The rat/mouse utopia is not counterintuitive at all. They overbred due to good food and no predators, but were not given extra space for the extra population. This created conflict and the development of ways to depopulate to offset the imbalance. This is basic evolution and ecology stuff.

[@augustaseptemberova5664]

exactly. nature/evolution has been around long enough to "know" that if there is a utopia (ie ideal conditions), it can only ever be temporary. species/populations who'd breed ad infinitum under ideal conditions, have a massive disadvantage when their utopia ends, as opposed to species who'd avoid overpopulation even in times of abundance.

At this point, we don’t even know if you can have AGI without consciousness. And we have no idea what consciousness is. My only prediction is that in 10 years we will look back at today’s AGI hype as pretty silly.

[@tealkerberus748]

Cities have always been population sinks. This isn't a new phenomenon, and it isn't about modern cities being so densely populated. It's simple economics - in the city, kids are expensive to raise, and they give nothing back economically until they're adults and typically moving to their own household. In rural areas in farms and villages, people who are growing at least some of their own food find it easy to grow a bit more to feed an extra child, so kids aren't as expensive to raise, and little children instinctively want to join in their parents growing food, especially simple small-scale stuff like looking after a vegetable garden and some hens. If you want to see a motivated worker, watch a three year old child picking caterpillars off the broccoli to feed them to her pet hen! Rural dwellers have always had more children, and city dwellers have always had fewer. We just didn't really notice until most of the world's population had moved into the cities. And the world is overpopulated anyway, so it's fine that with most of the world's population living in environments that promote smaller families, we're going to see gentle population reduction over the next few centuries. Negative feedback systems are a good thing. It's a pity we don't have more of them.
