Why so long? What do scientists do all day?

Real advancements in science and engineering do not come from universities or corporate laboratories.

Real advancements are made by independently-wealthy autists in their basement or garage.

There may be a hundred ways to approach a problem, then when you choose one it branches into 100 other problems, and you don't know if you should give up and try a different approach or try a different approach within your approach, or try to figure out a way past a problem with the current approach. 

It is hell. Or maybe I'm just retarded.

try to earn and keep grants

It took us millions of years just to figure out how to plant seeds, and tens of thousands after that to figure out how to extract nitrogen from the air so we could actually feed this many people.



Rome was not built in a day, some shit takes generations.



...but also there's a lot of grift and competing nonsense involved for those in particular.

And somehow we figured out how to split the atom within 50 years.

The men watch porn all day. The women spend all day talking.

Even if all of this happens, I think people are naive if they believe that humans care about other humans. The 1% will literally just let us fucking die. It's not a conspiracy, it's happening in real-time. Rampant homelessness globally, skyrocketing rent and food prices. They are killing people by doing these things. I don't believe in the human race to do the right thing.

Waste time doing side jobs that actually pay money

>What do scientists do all day?

I'm one of those well paid corporate scientists and what I do all day is 

1) be bothered by people without PhDs that I'm supposed to be training (this is ok, it's why I'm well paid)

2) design/test numerical methods for "solving" a problem whose actual real analytical solution has evaded the scientific community for decades.



So very little on a day-by-day basis, but if 6 months from now the computer does X 25% better, then everyone is very happy.

they do nothing. they want gibs from the government so they give super long times to extend how long they get gibs for

AGI by 2030

Nuclear Fusion in just 20 years

Couldnt AGI invent fusion for us? Unless AI researchers use some faggotry definition of AGI about awareness or something equally pointless, because shouldnt AGI be just as good if not better then humans in literally everything?
