Yall think we will have exoskeletons, chips, etc… on the next years?
I think we will have soon soon exoskeletons to help older people to walk and soldiers on battles.
Societal collapse honestly more likely to happen. People aren’t going to be able to afford housing but you think they’ll afford implants? No one is actually building mega buildings or anything to correct course as of now

Our Adam Smasher will be an Eve.

within the coming decade probably, i’d say. neuralink is ramping up, prosthetics become more sophisticated. materials science keeps innovating. tissue printing is happening within the next 25 years, which will also have some cyberpunkish aspects to it. ai will certainly accelerate this development. unless, you know, it all goes to shit and we get nuclear winter instead or something.
Comrade_Bread
Big ol cyberware replacement of limbs for cosmetic reasons is hard mode transhumanisn and we haven’t even cleared the tutorial level of tolerating transgenderism yet. I’m not confident we’ll get any of the cool tech bits and only get the corporations nightmare realm
VikingXL
Anything from this game coming to pass is inherently bad, but the most likely one is corporate militaries taking over for government entities in certain areas. Companies like Amazon are already perfectly positioned to start fielding “security forces” to protect their “assets”.

Once the war for water starts( whenever THAT happens)
We are accelerating into cyberpunk , baby!
AvarethTaika
well we have exoskeletons for military use, we have brain interfaces, we have implantable tech, we have ai powered wearables that can use information from around us in real time… oh and we have neon signs and futuristic looking cars that run on nothing. so uh… kinda already there? social collapse is next i suppose huh

I’m thinking the US is going to Balkanize in the next decade or so.

Same as always: computing and consumer electronics will get better but everything else will stagnate
LordMarvic
We will have a lot if not all of the bad stuff from cyberpunk and very little of the cool stuff.
My_MeowMeowBeenz
Regular people are not going to have all of this integrated hardware replacing limbs on people other than amputees. We have enough trouble getting bodies to accept tissue from other humans, let alone hypothetical cybernetic implants.
biblionoob
we are re attaching humans arms to amputee better than we developped the mind controlled prostetic limb. Exoskeletlon , maybe , but controlling thing with our mind or feeling thing that arnt our body is muuuch more complicated and not doable at the moment

Neuralink…..

I think we’ll eventually be able interact & upload brain data to servers. I’m just not sure how long it’ll take to get there & if we’ll manage to digitalize conciousness.

I predict **if** we get anything akin to cyberlimbs, they will work on proprietary software. And eventually the owner of that software or the soft itself will either be bought up by a corporation, leading to the soft no longer being supported.
Which means a lot of people will spend a whole lot of money on tech, surgery, and non-functional cyberware. Or at least, limbs that function for only 5 to 10 years.
Oh, and it will all be advertised with a “lifetime warranty. “
afatcatfromsweden
I doubt exoskeletons will come but there will possibly be commercial brain chips for the wealthy and probably bionic limbs that are close to or on par with regular human limbs but I doubt they’ll exceed medical purposes
Expert_Expression_89
There’s been a lot more experiments and tests done with devises in the brain to control things so honestly I think that’ll be a big thing
Yossarian216
Wearable type of stuff is far more likely than implanted, just from a practicality standpoint. Things like exoskeletons or prosthetics are easier to repair, maintain, and update if they aren’t built into your body. Plus every break in the skin is a potential source of infection.
They would also need to figure out ways to address the massive cybersecurity issues inherent with putting a computer in your brain. Pretty much every computer we’ve got is incredibly vulnerable to hacking, but that’s especially true of IoT devices, which are the closest analog we’ve got to many of the implants.
habichuelamaster
We will all be dead before anything close to getting implants for fun would be an accessible thing. If it ever happens, that is.
Different_Eyes0011
I think it’s already in motion minus the cool aesthetics.
From Corporations to Private Militaries and Industrial complex, pretty much already here.
Space trips are about to become a thing so the Black Clinic in the moon is not far fetched. Augmentations might be behind but all in all we are going steadfast towards a similar thing 🤣
Darkvenom39
With AI becoming a thing in most products and homes as well as seeing what the apple vision pro is and how much it resembles kiroshi optics, corporations getting bigger, the world getting more expensive and darker, we might have an equivalent world to the game tbh
xkeepitquietx
We will get all the depressing parts but not the cool 80s esthetic.
TangerineVivid7656
Exos are already a reality, not in a hollywood level, but they exist.
I would like to see better hands in 5 years, and what it would be the best thing, neural implants that reconnect dead neural ends for paraplegics and quadriplegic people.
But the thing is simple, money rules the world, so dont expect anything at cyberpunk level for everyone
Apprehensive_Use1906
There is already a brain chip that bypasses a damaged spine and allows a person to walk with the help of predictive ai. The implications are kind of wild.
I hope it doesn’t fuckin happen lol. I’ve been reading the books for Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk RED and learning about the lore. There’s **A LOT** of evil shit that happened in order to get to the point they are in Cyberpunk.
PrintJaded1883
We will probably be well on our way to deep space exploration before we ever get cybernetics. Our bodies do not do well with implants that require sensors also implanted with it. Neuralink is BS and well behind any of its “peers” since they are trying to implant into the body. Most research is done with external sensors on the head or limbs. In fact I imagine we’ll have lab grown limbs with perfect skin grafts before we even get close to cyberpunk level implants. It’s basically pure fiction.
Pickle-Tall
I personally would love to have cyberware and cybernetics however we need to go around and take out the pure-only humans to do so, they need to be removed from all official offices and positions so we can progress to this point otherwise it’s just going to be the “cloning of animals for food” agenda again.
Lumpy_Appeal_7971
We can look forward to a future where income inequality is even more pronounced, where the rich live in their luxury high rises while the rest of us scavenge in the alleys for scraps.
thiccvicx
I think we won’t be implanting tech any time soon. Not as normies. I think we’ll see all kinds of wearable tech, but not implant it. Why implant a monitor when you can just wear it for less cost / risk and easier improvement.
Smexy_Zarow
when we harness quantum mechanics they will find the answer to consciousness and start mass producing conscious programs for industrialisation.
Heamoanne
Probably not cyberware, not yet at least. A lot of corporate bullshit is already happening, tho. Like, in 2022 the private security of Gazprom took over a police investigation on the death of one executive, if that isn’t pure cyberpunk I don’t know what is. So yeah, corporate overlords may be on the horizon.
Im_Your_God_
We’re in it.

I doubt it would be extreme as night city is. The extreme oversexualization or the civilians made to be killing machines didnt really make sense to me.

We couldn’t even handle a single jab of vaccine few years ago.
And now we are expecting our real world gonna be okay with cyber wear?
Cool i will take off my eye balls tomorrow and change it to Kiroshi. So whats dinner?
crashusmaximus
– Gene therapy, gene councilling and genetic ‘adjustment’ will become available within the next 20 years. In 40 years it’ll be as common getting genetic ‘work’ done on yourself will be as common as getting your teeth cleaned is now.
– Quantum computing combined with AI will result in computers that can network with 20x as many different systems as our current tech can now, allowing for easy access to things such as Augmented Reality, Digitized Biological ‘Twinning’, and quantum networking.
– As further demand for safety measures and tools to make firearms ‘safer’, we will begin to introduce new tech that *claims* to lead to safer gun ownership. (complicated locks and storage systems, smart guns that only activate when its registered owner picks it up etc..) of course, all of these and I do mean *all of them* will be insufficient and will have multiple ‘grey area’ work-arounds. Gun ownership will increase, and so will gun violence and deaths.

Prosthetics will defo be a thing. Arm mounted rocket launchers and other guns probably not (imagine having to reload those things, and on top of that general maintenance like barrel cleaning) but arms that help you lift a truck, or legs the make you run at the speed of Usain Bolt definitely could be a possibility
