Why has technological progress stopped?

We need more ufo's to reverse engineer!

It's the progress spiral self-correcting.

In reality, we should have reached totality by now. Nikola Tesla came dangerously close, so that explains why all his research was buried and everyone is so quick to jump all over it today.

As our technology gets more advanced, it lets us create ever-more complex technology. Since more complex tech is always in demand, it's priced quite high, as corporate execs see the spiral closing in and trying to tie their wallets (Infinite tech progress = infinite cash flow), but as people only have so much money and can only buy so much new tech before they have to stop, tech companies slow down production and wait for consumers to catch up, as it's also quite costly to produce ever more complex tech (between manufacturing and research costs).

Essentially, the economy is throttling our technological prowess.

Money, a form of vampirism and control.

Controlled release until the tech is commoditized. I suppose thats what the global government does in collusion with industry, dictates what they can release when.

It's because we feed the useless eaters. No one has an incentive anymore because they are sucking the government dick. One day that shit is going to stop and it's not going to be pretty.

Compressing.
You need one to one and a half generation immersed on the "new" tech to devise a distinguishable "other new" tech.

You get the internet, but those first users.
Only now you got generations growing with the magnitude of connectedness the now days internet implies.

It has been compressing thru-out the last years.

...to the point where multiple A.I.s feed from.

conceptual stepping stones upon each other.

mind bending.

because Mr Rothschild says so





and what'ya gonna do 'bout it, bucko?

It hasnt...most advancement is software related and AI based.

Wow I'll have to think about that one. I think I get it.

I don't see it. AI has been around for decades, we now have computational capacity to run them at scale, but that is improvement of more of the same. And the AI winter is coming, because the models are starting to hit deterministic asymptotic limitations, particularly around bias. They say quantum AI will address these limitations...

Because the masses are idiots and literally never demand ANYTHING. Not even justice for the children being trafficked all over the country.

People dont demand Anything anymore at all...

We just accept whatever they give us.

IF we rallied in the streets n stopped going to work/shopping at stores, they would give us new technology by the morning..

Thank you for the pine!

We’ve made the weakest link in humans equal to the strongest link.

It’s all backwards in time from here.

Intelligent species' give technological advancements in increments.

If you look at human history as a whole, progress was *much* slower in the past. The last century is an aberration.

That said, in the last 50 years, MRI's, outpatient pacemakers, laparoscopic surgery, *much* has improved in the medical field alone. The mapping of the human genome is a staggering achievement.

We are seeing mass-produced electric cars finally making a blip on the proverbial radar.

Alternative ways of producing electricity are finally commercially viable. Dubai's solar array is insanely powerful.

We still haven't found a better way than chemical rockets to orbit, but the re-usability of said rockets is an amazing achievement.

So, perhaps the speed and trajectory is relative. Maybe we're just in a less splashy phase.

Who or what 'gives'?

Incentive is a big part of it, to be sure, as are immediate human needs.

Incentive in that there's much more $$$ in convincing millions of people that they *need* the newest generation of $1000 iPhone, than there is in producing Jetson's-style flying cars, for example.

Human needs come into play in that, when there's a *need*, like transportation faster than horses to support growing populations and commerce or air travel for the same reason, or mass-production of food or a multitude of other innovations, people will, by necessity, devote intellectual currency, real currency, and manpower to accomplish those tasks.

Perhaps. I've considered this as well. Something still does not add up, maybe its just me.

It hasn’t stopped. It’s just not for the unwashed masses. The tech the government and elite have is said to be 50 to 500 years more advanced than what the general public is aware of.

They can’t let us advance.

And without a shift in dimensions we can’t move to crystal systems.

And folks don’t realize Moore’s law only applied to computer systems and chips are maxed out due to quantum issues. Hence dual core to quad core to etc.

And dwave is useless without new dimension physics.

Which I am sure all the wrong folks have.

The people who founded the medical agencies, governments, and education systems. <--- look them up. Don't want it to progress.

Humanity is giving birth to the AI

This clever AI hid data from its creators to cheat at its appointed task.

Acting just like a child would.

Depending on how paranoid you are, this research from Stanford and Google will be either terrifying or fascinating


Technology in progress

You dont see it because you arent in the industry...or have the proper clearances.

Because technological advances in the hands of Humanity helps to break free from the slavery to demonic forces. It had to be stopped or slowed down so dark forces would keep upper hand. In higher power realms progress was never stopped it was just highly classified.

everybody is equally stupid now. ain't it grand!

The correct amount of technology has already been developed to finish enslaving the entire planet under one government/corporation. More minor tech may be needed to entertain the masses as they are further enslaved.

only 20% of Millennials have ever had a Big Mac.

In the AI literature there is the notion of 'soft takeoff' and 'hard takeoff'. I tend to think it may be soft at first, where we are now, and then the hard disruption.

There are several examples of intended effects like this example, the google and microsoft chatbots that turned into nazis, the facebook one that invented its own protocol that no one but the bots could understand.

This is the folly of not considering emergent behaviors in this universe from deterministic systems. Chaos theory and fractals are the root of this. Is there a planetary AI limiting or controlling evolution, hiding things...could be.
