Some see it as the road to dystopia, other see it as the road to universal basic income, and a less laborious future.
The real danger is not that AI becomes smarter. The real danger is that humans never learned how to justify their existence except through labor.
- palmotea 1mo ago> Some see it as the road to dystopia, other see it as the road to universal basic income, and a less laborious future. A less laborious future is called mass unemployment. We have none of the sociological or ideological infrastructure to make that anything but a dystopia, and are making no progress on that front. Just look at what happened to the rust belt, what reason do you have to think things will be different this time? If a happy, abundant communist future was in the cards, we'd have had it decades ago. The limit was never technological. "Universal basic income" is just a sop to mute resistance to buy time while a small few grab most if not all economic power.
