawdust in your flour.
>>214676848>tedious flame war shitcan't tell if you are an actual boomer or a genx but either way you dropped the ball and should probably retire from using the internet, curl up in a ball, and starve to death
>>214677015i'm in my mid-30s. i just don't accept change.
>>214674100I never understood this prediction for the future. Food has been a unifying cultural element around the world for millennia. A small minority of people might want to swap proper home cooked food for a 30 second alternative but the rest of us actually enjoy cooking and sitting down to eat a meal that someone with talent has made
>>214677213fast food/ready meals have been around for a while. i mean they're rehydrating pizza, the delivery junk food kind.i enjoy cooking but it does took time and, to be honest, ingredients i often don't need or throw away (i live alone ;_;)can't blame people who want food in pill form. even as a challenge, people online DO min-max how to get 100% of your dietary requirements through a daily sludge:https://www.completefoods.co/
>>214677325Yeah I guess in the 80s and 90s it looked like people were turning toward fast food, but I think recently the trend has gone back again
>>214676229we do have jetpacks though?
>>214671377Hoverboards aren't going to be like they are in the movie.There is no practical use for a hoverboard in any form and anyone who would make something similar will just make one for a YouTube video and get clicks through nostalgia bait.
>>214671377I dont need a hoverboard , self lacing shoes or that mini pizza that turns into a big pizza in like 3 seconds. I just want some sort of sexy robot waifu that I can spent the rest of my days with
>>214671728>I compromised.
>>214671377That was in the timeline where hundreds of billions in aid was not being sent to israel anon, we cant have all those in this timeline
>>214676229I don't know what a whirlygig is, but I think we've had Jetpacks since the 1960s (citation: 007: Thunderball) but I doubt they work for more than a few minutes, or even a full minute. Only good for making pre-planned entrances and exits a little more convenient.
>>214671728Fucking ESLs can't even get the quote right
>>214672233>a guture where niggers have turned so retarded they can't be trusted to tie their own shoelaces and advanced synthetic contractiles had to be developed for them to properly wear their air jordansPlausible.
>>214671871Back to the Future takes place in OCTOBER 26, 1985 and the sequel in OCTOBER 21, 2015, and we never see any Halloween shit in these movies.
>>214672384>but we haven't been back to the Moon in 50 years?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpuKu3F0BvY
>>214672610>It failed because it was burning peoples facesDo you get paid to make this shit up?
>>214673172>That picI've been hearing this shit for the last 15 years, there's more self serving kiosks but something tells me the amount of McWagies hasn't gone down in any meaningful way
>>214671985It's also extrapolations of current technological advancement. The 2001 A Space Odyssey stuff might seem quaint now, but Aerospace technology in the 1940s-60s was the Computer Science of the 90s-2010s. People were just extrapolating the advances in rocketry as going on forever. Then in the 1970s the analogue world for the most part entirely flatlined. No shit, analogue technology has barely advanced since the 1970s. The last big aerospace achievement was probably supersonic travel jets and the Space Station, the former which we got rid of.I think there's a massive chance AI goes nowhere and flatlines, and people are going to find movies like Ex-Machina as being quaint and ridiculous.
>>214672016It looks absolutely retarded. How would that even work in a mass transit system?>>214673061This is the real problem and everyone knows it. All of this high-tech stuff cannot survive in diverse multicultural environments because the creatures would murder you for it or destroy it out of spite.
>>214678328that's actually a good point. i am NOT American (and i have made peace with that) but there's a shopping mall, bunch of shop windows, etc. wouldn't be super obvious over there? like Christmas.
>>214678760Do Europeans celebrate Halloween? I know Christmas is in Europe, Russia and Japan.
>>214678653>It looks absolutely retarded. How would that even work in a mass transit system?basically similar to a monorail network, travelling in one direction, but with the ability to switch tracks in-cart. i'm sure you could simplify that with Google Maps so people don't have to memorize the whole thing.i feel like realistically the biggest hurdle would be congestion at stations. people taking forever to alight/aloft. not really an issue with, say, bikes. they were really insistent just staying put on the track WOULDN'T cause a jam, because of the frictionless design.i can understand switching/pulling into a station, maybe even set them up as a loop or something. but what if there are 50 cars on a busy day? fuck knows how that could ever work.
>>214678871The average big city subway during rush hour has hundreds of passengers getting on and off at every stop. I swear the people who design ridiculous shit like this have absolutely zero real-world experience.It's the same as all the talk of self-driving car sharing and walkable cities from just five years ago.
>>214678999the goal was for some ideal, completely planned city. but even then, fuck knows.i'm in the UK and we DID pull off post-war new towns: slum clearances, family homes built to last, walkable/driveable with green space, separate industrial areas by design. naturally, they've all been fucked over by now, but they were fully-realised projects/improvements for a while. i'd LIKE to see some purely car-free town with an alternative form of transport, even if it only ends up being a proof-of-concept gimmick. wouldn't trust Google with it, though.
>>214671377Some guy shaking like he had parkinsons or something stole the prototype and the city hall explosion destroyed the sever backups.
>>214671855Well we did get the killer robots. All of the horrible parts of killer robots, none of the cool parts.
>>214677189>just don't accept change.so as I said, a boomer or genx grifter who only complains and virtue signals
>>214672667lmao
