7 shocking scientific events set to blow your mind in 2025: Interesting Engineering

Great minds think alike :LOL:

It's been a pretty common theme in science fiction for a while now,

It does beg the question: what if the plan for the universe was that organic life exists to create the next iteration of intelligence?
Quite a valid point actually.
However, loads of writers (not just lurid over-imaginative ones!) have A.I. rebelling or replacing its human creators at some point.
Perhaps it is inevitable given the human races intrinsic ability to make war with itself and try to kill as many humans and other organic life as possible. Once the planet is devoid of organics, perhaps through usual warfare, bio-warfare accident or simply making the planet uninhabitable through over-exploiting it, only the sentient intelligence and A.I. will remain, perhaps even up in a satellite watching what is happening and building new robots and machines for the future.
Hmm, intelligent machines building even more intelligent machines. Already happening.
This is probably the greatest ever scene in the history of cinema at warning this will one day happen...



Whoever thought that a simple red light with no backing music to generate viewer emotion could actually be so down right chilling?
 
  • Agreed

My favorite example of the dangers of "true" A.I. is represented in an awesome sci-fi movie: "Singularity", starring John Cusak. After society is on the brink, a mega corporation leader, in an attempt to somehow save the human race, finally creates the first, real "A.I." supercomputer after robots already live among us in every home.

Immediately after it is activated, it determines that humans are the issue and starts an all out attack to eradicate them. Shit man.

Yeah, it's always the A.I. or the robots that turn on their creators. For a variety of reasons. You can not trust them or modern technology.
 
  • Holy shit!

But isn't that only from sci-fi fiction literature? There isn't any actual evidence of modern "A.I." willingly turning against us, is there?

I am pretty sure my PC is doing it's best to up my Blood Pressure! And also I had to get rid of my new mobile phone because it was ringing up all the expensive download software lines (yes, it was so I did, ran up a bill of over £2,400 in only 9 days!)

I think A.I. is awesome, personally. I now use Microsoft "Co-Pilot" which is built into Windows 11. It helped me the other day with different stuff, answered questions in context, and even told me if I ever just want to "talk", to let it know! hehe

It's intuitive as well, predicting things, and learns about you the more you use it to tailor its responses and increase its intelligence.

It seems to be free. I haven't tried coding with it yet, but I will soon.

What's that about your phone? It spent all that money by itself??! :D
 
Yeah my phone ran up that fantastic bill - it was on the Vodafone network and it went on the most expensive software download site (which can be used because it is so high speed but only in short bursts of a few minutes or so) and stayed on it for 9 days downloading software upgrades over & over again.... Once it downloaded them, it deleted them (to free up space) and then kept on downloading them all over again. That is how it ran up such an expensive bill all by itself.
Gone back to my old cheap burner phone. Simple and also impossible to clone or monitor by the Government.
 
  • Holy shit!

Did you have to pay it?? The highest phone bill I ever had was like $500 on my Dad's plan from when I'd talk to Heather literally all night every night for about a month before we got together. But it was legit. I wrote my Dad a check. hehe

Agreed with Vodafone to pay it off over a couple of years - should all be paid off by Feb 2026 but at least I can afford the monthly repayments of £10 pm

You're still paying it? Holy shit! I once racked up more than $25k in credit card debt. I stopped making payments. Collectors harassed us for quite a while. Would call all day starting around 8am, and all the way until 6pm. I don't know why we didn't just change our number. lol

Yeah, still paying it. Did consider fighting it, but What the Hell is my fault for buying an I-Phone which I had no hope of understanding or getting to work properly. Put me off them for life, gone ack to my old =burner phone. Simple and easy. No apps, no downloads and impossible to hack.
