I think ar might be a dead dream in its current state, I always thought wed have proper ar glasses by now because I fell for Magic Leaps Marketting, not sure if it'll come anytime soon.

What I do believe is coming is the resurgence of computers through mobile phones. Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn't able to use them to their full potential. I wouldn't be suprised if android pushed out a proper android desktop experience letting android users get the full linux desktop experience when plugged into a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Phone performance is stronger than the average laptops/netbooks from 10 years age and they run linux fine for everyday use. Feels like a missed opportunity if someone doesn't drop a phone or os that lets you take advantage of modern hardwares capability. They could advertise it to families, mo more buying a pc for school, just get them hardware for their existing device, it can already do everything. Schools could use lapdocks, or tabletdocks, that could force school parental controls on devices while at school and still let them use it for their education while in class.

(obviously not everyone has a phone but that frees up resources for the kids that dont, if the kids that do can use cheaper docks with their exisitnt hardware)

It makes no sense to think about the future of technology while ignoring one of the biggest technological developments to date. Whatever you think of AI, it's necessarily going to shape every aspect of technological development going forward.

One example I can give you off top of my head is that traditional user interfaces will likely be going away. There's no need to have a complex UI the user has to learn to navigate when you can just use language to describe what you want. You will just ask the agent to find whatever information you need, and present it in a specific way to you. Think of it as having a personal secretary who compiles information for you, and makes presentations.

I personally don't care about AI and am tired of hearing about this, I made this post and specifically put no AI to hear about anything else

If you're interested in AR, you should pay attention to AI too since it looks like the two fields will be intersecting very soon, if not already. Meta has been putting a lot of work into dense point tracking models with very impressive results. It's probably safe to assume AR is their intended application of the tech given their investments in the Meta-verse.

I'm just pointing out that it makes little sense to talk about how technology will develop in the next 5 years while ignoring the biggest factor that will drive the direction of technological development.

Makes plenty of sense, itll still develop in other directions, only vibe coder bros think it'll encompass anything and everything or that it should. If you want to talk about machine learning in medicine go for it, generative Ai is boring to talk about, I don't care for it, you have infinite threads to talk about it why choose this one. There are infinite topics in this world that can be covered without ai needing to be spoken about.

Generative AI is just the tip of the iceberg. For example, Huawei AI targets industry upgrades as opposed to chatbots. This has applications in medicine, robotics, research, hardware design. Letting your biases blind you to what's actually happening with technology leads to myopia.

IM NOT BLIND TO SHIT HOLY SHIT, WHY ARE YOU BEING OBTUSE ON PURPOSE, IM NOT BANNING ALL AI DISCUSSION EVER FROM LEMMY I SIMPLY SAID NO AI FOR THIS SINGULAR THREAD, WHY IS FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS SO DIFFICULT FOR AI DICKRIDERS

The all-caps delivery really frames your thesis beautifully.
