What Would Happen If You Went One Billion Years Into the Future?
If you travelled 10,000 years into the future, what would planet Earth look like? Would most of its surface be covered in volcanoes, or would it be frozen in ice? What if you travelled even further, one million years in the future? Would all of the oceans have evaporated, or would they have become one giant water world? Okay, now what about 1 billion years? Would there be any humans left, or would they have settled in other parts of the galaxy? This is what would happen if you travelled 1 billion years into the future. Let's face it, the chances of any humans being around to greet you when you arrive 1 billion years into the future are pretty low. Several key existential threats face the human race, and if we want to be around in one billion years, we'll need to endure them all. We've seen how much we've struggled to come together just to survive a global pandemic, so how do we have any chance of enduring the threats of climate change? Overpopulation, global nuclear war, killer asteroids and comets, natural ice ages, and the sun getting a whole lot hotter Well, let's take a look into the future and find out that just under ten thousand years from now, we're going to run into a big problem called the decamillennium bug. In the year 10,000, the ad software encoding the ad calendar year won't encode dates with more than four decimals. Remember y2k? Yeah, it's just like that, except hopefully we won't panic as much this time around. On the bright side, in 10,000 years, genetic differences and traits between humans will no longer be regional traits like skin and hair color but will be evenly distributed around the world. Maybe that will help us all get along. Finally, twenty thousand years into the future, none of the current languages will be recognizable. Future languages will only contain one percent of the core vocabulary words of their present-day counterparts. Fifty thousand years from now will mark a new glacial period for the earth, which will start a new ice age. Niagara Falls will have eroded into Lake Erie completely, and interestingly, a full day on earth will also increase by one second at this point in time, giving you much more time for activities. In 250 000 years, the Loihi volcano will rise above the water to form a new island in Hawaii, and in 500 000 years, it's likely that an asteroid with a diameter greater than one kilometer will hit Earth unless we can prevent it. The resulting crater will be no less than 400 kilometers across. It will start fires all over the planet and make the air unbreathable, so there's something to look forward to, and in case that's not enough, in 1 million years we'll likely have another super volcano eruption large enough to spew out 3200 cubic kilometers of ash. It would produce enough lava to fill 75 percent of the Grand Canyon. This would be similar to the Toba eruption that almost wiped out humanity 70 000 years ago. Oh, and the nearby star Beetlejuice will have exploded into a supernova by this time, making it visible from earth even during the daytime in 2 million a.d. Humanity will have settlements throughout the solar system. This also means that if populations on different planets have remained separate, humans may have evolved into other species adapted to their specific world. In 10 million years, a huge part of eastern Africa will break off, forming a new ocean basin. Africa will collide with Europe, closing off the Mediterranean Sea, and a new mountain range will form between the two land masses. This mountain range may include a mountain taller than Mount Everest. Out in space, Mars will collide with its moon, resulting in it developing a ring system like Saturn's in 60 million years. The Canadian and American Rockies will have eroded entirely in 80 million years. All Hawaiian islands will be below the water in 100 million years. An asteroid 10 kilometers wide, similar to the one that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, will most likely strike Earth in 250 million years. All of earth's continents will be fused together like pangaea, except this time it will be called pangaea ultima, but don't get too attached to it because in 400 to 500 million years, Pangaea ultima will separate again in 500 to 600 million years.

Is AI Sentient?
The short anwer is no. No, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is not sentient. Sentience refers to the capacity to have subjective experiences, feelings, and consciousness. While AI systems can perform complex tasks, analyze data, and make decisions based on algorithms, they do not possess subjective experiences or consciousness. AI operates based on predefined rules, patterns, and algorithms, and its actions are determined by its programming and the data it has been trained on. The current state of AI technology does not involve sentient or conscious machines.

Artificial intelligence creates the “perfect” male and female body according to social media data
For men, the ideal woman is blonde and for them, the perfect guys must be tall, dark and muscular. At least these are the main characteristics for the artificial intelligence of a perfect man and woman based on data and social behaviors obtained through information on social networks, such as comments on profiles of people with these certain characteristics that are very related to culture and influence from each country.

AI impact on the finance and business
Introduction The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has had a far-reaching impact on the world of finance and business. AI, a form of advanced machine learning, is the process of teaching computers to complete tasks that would normally require human intelligence. This can include things such as recognizing patterns, making decisions, and responding to inputs. AI has the potential to revolutionize both finance and business, allowing companies to become more efficient and effective than ever before.
