Will an AI do Magic next year? (that we know of)


The following things are considered magic:

  • Standard temperature and pressure superconductor developed

  • Factoring RSA-2048

  • All of @jim's predictions come true

  • SPY goes above 1500

  • Mind uploading

  • Trigger a false vacuum decay

  • Intelligence augmentation: Something that can increase (almost) any human IQ by >15 points

  • Time travel, telepathy, teleportation, wormholes used

  • Macroscopic stable self-replicating life not based on existing biological life that can do a backflip

  • ECI >= 200

  • Reverse Aging (significant, e.g. 50 -> 25)

  • Turn 1kg of lead into gold

  • World peace

  • China or Russia is overthrown

  • Alignment is solved

  • Wheat production is 100x cheaper

  • Find aliens (not related to us)

  • Cure depression (works on 95%+ of depressed people)

  • Portable fusion reactors

  • Method is found to resolve any dispute between humans with both coming out happy

  • Anything that is not listed above, but that clearly exceeds the Magicalness bar set by the events above. I can also add new magical things to the list.
