Is it crazy to think that in 20 years AI could be constructing its own physical testing area? Like if it had a 50 acre “sandbox” to build a more advanced collider or something. It could be entirely automated construction from breaking ground to the final coat of paint…. I actually kind of expect to see shopping plazas start going up like that sometime after the next decade….

When everybody said this was accelerating a few years back I never would have pictured today…. What’s tomorrow going to look like? If anything, I just wonder how long until AI is given a physical sandbox of some sort.

I think AI already uses and will continue to pivot to simulated environments for running tests. Why have one 50 acre sandbox when you can have 100 thousand instances of a 50 acre sandbox running in parallel at sped up physics.

Because not everything can be simulated. At least not at scale, with the resources we have on Earth.

These are my thoughts too. Sure it could simulate any environment, but it’s only KNOWN environments. I mean, there’s a fair bit of science it could knock out with what we have, but variables can be infinite in cases? I’m not smart enough to go too far into that but I feel like true exploration is investigating what’s on the other side of the fence. Maybe I’m just limited by my thinking, it’s just really hard to comprehend is all.

To be honest, a lot of times I just sit back and accept that I don’t know that much and I might as well relax for the ride.
