When will the overall technological level of our world reach the level of the hacker empire, and will the identities of the wealthy and poor also differ more from reality

When Skynet destroy us

Hopefully it all happens sooner rather than later.

rakuen tsuiho? the amount of data people are allowed to produce is related to its wealth status? who knows lol

If the question is "when will real life have tech similar to that of The Matrix?" Honestly, it's likely society would crumble before that day arrives. The simulated world is set in 1999 where the real world was closer to 2999, according to Morpheus.

The biggest hurdle hands down would be human integrated processing. It's said in the film that humans are used for energy, which doesn't make sense as humans are an inefficient engine. (When you look into the raw math of input vs output.) But, in the original script it was said humans were being used for processing purposes. The reason that was changed was that at the time modern audiences didn't know what a processor was.

Using humans for processing rather than energy makes way more sense, as the human brain is still the most complex computer we know of. Integrated electronics to utilize activity in the brain already exist, they've been around for a while, but using a brain AS a computer is still something we've yet to see, mostly due to ethical reasons. It's possible there have been secret experiments trying this out, but it's yet to be seen by the public.

On the other hand, we are on the verge of quantum computing, supposedly. Big if true. The last two centuries shot humanity into a technological age never thought possible. If we stop letting huge corporations putting profits before real innovation, we could likely arrive there before the stated date in the film. but that'll require pullinng the hands of capital off the wheel steering humanity's development.

people would jump into the Matrix if the robots promised an AI gf LOL

Matrix girls only green and white, is that okay for you

Hacker Empire, never really, resources are always going to be required even if they might be less what they produce and more what they hold. An empire of just hackers cant stand, you need production of something, and even if we do some how reach the end of the tech tree as it were.

I don't know, the identities of the wealthy are most people who luck into agenda and regime change or are most willing to make risky plays with their higher then average level of social capital and innate abilities. Not counting those that live dependent on the wealthy.

Living in the actual matrix with robots hooking us up to a VR/AR machine and feeding and caring for us in pods, is already a much better sounding fiction then our real world.

I seriously can not take it even slightly serious the idea of AI or whatever trying to wipe us all out. It's on par with the idea of the animal kingdom all rising up to kill us. Minus doing so by random chance rather then intentioned actions I see no reason, even less do I see a reason for them to stay here, or keep us. Space exists with free energy all over it, and nuclear lasts far longer then this planet will last.

Permanent VR/AR machine sounds fun and all until you realize you will be hooked into future equivalent of TV, complete with AI-generated ad injections.

Technology is mostly scams. You are foolish to trust in it.

>tfw no matrix gf

We have already reached the technological level of The Matrix in 2025 btw.

The movie suggests a completely immersive simulated reality, one that can perfectly fool the human brain through direct neural input. That implies ultra-advanced neuroscience, quantum-level computing, and energy systems capable of running billions of lifelike simulations in real time.

Using humans for processing rather than energy makes way more sense, as the human brain is still the most complex computer we know of. Integrated electronics to utilize activity in the brain already exist, they've been around for a while, but using a brain AS a computer is still something we've yet to see, mostly due to ethical reasons. It's possible there have been secret experiments trying this out, but it's yet to be seen by the public.

Also worth noting that while our brains are analogous to computers, they differ on a fundamental level. On the most basic level, digital computers are only good at math, whereas our brains are only good at pattern recognition. It took a lot of time, work, and effort to get computer vision to where it is today, and even then it's not perfect. Whereas we've been using our eyes to navigate the world for millions of years no problem.

All that to say that it could make sense to use humans as processors for tasks that digital systems struggle with. Damn near any computer out there could easily outpace a human when it came to crunching numbers, but there might be other tasks they need done that are vastly more efficient when put through a human processor.

we have already achieved the technological level of The Matrix by the 2020s.

Do we already have super advanced sci-fi level tech, or is it mostly scams? It can't be both.

actually technology is already rapidly failing. Technology provides no real solutions to the world's problems. The end result of human extinction is fast-arriving. There won't be anymore humans by the next century, that's for sure. This species is toast.
