Just asking questions and trying to get people's opinion |
The short version yes we're going to be fucked for a while. Our social safety systems don't scale well and will be overwhelmed by the exponential nature of AI growth. Most people just hunker down in their shelter and ignore the world around them, some even deny the butterfly effect that they don't understand.
Even industrialists like Musk acknowledged that without some systems like universal income the ripple effect of eliminating more of the middle class and the growing divide between the masses of poor and the few ultra wealthy will lead to constant military clashes and political instability. This is just the inevitable scenario that history documents well.
Ultimately it's a question of time. Will we adjust our ways in time to avert disaster and embrace this technology in ways that benefits our species, or will primal greed keep pushing us forward towards the abyss..
