Mods/enhancements: is going to start with just the neuralink bullshit but eventually if it has a strap for you to wrap around your bicep they will call it a mod

I think this is a really good prediction
Thank you
Post-cloud.
We’re going go push SaaS shit that is just OnPrem as a feature.
I believe you could call it edge computing
Goon-Cluster - we keep the hardware under near max load all the time.
MY SERVER IS ABOUT TO CRAAAAASSSHHH 
Oh God this hurts me
Real.

"Quantum" but while technically impressive it is in reality extremely limited.
I miss when futuristic words had things like "tron" "ator" as suffixes.
Turn up the Robotron Oscillator, the signal frequency is modulating!
this and putting an arbitrary large numbers at the end
introducing the Omnitron 5000™!

I also miss that at least it was fun
Decentralized. I think with AI being so heavily reliant on big server farms theyll shift to things that run locally and start calling it "Decentralized AI" or something like that.

It's gonna be "Edge" as people start to suffer cloud and subscription fatigue. When "services" revenue begins to flag, companies will try to get customers back on the hardware treadmill
(This is obviously just my wishful thinking)
I unironically think it'd be neat for there to be home servers designed to be as easy for normal, non-computer-toucher people as the current crop of cloud bullshit is.
Oh, it'll have all the downsides of the cloud, while also using up your space and your internet and your power

I think this is what home NAS systems evolved into already. It's not a network storage anymore, it's a server that has a bunch of available apps, both proprietary and free. And many of these little boxes have enough resources to actually run a few typical "home server" services for a family and maybe some friends. They are often even marketed as a "personal cloud" or something like that.
Clean Blockchain Technology
Certified "Green" blockchain and 
a la a dozen Fukushima's with a design catastrophic failure risk of 1 in 500years on paper, but in reality it's 1 in 100. Over 12 plants it's 1 in 8.

Maybe cloud gaming again. There have been attempts pretty recently, which is a ding against it, but it's a real business model that at least Microsoft is well-positioned for, and it fulfills the primary goal of being a justification for building data centers and filling them with GPUs.
I'm not very good at predicting these though. When I try to come up with reasons to fill a data center full of GPUs I inevitably fixate on things that might actually be useful to someone, which isn't the strat.
Cloud gaming is the ultimate DRM which is why it's actually being pushed. Cloud-exclusive games also make game preservation impossible which is a bonus for the art-hating vampires running the industry.
Yeah when I say "real business model" I of course mean "turns something you can own into a subscription service where you rent from an unaccountable landlord."
But I really think using a data center full of GPUs is important as well, because it's a thing that the various tech companies can argue they have a competitive advantage (pile of capital) at.
I think you're right. I've heard a lot of talk about cloud gaming from clueless boomers in industry.
SkyBidet - keeping your cloud portal clean and secure using streaming AI
I've been seeing a few mentions of GenAI (short for generative), so I peedict that the new term will be Genie. Like a catchall for all of the magical things that tech is supposed to make better or possible.
SkyBidet now features Genie technology to make your every wish a reality! Just Make A Wish into your device, and our sophisticated personalized Genie will use its awesome powers to grant your desire.
Basically the logical conclusion of magical thinking about technology and

It's going to be Blockchain again. Probably with distributed or decentralization attached
When y'all weren't paying attention, bitcoin reached a new high and it's over 60k again. Half the recruiters reaching out to me represent some dumb Blockchain startup
all of you are not concept-pilled enough and it shows smh my head
'quantum' is too easy. with tech trends as they are now, I'm going to go with either 'distributed', 'hybrid', or 'federation'
quantum is too easy, but you know we're right
quantum is like a half-decade or more out IMO. the 'next buzzword' has been quantum for a good while. I have not seen enough instances where you have basic shit like the talktotransformer/ai dungeon-esque solid publicized foundations of that branch heralding the marketeer horsemen. maybe in like two or more buzzwords. currently it's nothing notable. if I'm wrong I'm wrong but this is a matter of physicality and i just think techbros/SV simply do not know ball for that
ping me when the diminishing returns dam breaks on hardmaxxing transformer/diffusion models' solo capabilities and every salesman and their mark starts ranting and raving about hybrid models. I'm calling it now, this will be to GenAI what NFTs/smart contracts were to crypto
we fixed hallucinations! we just needed to hardcode sensitive responses and redirect computation requests to prebuilt scripts!
no shit sherlock glad it took you a lake and a half
"mycelial networked synthetic intuition"
You know this sounds a bit like a paper that was recently published
Filaments of the Slime Mold Cosmic Web and How They Affect Galaxy Evolution
off-planet backups
negative latency networking
psychedelic nanobots
The way things are going I'll say...Rock. It's a rock. But techbros can it up:
You can have a hitting rock, a throwing rock, a sitting rock! Rocks to start fire, rocks to contain fire! There's no end to the potential of Rock! So get in on the ground floor, they're not making any more
Hot rock make boat go.
Oh no, boat hit rock. Save us, Celine Dion!
Quantum computing maybe
in the quantum cloud
We can try 3D printers again since they didn't become wonder machines the first time around. Only now they do everything like build bridges or make food.
I think this is still in progress
RAG or self-healing for internal use, I have no clue what the next external buzzwords will be.
Smision
Cloud Unified Materialization
something to do with teledildonics; fuckable robot but it's like a smart fridge with an llm
