I'd also add that different countries have different attitudes toward robots. japan has long been very pro-tech. you find all sorts of robots everywhere. the US has a more mixed attitude, with robots and ai also conjuring ideas of terminator etc. so cultural values will also influence adoption.

[@homeyworkey]

You should make a video on possible things which could slow down our progress on AGI, the % chance of it, and how much it would slow things down by. For example, if Taiwan gets invaded that will massively slow down our progress by a couple of years, I'm guessing. Another one is that if a solar flare hits us, that would take us back decades, and we're about to head into 2025 which has the highest solar flare activity from the sun, we've been hit by these before, and have had many near misses since our rise on technology, so it's definitely possible... I'm interested what other things I'm disregarding which could realistically happen. You always talk like AGI is a certainty but bringing up these topics would show another light on it

[@rrrndmg]

I saw a video on KZbin where one of the Silicon Valley venture investors claims that now, for example, US data centers consume 4% of the country’s electricity. And this is with the current energy costs for AI training and AI user computations. He also cites the expected computation increase by 10 to the 6th power in 10 years, according to the forecast of Andrej Karpathy from OpenAI, and he (investor, not Andrej :) ) estimates an increase in the required electricity by 20 times, for which there is no capacity, transport and storage, at the moment. In short, one of the bottlenecks may be the limitations of the physical capabilities of humanity to produce electricity (at least by currently known methods). Anyways I'm also extremely interested in other views on topic! Would be cool to have a video like this on David's channel.

Company A drops workers in favor of AI tools, so they pay less to their workers. So they make more money by selling more and paying less to their workers. Now, here's the kicker, so does company B. So does company C. So B is A's direct competitor, they are trying to out sell each other. They both pick up AI and drop workers. Now half of A and B's workforce would buy their own companies product. The other half would go to C. But now they don't have a job. So they cant buy A B or C. And company C follows the same structure, so now company C workers are not buying A, B, or C's product. So, who are A, B, and C going to sell to? Each other? No, because they want money, they don't want to spend money. And the less companies around, that inevitably have to close because of less people able to buy product, due to being fired over AI, will have no one to sell to, because no one has a job. So even if only company A is left standing who will they sell to, if B-Z companies all went out of business, and no one is working? This is not sustainable, but hey everyone love ai, right until they lose their job.

AI and quickly-advancing technology could cause deflation, as you've said. However, deflation is terrible for those who are in a lot debt but highly beneficial to those with a lot of money. When someone has a $300k mortgage but now their house is only worth $200k because houses in general are cheaper to build because of automation, what do they do? When the nominal GDP drops substantially because of said deflation and the federal government can no longer even afford the interest payments on its own debt due to substantially lower tax revenue, what are they to do? This seems like something that the government is going to have to address directly. I don't think these problems can just go away or solve themselves. I really don't care if the rich get richer. I just don't want the poor to get poorer. Also don't want the US government to collapse.

[@TravellingAllen]

AI-induced unemployment and its effect on the financial solvency of the Government is something I'm deeply concerned about as well. However, two things to take into consideration is that the US Federal Reserve has some powerful monetary tools to offset deflation, up to and even including printing money (ideally to fund UBI payments to help redistribute wealth and keep money circulating through the economy rather than accumulating with the rich). This would also need to be paired with heavy taxes on capital, especially an AI tax. Given that all the top players are US companies, it's feasible that the US government can put into place a tax regime that achieves this end. It's also not beyond the realm of reason that the government itself might even employ AI as a source of revenue. However, what is not apparent to me is how any other countries are going to get through this. Take Mexico for example. They won't be able to reap the AI dividend by taxing US tech companies. They also don't have the ability to print away the deflation like the US. However they will have to deal with massive unemployment, especially as a manufacturing and agricultural economy with a huge number of jobs in the crosshairs. If this isn't managed well, it could make the current border migrant crisis look like a walk in the park.

Here are some misconceptions: There is no going from pre-industrial age to the internet age. The insertion of more recent technology in a society where the basic infrastructure of society is still not yet built is actually WORSE than not inserting them. This happens because people are now completely dependent on these technologies and don't even have the basic culture, infraestructure or organized society to replicate and use them. Making them extremely vulnerable for monopolization. Much like China is doing with electrical components to the world. If they refuse to supply them with that, they are thrown back into pre-industrial age. Concrete, asphalt, chemical and energy industries require a much larger network of jobs and skills needed to be filled. This provides the stepping stone for further technology to exists. In fact, this dependency strategy is much like Neo-Colonialism. Developed nations use these technologies as a bargain to outsource risky and naturally impactful jobs such as mining, extraction etc. While they get the precious resources and charge a very large premium for the usage of that technology. It has been the case for many centuries.

[@neuralnetsart]

Communism seems to be one of those "be careful what you wish for", *monkey paw curls* type situations, at least with Mao and the melting down of farming equipment to meet iron production quotas and soviets making engines extremely heavy because production was measured by weight. There didn't seem to be malice behind the requests that were made, but capitalism just seems to work better. It's like the difference between a poorly coded robot interacting with the environment (communism) vs an organism that is adapted to the environment (capitalism). China realized this by implementing special economic zones that practice capitalism. They might end up with the best of both worlds if they can find the right balance. The downside of pure capitalism is mainly the amount of influence those with money have on the system, they can keep tipping the balance in their favor and capitalism rarely thinks 10 years ahead, to try and plan anything for decades seems impossible. Rarely do you have companies thinking outside of quarterly profits. The major envy I have of China is planning further into the future and the government is above the corporations. The authoritarian aspect of China is scary though, and I don't know enough about the checks and balances they have there to prevent a dictator from being malicious. But if you look at US politics, somehow it seems scarier to me.

[@wege8409]

I was thinking half of your talk, that you sound a little too much like ray dalio - then you drop his name & his china ideas :D Let me share my thoughts on this... Its a good theory and yes Mr. Dalio has shared some very good data supporting this idea, but if you study Dalios history you can see that he has some very high biases most likely. You also mention why I dont believe this will take place: its the same reason why udssr has failed - the system is simply not a good idea & flawed. I would be cautious with Dalios ideas although of course he has a point most likely.

Yeah, having finished his book I can say I was disappointed. Good ideas but had too narrow of a lens
