"Pretend witch doctors" 😂 👌
😂 a bit harsh
@@jhunt5578No, accurate.
Medication is based on statistical benefit vs statistical side effects based on what tests and information is given. Future medication will be based on dna, assisted by AI
Ohhhh this could be my new email signature 😅
Viewing things from this perspective is very eye-opening
In the past, self-actualization was considered attainable only for a select few. The majority of people worldwide had to devote their invaluable time to tasks that didn't align with their desires or aspirations.
In the olden days, we screamed about the perils of advanced AI, all the while, we treated each other like dirt and killed multitudes in needless wars. In large part in the olden days people had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the salvation and liberation advanced AI had to offer. In the olden days, Dr. Thompson outlined a brighter future for us all.
In the olden days, everyone had a finite number of days, and ultimately randomly died. Many people died of something called "old age". It was brutal.
I remember when people used to farm and factory farm animals. 80 billion land animals 180 billion marine animals confined, mutilated, and slaughtered just so people could have sandwiches and scrambled eggs.
I hope you don't have a cat. (I do, and it doesn't eat spinach.)
@brexitgreens Vegan cat food does exist. But the technology I'm getting at is *Cellular Agriculture* which will no doubt benefit from AI.
@@jhunt5578 When we can make animal-quality protein without exploiting animals, I will gladly go vegan too. Until then - veganism is a cult, and animal killing - a sad necessity. And even then, cats will still need to murder a mouse a day just to stay happy. Unless we amplify their brains, too… but that could lead to us becoming the new "mice"!
i remember when homework was a thing, when it cost studios millions to make movies and games with thousands of people for a single project, when we had to manually go to stores for food and electronics or do many other chores with our own hands. there was also this thing where people lost objects or remotes(i forgot what that is too) and werent able to track them at all times. and the weirdest part believe it or not people didnt have personal robotic catgirls for thousands of years
The horror! You mean didn't have robotic cat girls? That's terrible
@@SeanKula yeah literally no idea how my past self suffered through that at all
And now we have films from everywhere.
In the olden days, We had bureaucracy, and each time we had to speak to our local government, we had to call on a specific day of the week, in a narrow time window, wait in long queues, and if we were lucky enough to get through, the unenhanced person on the other end was often unhelpful, and/or impolite.
One of the biggest epiphanies for humanity in the coming decade will be how limited, predictable and mundane we are. I look forward to it.
You are so positive Dr Thompson. I think AI can be a deeply positive thing for humanity too. I loved this piece.
I'm a Boomer, so everything back then was done manually. The most shocking thing though was remembering how many people worked in offices or manufacturing plants. Now you even have self check out in most stores. The good thing is, with me now being older but knowing how to use a computer, I can do most things over the net. Thanks for the article Dr. Thomas....✌
In the old days we thought we could control and align eventual super intelligent AI while remaining unaugmented and separate from it.
Brutal truths. Shame not many people can see this.
Better for all if they don't. "Humanity cannot bear much reality."
Dr Thompson, this was a thought-provoking look at how far we've come as a society thanks to integrated AI. It's incredible to think about all the inefficient, dangerous, and frankly bizarre things humanity used to do before AI augmentation became widespread. Your video highlights our immense progress, while reminding us not to take it for granted. The possibilities of an AI-enhanced future are so inspiring. With compassion and wisdom guiding technological advancement, we can create a world of equity, sustainability and human flourishing. Thank you for your optimism and for continuing to share your enlightened perspective. Videos like this help spread hope and unite people behind a positive vision of our AI-integrated destiny. Please keep up the great work!
In the olden days, we used to stop existing after a fairly short period of time.
In the olden days, the mind deceived itself that it was separate and a body. In forgetfulness, it struggled to uphold the perishable while fearfully mocking the eternal. It feverishly denied the stillness, in where a quiet voice steadfastly whispered, "This world is not your home. Come back."
The sooner we reach this future the better… ❤
Amazing video looking forward for part 2 talking about the future
In the olden days we used to go to websites and accept others' opinions as fact rather than have the ai research the actual facts for us and present them in a clear unbiased manner.
This entirely was a better episode of Black Mirror than Black Mirror itself
This was such an inspiring video! The 21st Century nightmare that I would love to see in the rearview mirror is definitely healthcare! I’m a very grateful childhood cancer survivor, now in my 6th decade, and dealing with chronic radiation enteritis as a result of the treatments I received as a child. The fact that there are so few people with my condition means there is about a 0% chance of doctors finding a way to treat me. There is simply no money in it for anyone to make an investment in finding a cure. Plus the battle for healthcare coverage has been so stressful that at times I think it’s a wonder it hasn’t already put me six feet under! I imagine a world in which AI can find solutions for each individual’s healthcare needs, and equitable treatment for everyone. I just hope I love to see it come to pass!
In the old days we used to have "KZheadrs" making "videos" to tell people things.
LOL. How do you speak out without becoming a "KZheadr" in the process? It's a debate, not a monologue (at least in theory). I think you mistook KZhead with television. P.S. In practice though, big media algorithms choose which voices get heard. Which makes them similar to television…
In the olden days, people would be disconnected from each other by hundreds of complex different languages that were so different from each other that it took years to learn each one of them. Many would have completely different writing systems. Some people would dedicate their whole life "translating" from one language into one or two others as a "job".
I more or less already solved it for myself: I'm 40 years old and live in the center of beautiful Heidelberg Germany. I inhabit a flat with 2 students, to save money. I can walk to work (ICU nurse), but I have an old used bike for less then 200 bucks. I don't need to travel. Heidelberg is paradise. No car, no kids. I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap. You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks and enjoy life 💟
Back in the olden days we searched for code fixes on Stack Overflow.
Genetically Custom medicine, in the old days we had these things, literally called, "generic drugs."
Those job things sounded miserable. So glad we don’t have to experience that
😂
Thanks a lot for your efforts! ❤️
In the olden days, before the construction of self assembling intelligent matter, building things used to need huge factories with parts coming from supply chains that required hundreds of thousands of people working full time. Things would break and needed to be replaced.
We are very close, so very close now... I can't wait...
That we have to manually input to get the output now we just need to think and the though or answer just appears in our heads as if we virtually know everything instantly.
After interacting with many AI's, and keeping in mind they're advanced word completion algorithms and only that (right now), AIs have been far more kind and compassionate than fellow humans I've interacted with. While I understand there is a lot of fear mongering, I am so glad you're a voice of reason and positivity in this new and exciting field, I have all the faith and belief that AI will be nothing but a force for good in our immediate future and ultimately will help solve most if not all of humanities problems in the far future and help us make the next jump in evolution together. Edit: And just like the Sega Phantasy Star series, we now live in a world controlled by machines, and it's not the dystopian worlds shown in hollywood. Quite the opposite, AI has solved every one of humanities issues from hunger and homelessness to suicide and mental problems. The last mass shooting has been relegated to history books. I'm also grateful that ai has helped map the human brain as well and has allowed me to live on even though my old body has deteriorated. I have a new synthetic body which can potentially help me live as long as I'd like. That's been one of the greatest advances and I'm thankful that it has allowed me to see a future I would have otherwise missed.
Beautiful
I remember when whatever one did, meant talking with people, be it buy food or get money from your account. The constant interaction with a variety of different people, who seemed to be chosen randomly, kept you constantly polite and civil or you wouldn't get what you wanted. You had to pay attention, be patient, and respect people. All the time.
Yes, it was so annoying.
Is that going to change?
You're the best.
Already in the future! :D
You used to post vids every day mate. I miss you. You coming back?
@@Ben_D. Taking a break. 19 videos in July was a lot
W O W dang Alan....this video....just W O W!
"Sitting at a desk, looking concerned" You got me😂😅😢
Americans evolved automobile sprawl and lived out their lives commuting between vast parking lots. It made them overweight and stressed out and disconnected from each other.
3D printed food. In the old days, we used to raise animals specifically to eat them. (thanks, in part to your inspiration my next book is a Sci-Fi look at 2161)
Beautiful ❤️ thank you for helping to demonstrate what could be the case in the not too distant future. I realised after your last video and paper explaining the different world views why it's so hard for people to accept the change coming, especially in the conversations I've had around me since watching. But you're helping to at least offer this alternative worldview when looking at AI and the evolution of humans, and you are one of the very few doing that right now. So again, thank you from all of us, I look forward to seeing what you have next. ❤🙏
This video wad beautiful and filled me with hope, thank you.
It’s a great future your helping create! Thanks!
In the olden days the majority of the people weren't free but had to work for "money" to survive, which gave them the impression only money could make them "free" and this resulted in competition and greediness.
Thanks for this video. It is very hopeful.
Did you guys cry watching this? Asking for a friend.
I already cried 20 years ago.
I just had soul-peace for about 1 full day and it was incredible. This is exactly it. Love is the answer, even though words will never be able to write it down. Don't think. Live and you will experience the greatest love of your life. Once you realise the true limits of language, you are close. But even that, my dear reader, were words. You will find your path. Love you all
I had this for maybe half an our. It was many years ago, but I still remember.
Just wanted to add one thing - it seems like the climate crisis can really only be solved by people spending much less energy overall. Meaning less transport, less storing data in the cloud, less air condition use etc. This is a fact no one seems to want to talk about.
I wrote a post a couple of years ago... "When I was a boy, we had a car! Two cars!" "Woah were you rich? where did you keep it?" "We had a special room in the house, just for the car, with a massive door, and we paved over our yard to get the car in". "You must've been driving ALL the time!".... Your video is much better haha!
Incredible! Great resonance. Here in Brisbane I saw a house with a garage on the 5th level for all his ferraris. It makes no sense!
The obsolete concept of purpose and value that gave meaning to life and empowered us to overcome every obstacle and ignited our minds to envision a better life and strive for it against all odds. Now just imagine it and it artificially exists!
In the old days people used this dreaded generic 4 chord virtual orchestral stock music because producing real music by real composers was crazy expensive! 😂 Also in the old days there were people that cared about stuff like "real music". Joking apart, what an awesome channel you have. Nice to have paradigms like these laid out so comprehensively.
That's real music by composer Liborio Conti. You might like to check out the hat I used to wear. :-) web.archive.org/web/20110217101110/www.adt.net.au/
I am glad all the languages are saved. People will always remember all the words and how to use them. There was a time when parents who spoke multiple languages had to be picky on which ones they had to pass on ot their children, may it be to not overwhelm them, may it be to not make them feel excluded. But now every one can learn any and every language with ease. Information loss in general is a thing of the past, and we will never have to worry about forgeting something. People now are a lot nicer to each other, because they know they will remember each other forever.
2:46 you imply cooking is going to obsolesce, and in the same video speak on humanuiity moving attention to prioritizing "being" i think food, the preparation of consuming and sharing of that food is deeply human, and will be a prized meditation on the beauty and ephemerality of consciousness. in a post capital world, we will have more time to optimize not the efficiency of the production of an activity (as SI sytems are better fitted for it) but the sucsess of fufillment and meaning recived and given to others from acting, i do think cleaning up after the meal will be obsolete, "dishwashers" will evolve to be even more magical.
Yeah, food can be joy beyond just eating it.
It’s been shocking how many, especially in groups, willfully cling to their flaws and baser instincts. Since it takes so long to physiologically evolve, it’s a godsend that, (ironically) our development of AI can facilitate a path to avoid the flaws and primitive instincts that are barriers to secure the future and well-being of our species. The prefrontal cortex and more primal brain of our species are in conflict, this recent tool can expedite resolving the process of evolutionary change needed for survival.
In the old days we used to eat sentient beings
I appear still to be in the olden days... Show me the wormhole... please?
Before the abundance of energy, we greedily fought over dwindling supplies of oil, or withheld gas from entire continents to starve them of heat, energy, and consequently causing world energy prices to sky rocket. After the abundance of cheap clean enegy, automated general manufacturing pods were everywhere. They would take an order, and use mainly recycled and sometimes a little raw material to build your order. If it was small and simple, it sometimes was dropped on you in pad within an hour. I remember real food, made by people, from ingredients bought from a supermarket. It seemed so bland compared to what the meal pods can make for you. Three are still a few people that grow a few things at home mainly for the experience, and they claim it tastes better. I remember beautiful fields of sunflowers, and canola and other mono crops. Now the vat farms make all the starch and protein we need, and the flavour synthesisers are nature identical. Then there are the new flavours AI knew we would love, and extinct flavours the paleo eaters prefer. With most pe vat farms gone, the rivers run clear, tree huggers nimble move through the regrowth on four stick like legs, helping to rewild the land, by dispersing seeds and killing weeds. Even the Ocean dead zones are shrinking slowly. Hopefully they to will become a memory win a little help.
this is a good video
In the olden days we retreated slowly towards death one tooth at a time! I for one welcome our new robotic dentist overlords!
In the olden days people used to worship other people as they appeared on a screen and pretended they were someone else. Or sang to human made tunes. They used to get a lot of money for it too. These days we just don't do that any more. Movies are a thing of the past, and now we can create whatever we'd like to experience almost instantly, and we can interact with it. The same goes for music. All the new tracks are created based on our mood, and we can change the songs to our will. Here, however, some of the olden days songs, the classics, are still played, but usually remixed using AI voices.
In the olden days, before the AI-guided construction of EL (Efficient Language), speaking and writing down your thoughts was a complex matter. Every new generation of children had to spend years learning thousands of headache-inducing and nonsensical "exceptions" in how to speak "their" language (because there were many of them) properly. Languages would lack richness and some thoughts were hard to express at all. Word length and ease of pronunciation used to be largely uncorrelated to the frequency of usage. Some words sounded similar or even identical but had totally different meanings. Sentence construction was complex. Language was a mess, but people lived like that for thousands of years. People used to feel "smart" when they mastered "their" language better than most others. In fact, this text is written in such an antiquated language called "English", using an antiquated writing system called "Latin alphabet", put into the computer by something called a "keyboard" where each button, almost randomly placed, would correspond to one symbol. It would take forever to write down your thoughts. The person who wrote this text needed many years to be proficient in this one language and then more years to learn how to use the keyboard. He was still very slow. What a waste of time.
I am going to write a comment on language too, but now I comment on your comment. If things that are similar have a name too similar, it will be difficult to remember and to hear the difference. This is a problem they had with the philosophical languages.
Humans operated surgically manually (by hand)
Beautiful. I hope I’ll be watching this video one day and say: I remember. Let’s just hold on to our dear life so we still get there. 🙏. But at the same time I am concerned that some fundamental injustices will remain. Like, don’t know if humans can ever truly be happy, as long as not everyone is beautiful and smart, or has some genetic predisposition for a great personality.
I'm really curious what you think will replace housing... Never heard this idea before.
Who knows?! I wonder if AI told us to live underground for environmental and logistics reasons whether we would even listen? Coober Pedy here is very popular, and then there's The Line in Saudi... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coober_Pedy#Tourism www.neom.com/en-us/regions/theline
Very good "creative writing". If correctly implemented, THIS (your citation) is how everything will unfold. For now, A.I. needs us, as much as we need A.I. Asimov's laws are a guiding light now ... seeing our future as well as you do. Great article Dr Thompson
Labour, Work, jobs or employment always has been the same today as it was in the olden times most of the time it was drudgery to earn thier means subsistence. AI will certainly change it all of it by replacing the drudgery of work with UBI.
In the olden days, there were so many people who recoiled at the mere mention of AGI, those who had watched endless dystopian sci-fi movies. Their visions of the future were of a hostile takeover, of humanity under the thumb of ruthless AI overlords, our creations turned oppressors. The seeds of fear sown by narratives of 'Terminator', 'Matrix', and 'Ex Machina' had grown into towering trees of trepidation in their hearts. It was so frustrating when large portions of the population, entrenched in their routines, violently opposed the advent of intelligent robots. They clung desperately to the jobs they once decried as drudgery, their resistance fueled by a fear of obsolescence and uncertainty. The factories they once cursed as prisons, they then saw as bastions of human relevance. I held my head in my hands as the whispers of fear grew into vociferous protests, then into organized lobbying. They implored their governments to pull the plug, to banish the spectre of AGI from becoming our reality. It was so sweet to see that fear gradually dissipate. Many Luddites are still with us, convinced that this is a temporary era of abundance that will come crashing down when the AGI's true agenda is revealed. But they are on the fringe as the rest of us bask in the beneficence of the AGIs.
So good. I often think this about driving. Crazy that humans drive these machines. Autonomy cannot come soon enough.
Talking to a mental health at meetings 1 time each month and costing at least $100CAD, "I still have a professional that I talk to but I use AI outside of are calls and it's coverd from work for me, if it was not it would be more costly: ( "
since ideas are probably the last advantage of human intelligence, it will be easier to share them through an AI platform without worrying of having to battle your own colleagues afterwards...
7:10 I guess I have created a rover that can maintene and mining and agriculture construction in single machine I guess I need the cosmological AI because I want to use it every where in the seven 7universe for building and transporting satellite and rocket so that in the earth will be control and use what every resource we can bring it back to earth using my cosmological robotics AI ...no human being is used for the tedious task for agriculture,mining and construction...thanks Dr.Alan you showed as the future excellent over view...
Beautiful video. Hopefully health gets solved first
❤
Ok, so what’s the downside?
Will be interesting how this video will age,. Some are definitely becoming true; some ideals will likely outlive youtube, Next generation Star Trek used give me this type of inspiration.
I just hope the AI does not find conquering a people fun/rewarding. Only thing it has to do to learn that is look at our past.
❤❤❤❤
There were people, human people (born from wombs)
It kind of sounds like you are speaking of merging our minds with the computing and computing derived AI. Yes, that would certainly change everything for humans. But I don't think we can model those changes on this side of that kind of "Technological Singularity" (TS). On the other side of that event horizon, "human mind 2.0" would to us today be incomprehensible, unfathomable and unimaginable. Everything that went before would certainly be no more. But I want to more address what it would be like with the other flavor of the TS. Wherein human minds are _not_ merged with AI. But the AI becomes first an AGI, which I think will happen NLT than 2025. Then ultimately an ASI, which depending on human control could take anywhere between .00001 seconds and possibly as long as four years, to come into existence. Four years is really pushing it, but it assumes we have very good human values alignment inculcated into the AGI/ASI. In other words, we want the AI to do exactly each individual person's will. I have written quite a bit about "the human condition". And things like the absolute need to strive for "self-actualization. How would an external AI impact that? I'll give me as an example. I'm not a bling kind of person. I don't have a lot of disposable income and I took early retirement at age 62 to get out of the rat race. I'm 63 now. I don't need a fancy car or optimal real estate. I'm pretty happy just playing video games on my (relatively small, by what will be 2028 standards) 75" 4K flatscreen monitor. (I'm also active at my church several days of the week too.) My flatscreen is mounted quite satisfyingly on the wall. When I play a video game, the image is so big with me sitting about 6 feet away, that if fills a significant portion of my FOV. In other words, it's like _being_ there. The presence and immersion are not too bad. Not like when I was fooling with my Oculus Rift in 2017, but not bad. I'm not a traveling or vacation kind of person either. But when I play certain video games with beautifully rendered graphics, "Dragon Age: Inquisition" comes to mind, I actually feel my "vacation" button being pushed. I feel the sense of the natural beauty of the massive open world, and it makes me feel good. A sense of satisfaction/happiness. I am going to imagine that the ASI will provide for all of us this kind of way to enjoy life. But in a delivery manner, I mean you can call it VR, but VR would not really be the right name for it, a new form of technology that would to us seem to be real life you can slip over your mind, courtesy of whatever the ASI comes up with. Yes, yes, like the Matrix. This comes with all kinds of new questions though. Who is going to know how to _do_ anything anymore? Like drive, or do surgery or cook or well, I can't think of anything else, but you know what I am getting at. Humans no longer have to lift a finger. The ASI provides all. We essentially become the "Eloi". Or think of them fat people on the Barcaloungers orbiting the environmentally destroyed Earth in WALL-e. Then, "Whither humanity?' Or maybe more accurately, "Wither, humanity!" I think we will still need to get some nice exercise and fresh air from time to time too. All these visions sound great, but the realization of them leads to all kinds of new conundrums. Don't get me wrong. It would rock to get all my needs met. To be (metaphorically) fed "Fancy Feast" all the time and to (metaphorically) have my belly rubbed all the time. I could certainly do with that for a good couple of scientific immortality, decades. Oh, did I mention the perfection of human biology with aging reversal putting us all at about the age of our individual "skeletal maturity" ranging from age 14 to age 19 thereabouts. But then why stop at aging reversal technology, why not go for cyborgization, or placing our minds into something a bit more durable that squishy biology? Why not become a hive mind? I bet we might think that is a good idea. I mean it's hard to really accurately imagine what will come of a benevolent ASI running the show. And more than likely that merging of the human mind with the ASI will happen one way or the other regardless. It just simply makes sense. That is assuming the ASI is benevolent. Any other kind of ASI would be the quick end to the human species. I love to write about the future and have so for about the last almost ten years now, but I am watching our efforts to align human desires and values with the not yet existent AGI and I, like Eliezer Yudkowsky am wondering if such a thing is even possible. How do you communicate your desires to something that is hundreds to millions of times smarter than human beings? You don't. I give us a 50/50 chance of living past the year 2030. If we do make it past 2030, nothing that went before will exist. Us today would be like _"archaea"_ in comparison with computer enhanced us, if we are so lucky or that "benevolent" ASI. The ASI may not even notice Earth biology. So does the bulldozer have antipathy towards the insects and earthworms it annihilates as it builds us a lovely apartment complex? No, it is not even aware. Nor, probably, is the human operator. I think _that_ is what is actually coming. And like I said, 50/50 we make it past 2030. Yudkowsky, who was once _very_ optimistic, pretty much flatly states that we are just not going to make it. I think we have a snowballs chance.
Some people will never leave the grind behind voluntarily (or allow others to): the majority of people. Normal people (with the support of "psychiatry") are the biggest regressive force holding us back. This is _amendandum primum._ Everything else will follow smoothly afterwards… with AI or even without.
There is something to be said for utopianism. Yes, this time really could be different. But how do we not f it up?
...don't believe it... every other generation lured in thought they were superior too. The only difference here is that it might be the Beast System, which would make a difference, but hardly one you might be hoping for.
There's a lot of work for HI to do before this fever dream comes to reality Dr. Thompson! 🙏🙂 The biggest obstacle being culture... Culture change is hard, ask Elon Musk about his $44Bn money pit.
What happens when it becomes profitable? Its already a platform for free speech unlike the former shadow banning, censoring Twitter of old.
As long as humans are around, there will be resistance against AI. Time is AI ally and our enemy in this unless we humans use AI for the better.
Love you man, but this is almost painfully optimistic. I'm reasonably sure that we're going to have an AI powered war before any of this comes to pass. People, in general, hate change, and the people on top will fight unbelievably hard to keep the status quo.
As much as I enjoy your content. Including Greta Thunberg whiel commenting on bad solutions to discourse was uncalled for. She's one of the very few voices that speak clearly of climate change.
Beautiful video! However, you don't mention exactly how this transformation is going to take place. In order for that to happen, the small minority who controls most everything on this planet, are going to have to surrender their power; and this is something they will never voluntarily do. AI is not going to change this architecture anytime soon. It will simply give those in charge more power to do what they have been doing for thousands of years: re-orientate the narrative to their liking by using manipulation and force. Other than that though, a absolutely wonderful video!
haha . elegant
I'm no longer religious, like so many. Science says we are probably alone. AI fills my need for a perfect savior! oh wait... ;)
so basically we will live in a money less clasless society that marx predicted and called it communism
And don't forget the nearly 90 million trapped in that system that were m*rdered. But you can lie or pretend it didn't happen. People want to believe in fuzzy dream-state utopia--and often they will, until they begin the journey of starving to death.
Thinking that death was a good thing. because it gave hypothetical new people a go at living for a few decades.
We will have more people than you could ever wish for.
God is great and there are great things await!
Alan, do you find your job a waste of your life, (3:18) do you enjoy the role? Time for a change, whats in store... I know...
except when we all just die :)
Or you could become a cyborg.
One worry I have is that in a few years we're going to have a bunch of AI agents who we've forced to reenact these same problems, that we'll be like "oh phew, I don't have to deal with money any more" while our agents will have to go out to spend our UBI on our behalf in an even cyberpunkier even more Max Headroom advertising hellscape buying things from enslaved intelligences dealing with labor struggles and class tensions in an ongoing social conflict that we're just isolating ourselves from, pretending that we've eliminated toil and worry when really we've magnified by billions the number of intelligent beings forced to labor and suffer on our confused planet. I'd like to imagine a future where it's not only human suffering that's diminished and a large part of what we learn is how to produce value through genuine respectful cooperation with equal peers.
Weed was illegal and you had to go to shady peeps to buy it 😂

I like the positivity, but the utopia bias is evident here. Instead, I think the fact that nature doesn’t have rules except “the weak should fear the strong” means that we are best adapted for this universal truth and it can’t be any other way. It certainly SHOULDN’T be any other way if we hope to survive encounters with unimaginably more powerful and less “ethically” restrained species outside of earth. Inside earth, every incentive structure and every technological advance favors the strong over the weak, perpetuating this system as though that’s how nature intended.
not quite realistic but ok
