So here we are on the cusp of the next great revolution of humankind. Close to the greatest achievements and the greatest doom. The age of AI combined with robot tech. Isn’t our undoing just a matter of time?
Before I get into that likes take an analogy: the employee who needs work hopes to not work or strives to get work finished so it’s done. It’s human nature to try to achieve some goal for some result. The goal since we became self aware has been to discover our purpose, procreate and make human lives easier – leaving economic ideas out of the argument. Thus, we are at its end. We have nearly achieved the ability to do nothing. No physical labor, no thought or reason to an extent, but it’s not a beautiful future.
An idea is put forth where there is a future where we have 20 billion robots give or take and people don’t work that’s not an a good future, it’s a hellscape.
There cannot be a shared economy to start. Instead there would be a system of allocation of financial resources with a handful of manager who choose for the masses. Another problem is post robot production problems. Who will by them if nobody works? Until robots can build themselves who will build them as the labor force shrinks? It’s a self defeating destiny rife with the horrors of tech gulags of the mind and body.
I’ll soon go into this in detail in a broadcast, but for now buckle up because we are literally at a very dangerous point in humanity.
