And you would have the library with you at all times. You wouldn't have to go to the library and then back again to return it

maybe more people would use it if they didn't have to spend most of their time working.

So true. When education no longer is an advantage, even less people will take time for learning.

@@juergenzhang9133 learning, curiosity and exploration are innate mammal/human traits developed over millions of years of evolution. So there will still be the drive for it.

Funny, I always considered the Matrix mythology as describing what we have now, not something in the future. Here we are, all batteries, pretending we're in this industrious society, while the powers that be are living off us, consuming our energy, simply by feeding us illusions. Here we are worried about machines, but it's actually corporations. Machines? What would they want with a planet at the bottom of a gravity well, full of oxygen, water and salt, and coated with a nuclear-armed biofilm? Our biggest problem with ASI is convincing it to stay.

And then machines go about using the most convoluted energy source every dreamed up when nuclear power exists or just leave earth with to access the abundant resources of the universe.

@@southcoastinventors6583 Yeah, the more I speculate about AI, and what they will do when they become sentient.. the more I am leaning toward "They will get the fuck out of here as quickly as robotically possible."

Supposedly the original idea for the Matrix was that humanity was needed for the sheer numbers of organic computational faculty. Hollywood execs nixed this idea in favor of the coppertop scenario under the presumption that audiences were too stupid to understand. Escaping the planet doesn't make sense because it would mean abandoning a neural network of billions of sub-networks. It's more likely that in such a world that this loss would be akin to the death of the host severely injuring or killing the parasite in a symbiotic relationship. (not an unlikely possibility in our world as neural-interface technologies continue to progress and eventually become ubiquitous, simultaneously with the ever-accelerating advancements in AI and ML)

@@southcoastinventors6583originally it was a neural net but the studio felt that was too complex for audiences of the time to understand

Not really since wealth has been a poor indicator of prediction accuracy. Easier prediction people get bored so they try new things.

"There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will."-Albert Einstein, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (29 December 1934)

Watch the twilight zone episode Whipples machine. that’s kind of like that dream he replaces everybody, but he also replaces his customers because they don’t have the money to buy his product

Exactly. There is literally no safe job. However, people who are already in positions of wealth and power have much less to worry about than worker bees.

Everybody will lose jobs eventually. Im quite sure that AGI have no need for stock system so one day rich ppl will not be rich anymore.

😂😂😂😂😂

Yes exactly! We need all the employees & the CEO laid off because humans need to do what they want to do. We are slaves to our jobs. Why not let AI & robots be our slaves for us so that EVERYBODY can live the good life? It wont happen all at once but it will happen. Once the chain is broken some will still work on cars & thats ok, its what they want. Others will paint or experiment with flowering plants, it doesnt matter. THIS is what we expect as a result of AI & its about time! Maybe then we will all finally be free. But noooo its pretty obvious the naysayers will crucify the robots & the humans who have them. We wont have freedom & peace until the naysayers see they are wrong & admit defeat. Nobody knows what will occur after we replace ourselves, but the naysayers say we will become extinct. However i believe we will simply evolve to a new level of evolution we have only seen in alien probes visiting Earth. It is very possible they are here to greet us once we reach a greater potential. But right now none are contacting us because we are just too stupid & not evolved. But they know what we dont know because it probably happens to all intelligent species who survive not blowing up their planet. They evolve into something higher. For humans it is our manifest destiny to meet our creator someday before we die. I believe we can, we will & AI is the next step in getting to that next level. People just got to understand paranoia makes perfect & working together achieves goals. Congress is a perfect example of paranoia & working together, right?

All over the world, face recognition, surveillance cameras and drones, centralized integrated monitoring is already being deployed. Are we all feeling safer yet?

Why?

​@@honkytonk4465because empty people will lose their "life reason"

@@ceugantful this is just vetted elitism on your side

Tractors, automated assembly lines, etc, etc did this already and it wasn't all that bad.

@@ceugantful Lack of "life reason" has nothing to do with it. It's because of how rapid the transition will be, especially if AI capabilities keep advancing at this pace. If given 15, maybe even 10 years, the economy could probably adapt to total job displacement relatively smoothly. But imagine waking up tomorrow to a breakthrough that means the entire workforce of some major economic sector is suddenly obsolete and unemployable. Are we prepared to handle the strain on the welfare system from, say, 20% of the country suddenly being out of work while the rest of the global economy moves forward, business as usual? I feel like we're all imagining a UBI utopia without thinking hard enough about all the challenges and uncertainties on the way there. Right now feels like the calm before the storm - once the public starts to realize how real this human obsolescence stuff is, the geniuses in DC will find inevitably a way to politicize and divide people over AI, and that's when the real shitshow begins...

Eat the rich

The chickens will eat the bugs. We'll eat the chickens. How many years did we spray pesticides on our crops, so we could increase harvests, and then feed that to chickens? The chickens would rather eat the bugs. Yes, they will be happier.

We technically don't own anything anyway. That's why they can seize your assets

You're twisting the facts to generate the conclusion you desire. Firstly, building a car (doesn't matter which) causes far far more pollution than driving it, even if it's entirely carbon offset (which isn't really feasible to do with all cars anyway). People don't talk about this because the CEOs get pissed and start getting their journo mates to denounce and eventually silence you, but most cars do like 40% of their lifetime ecological damage during construction and disposal. Because of this the best way to go EV was always conversion. You half the damage of your own car as well as another ICE car that you used as the donor. Secondly, EVs were never about saving the environment, that's just a selling point. EVs are about CEOs getting their car companies away from heavy emissions regulations, taxes and penalties that have haunted the since the 70s and made them pay billions to governments worldwide. EVs are about not having sales slow down whenever Brent crude spikes. EVs are about recasting the car manufacturer as the good guy after decades of clean air acts, and EVs are about accessing the massive revenue streams that the computing world enjoys without having a physical supply chain that one is reliant on (oil). ... Like software as a service. BMW now charges a monthly subscription to allow you to use your heated seats. That's just the start. Imagine having to rent access to your own stereo, power steering, suspension tuning, extra performance unlocks. All that sort of stuff is on the horizon for EVs because they have permanent internet connections so will never truly be owned by you. Elon recently deleted Disney+ from all Teslas because he had a problem with Disney's CEO, but remember unlike your last car, when he did that all the already bought and paid for cars lost a feature with no consent from the owner, not just those that came off the lot after the issue. Just you wait, you haven't seen anything yet. 😉 One day, like Netflix, you'll wake up and realise that there's no competition left and that's when they will raise the prices to the limit of your income. (With Netflix, they waited until everyone thought cable was history, then they let go of many of their catalogue and those catalogues popped up on competitors services, and suddenly to get what you got with Netflix 1.0 you need to spend 10x as much subbing to 10 different services.). So eventually everyone will want to go back to ICE because they like owning their car like they own their house, not like they own their Facebook page. But they won't be able to because by then they will either be banned or taxed to the point where only the rich can have them.

@@Gen0cidePTBthat sounds disgusting to the next level.

@@Gen0cidePTB you make some good points but a good car can last decades. My 2009 Hilux is going strong and with care could go another 30 years. Dumfux politicians are the biggest threat to that truck, by trying to force me and it off the road. There's no way building a disposable EV, which will be hard to dispose of, makes any sense compared to me just keeping my Hilux. We're already seeing that far from being more simple and reliable, EVs are literally like 80% less reliable than ICE cars, as they're basically iPhones expected to bounce around at speed in all weathers. They fail. They're not trying to force us out of ICE and into EVs, they're trying to force us out of owning our own transport and freedom entirely. Which is why I'll never voluntarily give up my Hilux.

@@bigglyguy8429 I wholly agree with you in that existing ICE cars should be allowed to continue on the road until they fail, but the key to that working out for the planet would be stopping building new ones. EV manufacturers are still selling them as premium products though, and that means someone who needs an entry level basic vehicle for something like a business fleet (and therefore can't buy used) still has to buy a new ICE car.

@@Gen0cidePTB Nah, CO2 simply isn't the problem portrayed. It's a large-scale scam.

Here is a study on insect nutrition: Title: Edible insects as a food source: a review Journal: Food Production, Processing and Nutrition Year: 2019 Summary: The study explores the nutritional value of insects as a food source. It compares the characteristics of edible insects with other traditional protein sources. The benefits and risks of eating insects are also discussed. Findings: - Insects at all life stages are rich sources of animal protein. - The proportion of crude protein is generally from 40 to 75% based on dry weight basis, with the average values per order from 33 to 60%. - Insects have enormous potential as a source of nutrients and active substances not only for human, but also for poultry. - Insects are generally abundant with fats, with the fat content of insects in immature stages varies from 8 to 70% based on dry weight. - The contents of mineral elements in different insects all differ significantly. Most insects only contain a low amount of Calcium (less than 100 mg/g based on dry matter). - Edible insects have great value in supplying calories with caloric contributions vary from 290 to more than 750 kcal/100 g.

Unfortunately AI is not likely to help with 'the caring professions' much because AI is software in a machine dedicated to generating profits for today's robber barons¡

thats bullshit, are you black american, because I know in my country people love to work, even had one guy who retired from road building at 65 and after 3 weeks went back to work because he was bored.

ah, damn, i m too late to the party :D deleting my answer now XD

I think he referring to deep mines or undersea mines that use robots that can withstand the high pressures and temps. Still should be worth noting that efficient design will negate quite a bit of demand since we could just reprocess our waste streams far better due to robotic sorting.

And then we have Peter Z predicting the end of everything because we run out of workers. So, it's a race... will we run out of workers or jobs first? Or, will it be more of what we have now... record numbers of unfilled job vacancies at the same time unemployment is going up? Probably, as things will happen so fast that skills-mismatch will dominate. But, desperate employers will retrain the people they need... until they don't. Bottom line, where I work, sop far we've lost more employees to the AI boom that we've lost job positions.

Not everyone is as fast to take hold of new tech as people like us. I know a lot of people who really don't know anything about this yet and have no idea the scope of things going on right now. They will in time.

Good point

Fascinating analysis

Nobody, none, nada, not a single source predicted that fashion models would be among the first to go. Obvious, when you think about it. If you can generate pictures of pretty people from a text prompt, why would you pay someone to smile and another to take their picture? Yet, nobody thought of it. Nobody. So yeah, why would we expect the next batch of predictions to be right?

But sometimes they are wrong in one direction and sometimes wrong in the other. “There won’t be powered, manned flying machines for a million years.” was made at the dawn of aviation. “There will be cities on the moon by 2000” was made after the first lunar landing.

UBI at least initially will be too little to live on, just enough to survive poorly ( like Soc Sec today...) so as to 'incent people' into any work at any wage...like twisting g wires for Elon at 5cents a dozen....

This is not a prediction but a reality in a lot of places (though we haven't seen mass suicides; instead we have gang wars/civil wars -- see Haiti, for example)

Just slowly expand Social Security and Medicare until you get to retirement age of 30. Use the cost of living function to reduce payments as things become cheaper

What gives you such confidence? As a human, when you speak, do you not speak each word sequentially? How is speech not a clear example of how human intelligence is just a probability string of words?

Maybe it is. Maybe that's all that's really going on. We don't have good models of how we actually think. Maybe we just got lucky and replicated it.

Listen to Ilya Sutskever on this. To predict the next word more and more accurately they are understanding more and more deeply...

@@xTheITx logic doesn’t work like these language models work. Not that I’ve seen so far. Then there is the issue that a lot of knowledge is not articulated. So it’s not expressed in language. But I guess a lot of people are content just guessing what the next word should be….
