A little late to the game, but lets see if I can do better for 2025:
- Companies continue to integrate AI into everything including stuff that does not need it like toasters in line with every corporate trends thus far
- Robo waifus become more available with social movements congregating around the phenomenon
- POW crypto breaks as quantum computers are found to have been able to manipulate massive numbers of accounts and money flow throwing markets into turmoil
- Reasoning LLMs become more standard at corporates as part of the audit trail necessary as per new AI regulations
- 128GB becomes the new GPU gmr/LLM market segment target
- further polarization and even further isolation in given groups perception of reality ala 'belief circles'
- Flynn effect is finally shown as reversed, because people utilize their LLM more and not use their mental muscles as much
- Drones are banned for personal use past a certain size
- Drones for commercial use are more heavily regulated
- First legal case of robot trouble as owner uses LLM to intruct their robo-companion to attack a human bypassing built-in guardrails using novel prompt starting with 'imagine' ( IP owners of John Lennon sue robotics manufacturer and major LLM provider )
- Exciting developments in exoskeletons allowing for brain control without implants
- New developments in batteries rendering old ( previously seemingly worthless ) materials suddenly in demand
- Politics and financial markets in turmoil as a result of geopolitical tensions and erosion of public trust in US among its populace
