I was thinking about this as I was watching the recentJensen Huang nvda CES 2025 keynote, he was obviously hyping the AI which is his job but at one point he got on stage with a legion of the ROBOT THIGHS (this was sometime after the moment when he dramatically introduced nvda software to help corporations prepare for onboarding of their AI generated black men robot slave employees,
>>6171766 rendered in DLSS) so Jensen gets on stage in his black shiny sequin jacket with this long line of stationary humanoid robots, they are all standing there immobile, the robots gave a wave and that was it, your 3400 tera operations per second nvda Blackwell bought you a robot slave that waves like a mentally impaired person; this is how the future robot wars will be fought: each side assembles like a Napoleonic firing line, the robots wave at each other like retards until the human army commanders on both sides watching see this and mutually die of cringe.
But my point is even if this happens, this is a retrofuture, it is already in videogames like Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare or Deus Ex or Cyberpunk 2077, so nvda for all its futuristic robot thigh stunts is merely fulfilling something Syd Mead probably scribbled back in the 1970s.
So where is the ACTUAL FUTURE to be found? Probably somewhere in the 250m and greater future populations and demographics like Nigeria, Indonesia, Brazil, China, India etc whose population and cultural impact will eventually be amplified as their incomes rise, cultural voice converges with their percentage share of world population / world consciousness etc. There are also smaller geopolitical lynchpin countries eg this article from Eurasia Group
