It becomes a post currency world. Investors and brokers use money to fund/buy shares/royalties/bonds. Businesses make products and offer services, in exchange for money. Contractors and employees offer their labor/skills in exchange for money. All the money transactions generate tax revenue/interest/ROI. So if products are made for nothing. You can't compete with labor worth nothing. Then there is no profit. There is no roi for investors. There are no taxes on zero income. There is no reason to lend money, there is no interest or debt repayment. Earning money ceases to exist. Currency/money only existed for a small fraction of human activities. It won't be that bad. Prior to that it was scarcity based on priceless, near limitless needs for skills and labor. AI does not only benefit corporations. This isn't kings,pharaohs and czars age anymore. They had free labor back then through slaves and they wasted Soo much skilled labor on building religious monuments that provided absolutely nothing except a tourist trap. You are surrounded by products and services that improved your life produced by economic activity. There is no reason to think this won't continue despite the economic activity no longer being driven by/limited by currency.

[@Notifest]

A flaw often seen in the “AI will never empathize as a human” argument is that is assuming or simplifying to “humans always empathize” and is not true. A human can easily give 0 fks about other human problems, and a human most likely not align 100% to other humans goals.

I find it so damn predictable, that she, a wealthy person who no doubt has plenty of shares in companies being invested in that are part of this AI revolution, that she finds it convenient to just assume that a UBI will be distributed, thus choosing to just ponder "meaning of life" questions about having so much time on her hands for yoga, hiking, reading, dodging homeless people, etc. The predominant economic philosophy of AI revolutionaries especially in the large corporations and startups (open source advocates or not) is a combination of libertarianism and neoliberalism, thus the chances that they will be distributing themselves from their profits a sufficient UBI, or that they will lobby Congress in the US for the passage of a UBI where they are taxed to pay for it, is almost zero. If some UBI indeed is somehow implemented, the chances that it will be sufficient (whether you are in a large city or rural town) to pay for housing, food, healthcare, dental care, utilities, transportation, etc etc etc is also almost zero. The existing safety net in the US will of course loose funding because fewer people will be paying taxes on wages, so Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, all of it will collapse. Those of you who think that would be a good thing? Well if you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and your parents aren't wealthy enough to already have a solid retirement where they don't need those benefits to stay independent in their late 60s, 70s, and 80s, well you better start making plans to provide them with housing, healthcare, food, etc etc etc. ( in other words, their needs will be taxing your income at a much higher amount than whatever you would have paid into the system) You think the homeless problem in the US is bad now? Check back in a few years. Think it can't happen to you because you pay for some AI preparedness course? Uh, okay, sure become a prompt engineer! Oh, wait, AI systems will be writing the best prompts, never mind. I'll become an AI entrepreneur!! Oh wait, the large AI corporations came out with another model that destroys the business model where we were the needed service provider. It will be a very long list of disappearing opportunity. But hey, if you have a very large bank account, it might take a few years for it to affect you, or you might end up being in the top 1% looking down on everyone else dealing with some dystopian hell of societal breakdown. Then of course those at the top will utilize AI systems, robotic systems, mass surveillance (mostly already in place) to try to control the desperate masses. Authoritarianism will rise all across the globe, and especially in the US to counter that little problem. Good luck to most people who are going to really need it.

Calories are so cheap that many parts of the world have an obesity epidemic.1/3 of food produced is thrown away, this amounts to over 1T USD a year. Housing is cheap. What isn't cheap is boomer zoning laws that need to go. Most people are location bound due to ridiculous mandates of work in office vs work from home. We already have working models to 3D print housing. They can be seen on KZbin. What I'm trying to figure out is how the "elites" will keep their wealth.

All traditional wisdom goes out the window in a singularity and the laws of every domain from brushing your teeth to global finance cannot be calculated based on equations that made sense from outside of the event horizon. I think it's fair to say that in this case, nobody "knows" what is coming over this particular horizon or has the relevant experience to predict what will happen because such a level of mass disruption at every scale has never happened. Ergo, being young isn't a detractor, it might even be a benefit.

[@kamu747]

@@dannii_L Understood. The main takeaway, nobody knows. Young is a good thing, but it really does factor in when you account for global change. There is an Icarus effect st play, its wanting of big picture thinking. I'm an AI optimist, i say that to clue in that I love the field, i dig deep into it, and I believe in the seismic change. However, I don't believe the singularity will occur within 5 years. AGI isn't the singularity. The Singulairty requires a unification of adoption across the board. It will not happen at once. It'll be gradual, fast, but gradual marked with upheaval and friction. It won't be smooth. That much I can see. Change is never harmonious in the beginning. I've noticed that a lot of computer scientists and those working in the field in developed countries neglect to consider geo-political dynamics. The West is leading this race. As such, AGI is primarily an innovation to benefit Western Intrerests. You see this with sanctions and exclusions of countries like China from fully benefiting access of AI technology, chips and innovations, alot of the AI tools are also geo fenced and aren't accessible to many countries in the world. I could go deep into this, but I don't want to burden you with an essay to rival a textbook. My point is that someone will have to manage the great change, a change that'll take years, management requires workers, more likely than not, those at the forefront of these innovations will have to participate in the administration of the paradigm shift they helped create.

She asks the readers to grant her the assumption: "Assume there will be a UBI or something like it" (paraphrased). She then goes on to pose the question: "can people be happy and find meaning in a post scarcity world the requirement of work/enforced labour." I don't think there's anything wrong with her being optimistic in her outlook, given the assumption she's asked us to grant her. If she were to write an essay on how we get from here to there, you might find she isn't so optimistic. idk maybe I'm missing some of the key details that highlight this youthfully unreasonable optimism you refer to because I only got the cliff notes from this video, rather than reading the entire essay - but that was what I heard (iirc). re: China, I have no issues with the restrictions of this technology to the CCP. I don't trust any government that is morally and ethically bankrupt enough to run it's country and treat its people the way China does, where it cares more about propagandising to its people that it's taking care of them than actually taking care of them. I don't trust any country run under absolute ideology, cronyism and corruption. I care about what happens to the 1.3B people who might end up stuck inside of a real life 1984 scenario who's oppression and options to get out of it will only get progressively worse with increasingly powerful AI in the hands of the CCP. I want them to have access to it - in the end - because their people deserve it - everybody does - and I would hope that even the CCP will be able to see that giving its citizens everything they want post-scarcity = power and control over them indirectly. Hopefully that vision will be guaranteed once we get our sh*t sorted in the west and can hand them post-scarcity on a platter. And the above wouldn't really matter as much, because eventually we would reach post scarcity and they would see it anyway, but it's about the possibility of war that might come in between. I don't want them to have an equal hand if this comes to war. I don't trust their ability to wage war with any kind of discrimination given their human rights violations, and I want them to be deterred as much as possible from aggressing on us or any of their near neighbours. Of course, all of the above is based on this being what I think is the most likely goal forward for the least probable amount of suffering for all parties involved, globally. TBH I hadn't thought much about it until you said something, so I probably need to think a little deeper on the matter later.

Check your facts. The person behind the article has no tech background, so it not an AI expert in the technical sense. Her background is in philosophy. And she is Chief of Staff at Antrophic. Just because work at an AI company, that does not make you an AI expert right away. I read her articles. She is not educated to judge the advancement of AI on a technical level. If she would have enough technical knowledge, she would know that LLMs are basically just predicting the next word. No matter how much text and CPU you give, this fact will not change. And if you believe by simply predicting words, you are able to recreate reliable cognitive abilities, you are mistaken. The way she talks about hallucinations shows that she is not aware of how flawed AI still is. And not flawed due to the data or CPU, but due the fact of how LLMs work. Everything that is corrected know is through human guardrails.

What the f is the point of your comment? She states in the article that she thinks we will have this future, but can't know for sure, obviously. Then proceeds to say that she will write about how people will FEEL, IF and when no one can work anymore, from a philosophical point of view. On your other remark. Are YOU aware of how an LLM works? Cause you seem like you don't. What do you as a human do when talking? You're predicting what's the best word that comes next after what you've already said, should be. That is literally what you're doing. Oh.. I left something out? Before predicting I use my brain to "think", "reason" ? So then why did you leave out what an LLM, or any AI, does before, or even, while it predicts? The AI "blackbox". conceptually, is not that different from our brain "blackbox". Our brain is still very much a black box, we barely know a few things about how it works. You're doubting an AI's ability to think, but can you prove a human's ability to think? How does it do that? What process specifically happens for it to reason and think? Spoiler, you can't because we don't know exactly how. An AI, in training, tries to mold its' black box into whatever is needed for the output to be what an intelligent being would say. Who are we to say that eventually, with the right architecture it won't mold into the equivalent of a brain? Please answer accordingly, not with "you're mistaken because I say so". And don't stretch it out to philosophical jumble about consciousness and so on cause we have no idea what that is. I'm simply stating that an AI will eventually probably be smarter than humans, and will replace us in most of our jobs. It could happens really soon, but we could also hit a plateau and it could happen in few decades. Will it be conscious? That depends on whether the theory that consciousness results from quantum fields is true, and if that can be simulated purely with math. Conscious or not, I think it will replace our jobs.

LLMs are just well-structured static stochastic databases with a simple data-retrieving algorithm, they are just like an interactive wikipedia with some extras. They lack the very basic ingredients of intelligence and cognition. They have no model of world (let alone self), have zero perception, almost zero learning, zero real-time reaction to environment, zero adaption and self-improvement, near-zero intelligence, zero agency etc. These are fundamental flaws that cannot be solved by simply adding more data or connecting more LLMs together. At surface level they can mimic human cognition here and there in special circumstances. But the inner workings of LLMs are so different from that of humans that only ignorants claim that they are (or will be) on the same category. And no future improvements of LLMs will close this gap. Probably you picked up this LLM-AGI nonsense from Ilya Sutskever. He is a first-rate expert in machine learning but otherwise a lunatic.

Automation is already here and as it moves forward it will begin (rather continue) to take jobs away from people. But the problem is that we can't live in a system where the jobs we used to do have been automated and capitlism is still the only economic system. Capitalism is all about who owns the means of production, the capital, the robots and the AI systems. Most of us won't own any of it. Which means we'd be displaced without some sort of universal basic income. But I can imagine lots of wealthy people continuing to influence the very people we elect to federal and state government not to pass laws in favor of universal income. Also, we're so used to living in a tier economical system that it's going to be so difficult to get out of thinking that way.

I work in a call center type place.. but it's work from home. Much of our processes could be automated. A lot of non-call processes like "does this display as over 50 miles. If so, re-assign it to a different vendor, as this vendor is limited to 50 mile trips." Idk how it hasn't happened yet. Just waitin for the AI takeover. And the AI voices, paired with LLMs, are getting way better. I'm pretty sure a lot of customers would rather talk to the LLM. Like think about it, they could scream their frustrations at it and no one would have hurt feelings about it. Whereas now some people would be like "sir, i'm going to have to ask you to refrain from using that language or i'll have to disconnect the call." Plus the LLM is able to grasp complex ideas so it could understand any query they're calling about. Plus, a lot of our job is typing what occurred in the call, as notes, in the software. The AI could type that instantly and it'd be way more detailed and concise than our people are. I guess the hard part would be pairing that voice chatting LLM with an AI that could actually navigate our software; so it could do both simultaneously while on a call. Heck, now you could probably just ask Claude Sonnet 3 to code it.

I disagree with some. Take for example the majority of childcare comes from a parent or both parents need to work, preparation for life as a working adult, preparing for school. When these things don’t exist how much childminding will we need. You say that businesses will have human run as a marketing gimmick. What are they producing and who is going to buy it and with what. What I do agree with (most of it) is that humanity will do just fine without work. The civil service will be the last to go managing people out of work and guiding them into something fulfilling. There may or may not be a population decline long term but it doesn’t matter. Over all I think this paradigm needs to be changed, words like buy and money and useful will become antiquated and useless. Let’s rid ourself once and for all of this scarcity mindset. Instead we need to start talking about value, fulfilment, support, faith learning. All for yourself and not for a goal.

I like most am in a position to compare and contrast. I can safely say, im far more miserable when im employed than when i am unemployed. The only down side to being unemployed is eventually running out of the means to go out and do things that I enjoy, which is to say running out of money. I knew a guy that worked very hard for a few a months or a year at a time, and then just stop for as long as his accumulated money would last him before repeating. I think If i could afford to be unemployed, I would be significantly happier all around. To me there is truly no worse feeling than waking up to my alarm, which indicates that its time to go to work. I got to sleep tired, I wake up tired, the hours not only drag but feel wasted and by the time I get home, i have no energy to enjoy myself. I just sleep, wake up, go to work, repeat. I hate it.
