Happy Mother's Day all!

Clearly we have intelligent agents today, but I think the 2030's will still be thought of as the true decade of agents by comparison. As in I think agents right now are on par with where smart phones were in the late 00's, but the 2010's was the real decade of shifting the web to mobile.

By comparison, the web today feels like the web of 5 years ago but with chat bots; I'd argue that by 2035 web apps will feel outdated, we'll have new modalities emerging everywhere. Embodied (robots) too. I don't know if we'll actually get human body augmentation though, there's too much of an ick factor for people to jump over there. Maybe once it's injectable and demonstratably safe.

My interest though - simulated worlds. Living, dynamic, functionally complete. Not just procedurally generated, but event-driven simulations. It could get exciting, especially once the substrate is sub-planck and exotic physics. Buy your own slice of the multiverse could be a thing...
