2070

• Conscious virtual beings are now available in virtual environments. They have human levels of self-awareness and the capacity to feel a wide range of emotions. They often serve as virtual assistants, and they’re also commonplace in some video games. Additionally, the minds of these virtual beings can be uploaded to robot bodies in the real world.

• The most advanced humanoid robots look and act 100% human. They’re so realistic, they can walk around in any public place without anyone being aware that they’re robots. Because of how realistic they’ve become, humans are marrying these robots at rapidly growing rates. Some humans are even buying robot children so that they can have a complete family.

• The most famous artists, scientists, and philosophers from the past are being reconstructed as artificially intelligent virtual beings and humanoid robots. They’re offering insightful perspectives and commentary about the biggest challenges facing humanity.

2080

• Artificial super intelligences are being used as virtual consultants to further the objectives of companies and research institutions.

• Some people are becoming more machine than human. Thanks to machine vision, pre-built algorithms, and ultra-fast sensors, robotic arms can move fast enough to deflect bullets.

• Super Intelligent AIs are so remarkably intelligent that some humans have started new religions to worship them as Gods.

• Human opposition groups are emerging around the world to stop further advances of super-intelligent AIs. In some countries, members of these groups are starting to disappear under mysterious circumstances.

2090

• Conscious virtual beings far outnumber biological humans. A new civil rights movement is being started to give them property rights, the right to vote in elections, and the right to marry each other.

2100

• Humans are merging with Artificial Super Intelligences to make themselves billions of times more intelligent. This is possible because human brains are now 100% compatible with software. As a result, some people can see up to 50 steps into the future and see millions of possibilities before taking any action. Soon, entire synthetic brains will be created, which will make the human-to-AI integration process even more seamless. When this happens, this will result in humans being able to make a century of intellectual progress in one hour.

• The most intelligent AIs are able to predict crimes many weeks before they occur. That’s because they’re able to analyze the thought patterns and biological signals of billions of people.

• High-end, floating vehicles now have self-awareness, and they respond to telepathic commands from humans.

• Spaceships controlled by God-like artificial intelligences are building a Dyson sphere around the Sun.

10,000 A.D.

• Computers the size of small Moons and asteroids are being constructed in our solar system and neighboring solar systems. Concentrated energy from Dyson spheres is transmitted to them, enabling levels of computation that were never before possible. Some of these large computers are often called Matrioshka Brains, and they’re directly attached to the exteriors of Dyson spheres to ensure maximum energy transmission.

• Some AIs have chosen to split from humanity, and they’re forming their own civilizations on planets that are uninhabitable to normal humans.

1 Million Years

• Planet-sized computers have been constructed. They’re powerful enough to manipulate space-time and help us have full control of gravity waves. Some of these enormous computers are capable of consciousness, making them the largest known conscious entities that ever existed.

• The universe is being infused with intelligence. Conscious, robot probes comprised of self-replicating nanobots are being sent to dozens of other galaxies through wormholes. Planets and moons are being converted to smart materials comprised of neural networks. We even discovered a fallen alien civilization that is believed to have discovered how to merge intelligence with subatomic particles, gravity waves, and space-time.

And Beyond

• Some humans and AI hybrids have transcended into beings in a higher dimension. They’re able to disappear and reappear at will, walk through walls, and manipulate any object using only their minds. They’re remarkably similar to fabled deities of the past.

• Computers are now larger than the size of planets and stars. Some of them are so large and powerful that they have to be placed in hyperspace, which is a form of multidimensional space that exists outside of our universe. Trillions of digitized human minds are merged with these computers to enable unimaginable intelligence levels.

• The most advanced intelligence that has ever been known to exist is creating entire universes. This intelligence permeates in every atom, physical law, and living organism of these universes. The most recent universe was created with an enormous Big Bang, which caused a blinding flash of light in hyperspace. It’s believed that this process has repeated itself more times than anyone will ever know.
