Existence, reality, also why large corporations have caused curious persons and researchers to move to a different world (in mind)?

Alternate title: “Navigating the Future: The Intersection of Imagination, Technology, and Human Essence”
Researchers working on researching new knowledge, many challenges exist, one of it is access to resources for the intended technology. Lack of resources means a person is left only with their imagination and their own brain body, and surrounding things, which are often of little use when it comes to practicality of implementation. People might be tempted to say the hardness of the problem, but most things in nature are easy if they are constructed right, they just work magically, of course, it takes knowing them or parts of it, which are again observed from nature, or predicted based on laws of universe (works all the time), or other heuristical knowledge (may or may not work). ofc, this post can make more sense for it been seen as an outsider of an corporation. Many great things require huge effort, as seen in the present, which of course may not be in the future, and not all people would invest their time doing state-of-the-art research as focus can be more on living and sustaining and entertaining the selves, rather than working for others all the time, well maybe not always.
A well example is the use of massive computation to train huge networks such as multi modal LLM, text 2 text,img, video generators, . The terms massive and huge are relative to this year 2024, which if the production geared towards such can affect feeling of it later as they become everyday things, say in 2050. What impact can these systems have with their utmost positiveness on our everyday lives? for beings of senses and feelings, being comforted and extraordinary feelings can be enabled through use of these technologies, for e.g. a human-like non-sentient entity, aka. robot. Few of many desires include magical healthcare and energy alike for being, exotic existential experience, extraordinary feelings of being the self (evolved form of beings from unbreakable chain of existence since dawn of time), extraordinary feelings of future to build upon, rediscovering the extraordinary past, unfathomable exploration of the world and beyond, more higher evolved form of us, more stronger, resilient, sensitive, precise, emotional, (although many higher things can be attained through current existing form : feelings which can be describable mythical, beyond ordinary, feeling like extra-sensory,…), more capable of thinking when needed all the time without a mental block, so being can process higher thinking without interruption of their selves.

Thinking on this, the technology and growth changes, changing our experience, but do we change what we are at the core, still human beings. Most or all humans, look for self-validation by trying to prove their worth to existing society, in this overly growing society of many humans where human look to survive and thrive, in this constrained form of existence.
Hoping for things to happen which don’t work? one way to get around that is to know the universe and make peace with it, or look at things differently to try to transform and gear it towards what is intended so it really becomes a reality. But lack of knowledge can make it impossible, and even if there is knowledge to build a thing, the lack of tools makes the knowledge insignificant for practical use, although the knowledge can just exist and be preserved for later use.
Believing in things before they are made is usually difficult, and believing in things after they are made is usually easy. Its easy to learn on things which are already existing, while the imagination does not go outside the known knowledge, how is really new knowledge found?, on atomic level its the sum of constituent stuff, but for humans it feels new, hence ‘new knowledge’. Without society knowing the language, the language is useless, and writings are useless if they are never read, but fortunately, now we know that eternal AI can take things you wrote, but again, just like human, may not understand the meaning of each word written the way it was meant.
But again, fortunately, we have many sci-fi stories which motivate the researchers to even start thinking towards it, or circumstances and desires move them to focus on things to do, so they can be accomplished in near future.. an entity satisfying its desires of existence. The living of the future, vs the living of the past, all in all, exists in the same new old universe that we know. The states of existence that are achieved
Looking at great things, activates those heavy pathways in the brain which allow the mind the believe and look for things which are possible. Such heavyness, is the strength of the mind, the weight of an idea (“an idea weighing heavily on person’s head”).
