The invention of the century!
What crazy inventions would you like to see this century?
I need friendly super-intelligent AI to pull through!
Medical nanobots and immersive virtual reality would be nice.
What say you?

Good idea tbh. Amazon already doing this for their deliveries, so let's do it for fast food! Make the obese people more obese!
That reminds me, I
need
an anti-obesity pill.

I'm asking what inventions you would like to see in the future, not ones that already exist

I'll second friendly ASI. The most important invention of all-time, by far.
Excellent

Some matrix style stuff where you could upload something to your brain and learn it straight away. Like if you wanted to learn french you just upload it to your brain and you're instantly fluent , that would be so cool

I bet this has already been found but they won't release it because drug companies make too much money off treatments
