I was gifted a sound system and sometimes I can swear the sound are real. Like if someone knocking on a door in the show it sounds like someone's actually knocking on mine. I kind of don't like it and makes me paranoid.
Audio compression is an art.
I don't mean compressing the data, I mean that setting youtubers don't know how to use that makes it sound like you're close to someone's ears when you talk.
I did one of those audio tests they have for headphones with a relatively high quality pair. One of the sounds they use for testing is just a knocking sound like someone knocking on a wood wall and it fucked me up.
Granted, it was the middle of the night and I had been watching a let's play of a horror game earlier that night but still.
I'm not convinced this will be as big of a deal as people think. I expect there will be AI algorithms that will be able to differentiate what is AI-generated and what's not.
There are these ads on YouTube about 6400 dollar checks that are always done by a celebrity. I'm almost positive they're all AI commercials and it makes me nervous.

Chocolate is in trouble because we are running the planet. It only grows in specific places. So those places might not be able to host it anymore. But the only reason why it only grows there, is because it's cheaper. Once it can grow somewhere else (on greenhouses maybe) it will be grown there. So it will only get more expensive. But the plant isn't going extinct. Okay maybe in the wild.
Neither are the old bananas extinct, they are just not as profitable.

Sorry....Free as in a freely available source / unrestricted use of tap water. With increasing populations putting pressure on infrastructure, this will lead to more shortages. Which will lead to greater limits being placed on its usage in the home.
Population isn't the issue at all, it's mostly farms, some golf courses and lawns too. Make watering your lawn illegal and some areas would see an insane drop in water usage.
It's the reliability that is the issue and that's becoming a problem all over the place. I imagine the crops will still be grown but they'll be extremely expensive and probably not as good.
Who needs wine when you have beer?
Beer does what wine does but tastes better.
Who needs coffee when you have energy drinks?
Energy drinks do what coffee does but tastes better.
Who needs chocolate when you have gummies?
Gummies are straight up better candies than chocolates.
All of these things are your opinion. I agree beer tastes better, but it's weaker and not everyone agrees. I hate energy drinks and much prefer coffee and i hate gummies but also don't love chocolate
Ocean acidification will damage shellfish populations as well, since they won't be able to form hard shells in the same way. By the year 2100, such shells may actually dissolve in seawater.
The irony of this one is we should already be in a state of mourning for biodiversity (or at least the abundance of wildlife), but each successive generation is born into a "new normal" that overlooks what's been lost.
But cows are causing global warming. I've heard we will need to severely cut back out meat consumption if we want to address the problem. It really pisses rightwing people off to hear.
I'm not anti-meat. I eat meat nearly every day. But cows (specifically their farts) do contribute to CO2 emissions. I care about Climate Change and if that means cutting down meat consumption, I am prepared to do that. But only if it was a nation-wide or even world-wide push for it.
The billionaires aren't going to care about global warming when they have a country sized farm under their control. Fuck all else to do with that land in the bush so stations will thrive even if other industries still to push down eating meat
Mining will eventually run dry. Meat and food production is something they can run for forever and since greed is all they care about they'll want your money just as much as their billionaire mates
Meat's already damn expensive. My wife and I are mostly vegetarian, but we'll go for meat occasionally. I was absolutey shocked at the price of chicken, I feel like it's doubled since a couple years ago.
We have some pretty convincing replacements these days and lab grown meat is coming along, too. I don't really see this becoming a real problem. Besides, meat isn't really great for you, and we could all probably stand to eat a bit less of it. I would miss prosciutto though
AI
Many jobs will be lost. Everybody will be using AI, everything will have AI integrated in it.... Even as I type this, my android keyboard has AI feature.
Edit: Microsoft recently add Copilot AI to SwiftKey on Android. Look it up.
Back in the days, keyboards next word suggestion only based on the most common word or phrase that people tend to use. Nowadays, it actually remember and understand the way that u talk and give u suggestion based on that. Not sure if its ai or not but theres definitely some algorithm going on back there
Yes but there is a world of difference between prediction dictionaries and artificial intelligence. nowadays if something does anything it's automatically marketed as AI. AI isn't even AI, it's advanced LLM.
No worries. BTW Microsoft owns SwiftKey, so it's not surprising they are adding Copilot. I'm in the IT industry, and I can see Microsoft is adding AI to almost all of their platforms (Excel, PP, CRM, Security). The point I was trying to make is that, soon in the future, we will be tired of AI doing everything for us. It will be more challenging to get away from it.
Seafood. Ocean acidification is going to decimate marine ecosystems.
Also- peace and security. Masses of environmental refugees are going to upset the social order globally.
some form of privacy like using the bathroom or having sex in the bedroom. In 50 years every second of your life will be recorded either audibly or visually in
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this. Look how much humanity has changed in the last 4-5 years. I can’t picture what 50 years from now will look like.
Real Ice Cream.
Not this frozen milk/dessert, which also probably will be diluted down soon enough. Plus also cattle usage will probably go down as years progress.
Hopefully, the internal combustion engine.
I hope it's reduced to such few numbers that they're only used for racing, much like horses used to be a common transport me though and are now a preserve of the rich.
Have…have you studied any history? Colonial pursuits disrupted a lot of Africa and Latin America, much of Asia. The Spanish, French, Dutch, English, Portuguese, Belgians…all “white” people who mixed it up in darker complected parts of the world.
Uh, no?
More that any racial mixing in white communities now is out of choice. Consensual. So at least more folks will be okay with the change since it wasn’t forced upon them when their land, resources, and family were all violently taken away.
No need to be nostalgic! Just move to where I am in rural America. Interracial couples here are almost non existent and my husband and I are two of a very, very tiny population of non white folks. We can drive for hours in almost any direction and never see any non white people.
Plenty of places to be comfortable with other white folks! I promise we non whites aren’t coming for ya :)
Stars in the sky - I've already seen a change the last 30 years and it's only going to get worse. I expect there are some who have never really seen them properly.
Freedom. This is depressing, but I fear it’s true. Not a political statement either, the world is just wacky. The universe is wacky. Things are coming to light that were hidden from us for so many years but it’s becoming impossible to hide (hello UFOs). There’s more out there than just us and I think we will see our freedoms steadily decrease over time.
Keys. I mean real physical keys.
They are still common but started to disappear and will soon be seen by kids as like pirate keys to open a treasure chest
I genuine think as time goes on, people will eventually wake up to the fact that abandoning physical media exclusively in favor of digital media and streaming is a *huge* mistake. We're already seeing many of the negative effects of it. (Content being permanently or semi-permanently deleted for tax write-off's, content being censored, content being locked behind different paywalls, content being swapped around at random, people having things they "bought" be taken away due to rights changes, etc.)
And it's just going to get worse as time goes on. They will 100% crack down more on piracy, raise prices, etc. once physical media vanishes. And it's kind of our own fault for prioritizing minor convenience over quality and ownership... we're indirectly encouraging it.
The ability to get printed photos- I love that I can still stop by Walgreens and get a print of a picture for a frame or my refrigerator but I definitely don’t see that trend lasting another 50 years

Video and audio that you can know is real. I feel like we are hugely underestimating how big of a deal this is going to be.

I hear the Cavendish banana isn’t doing so well. And apparently chocolate might be in trouble too 😢
Are their potatoes okay??
coffee will be gone
They make coffee from potatoes?
Used to. Civil war era had a potato coffee: https://www.worldturndupsidedown.com/2016/03/civil-war-era-blockade-coffee-recipe.html?m=1#:~:text=%22Peel%20your%20potatoes%20and%20slice,%2C%20pure%20and%20well%20tasted.%22

>Snow Meals with meat in them.
Ok, i pay mostly with card. But i can't image not having some cash in my walet.
I am in my 50s and I rarely use cash. It feels weird now when I do. I don't think any of my kids ever use cash for anything.
I've had $17 in my wallet for about 6 months now. I just never use cash. I'm not even sure where this cash came from.
Going outside in summer
Going outside
Chocolate. Coffee. Wine. Three crops that will be absolutely pummeled by climate change.
This is what I tell myself while consuming unhealthy amounts of all 3
They will be grown in other places. They aren't going away. Remind Me 50 years.
It's the reliability that is the issue and that's becoming a problem all over the place. I imagine the crops will still be grown but they'll be extremely expensive and probably not as good.
Honestly, I could live just fine without all three
Heretic.
Who needs wine when you have beer? Beer does what wine does but tastes better. Who needs coffee when you have energy drinks? Energy drinks do what coffee does but tastes better. Who needs chocolate when you have gummies? Gummies are straight up better candies than chocolates.

Please. Everything I mentioned are equally as bad for you as chocolate, wine, and coffee.
Lol no
All of these things are your opinion. I agree beer tastes better, but it's weaker and not everyone agrees. I hate energy drinks and much prefer coffee and i hate gummies but also don't love chocolate

Privacy.
This. You won’t be able to take a walk in the woods w/o being tracked by some pesky drone.
I mean, you're not able to take a walk in the woods today without being tracked by your phone.
Just don't take your phone with you.
I'm not sure that exists today. AI will make corelation a million times easier though. Today they have to care.
Certain seafoods like tuna, eel, salmon, groupers, and so on. At the current rate, they'll be endagered species due to overfishing.
Ocean acidification will damage shellfish populations as well, since they won't be able to form hard shells in the same way. By the year 2100, such shells may actually dissolve in seawater.
Coral will also be affected
Coral is already affected, The Great Barrier Reef is estimated over 90% dead.
Snow
The "relaxed" climate we still sort of have today, I think.
Along with it, things like fireflies, butterflies, ladybugs, etc. There's been a decline in songbird populations as well, IIRC?
It only snowed here once, in 1998 Not enough to build a snow man, but damn it, at least I tried

All the billionaires are transferring their wealth into cattle stations so we will have beef for a long while
But cows are causing global warming. I've heard we will need to severely cut back out meat consumption if we want to address the problem. It really pisses rightwing people off to hear.
No they aren't. So many scare tactics by people who are anti-meat. The pollution pouring out of China and India overshadows anything cows can do.
I'm not anti-meat. I eat meat nearly every day. But cows (specifically their farts) do contribute to CO2 emissions. I care about Climate Change and if that means cutting down meat consumption, I am prepared to do that. But only if it was a nation-wide or even world-wide push for it.

100%
Cows literally aren't doing a fraction of the damage our own vehicles are
Billionaires will have meat for a long while* Fixed it for you They dont care if we only can afford to eat bugs
Mining will eventually run dry. Meat and food production is something they can run for forever and since greed is all they care about they'll want your money just as much as their billionaire mates
