Suppose A.I. leads to the BEST outcome - Utopia - No work. Longevity. And Abundance. What next?

[duncanthetall]

The only way that utopia would exist is if the vast majority of people are eliminated from the face of the planet.

Reminds me of a fantastic book, The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman. It’s a story about a Time Machine that is created where every time the button is pressed it jumps forward at a rate of I think around 10x more than the previous one. First time it’s pressed it disappears for a few seconds. Next time a few minutes, then days, etc. After landing in increasingly further futures, including one where “Jesus” had returned and the country is a Christian theocracy, they land in one of these utopias you mention a few thousand years in the future where the majority of the west coast is ran completely by an AI known as LA. Nobody works, everyone is rich and happy, and everyone is bored. Great fukking book though.

More free time means more fighting and more desperation.

Look at the pandemic: people (we all know who) legit had a problem when people were wfh, spending more time with their families and not having to deal with a commute.

Now people going to be able to stay home as machines would be able to do the work and we can hang out because UBI is a thing?!

Those same people would absolutely have none of that!

I said it earlier, best field to get into would be healthcare if A.I takes over like that.
Nurses and doctors would be the last thing people want A.I to touch and takeover.

20 years from now humans have aligned A.I. so that it serves out best interest. We have used AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) to cure most diseases and slow down aging. Discovered new energy sources and/or have learn to scale nuclear fusion so that it is our primary source of energy. We have discovered ways to mitigate global warming and have prevented the worse consequences of it. Most uf not all manmade ecological issues are being addressed and solved. The need for most human labor has pretty much diminished. We're given enough UBI to live very comfortable and live lives of leisure.

What will be your life purpose? How will you spend your days?

In a post material scarcity society - there would still be immaterial scarcity. Largely well fed, housed, secured, clothed, and medicated Americans are still motivated by "likes, hearts, subscribers, followers, etc"

That said, catch your boy with a gang of fruit trees, nice little gardlen, cooking every day and writing fiction.

But how will we socialize our youth and diffuse our beliefs onto the rest of the world? A big part of the American appeal is selling our American dream to the rest of the world.

I think maybe it would benefit mental health for everybody, For some people the live to work and they whole identity is based on “working”

people could really explore themselves, take chances

Maybe this is the next step in human evolution

They’ll reduce the global population before that happens.
People need to be spread out and away from each other when this happens because idle people stacked atop each other will eventually attack each other.


That’s

 

[TheGreatMTB]

human nature would mean we'd find some way to compete and compare ourselves against each other. Whether it be talent or beauty or something. The definition of leisure would change.

 

[Will Ross]

its going to destroy us.

I don’t think depopulation is ideal for human civilization

 

[Save $ not Hoes]

I watched that AI video a breh posted a thread about on here. That shyt is the fukking devil real talk, ain’t no need for AI after watching that.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

CACs would fight AI. CACs can’t survive in an equal playing field. They only feel secure when someone is on the bottom. They would blow this shyt up before that happens.

how many times did john connor fail..

they had to hand the shyt off to a mexican chick

When “they” decide they don’t want 8 billion on the planet… they will.
