Quote from FMPONEIm losing confidence in our ability to arrive at this kind of a solution. It seems like income inequality is just growing, and government is more and more carrying water for the same businesses it's supposed to regulate. In other words, what were dealing with really resembles unfettered capitalism.
This is also what disturbs me. If machines truly are going to be smarter and more creative than humans, it's almost like we've lost all reason to exist, and it only makes sense for the machines to decide to remove us. If they didn't, I guess we carry on, but life would surely feel somewhat strange knowing we have no constructive purpose anymore, because a higher life form is in charge and making all of our decisions for us. It reminds me of animals in a zoo, existing because we allow them to, a true sign of being low on the food chain if there ever was.
So what, you don't think people will actually try and migrate outside of society? If robots take up all the workforce, then there's no need for humans where the robots are. That doesn't mean there won't be places on the planet where there aren't robots. We're not going to industrialize the planet overnight, and certain places will likely remain the same for a long, long time even when the robots taking our jerrrbs have arrived.
Really sad to see successful people go like that. Second comedian I like who suicided in a matter of weeks, crazy shit.
