I asked someone in AI what success would be for the sector. She said, 25 million jobs "replaced."

@MostlyHarmless when I was majoring in AI, people around me were building models for early Alzheimer detection, hyper-resolution in medical imaging, traffic optimization in smartcities, plant disease detection and many more. Many were just college projects and not on par to be deployed, many were. But you know what was the difference there? People were seeing AI as independent tool. Not a property owned by corporate giants. That's why they were able to see it's use case. Can you see it as well?

@MostlyHarmless The problem of selling stuff to people will solved shortly after.

@MostlyHarmless Deep in the human psyche there is a desire to get something for nothing, and it has led to some of the most horrific actions, both singly and as a group, that human beings have ever perpetrated. Everything from murder to slavery to genocide to whatever fresh hell AI creates.

@R4D10_411310p47HY @MostlyHarmless think outside the box: money is just not needed anymore when the whole production is done automatically by AI or robots for the owning billionaires. They let them build the world for their very small elite. The rest of mankind is not needed anymore and can be killed.

@MostlyHarmless Any type of farming/industrial automation also had the goal of eliminating labor (i.e. paying workers less). That really sucked for the people who lost their job.

Suppose you're the leader of a big country. Self-driving cars have been invented, in this scenario they're completely safe. Many people start taking self-driving taxis because they're cheaper. Cab drivers are losing work. Would you ban self-driving taxis to make sure cab drivers could continue earning a wage?

@MostlyHarmless

I've always thought businesses would invest heavily in any technology that would absolve them from paying wages, except for the gargantuan ones owed to C-suiters, regardless of how much more that costs them instead of paying the damn wages.

@greenhombre @MostlyHarmless
And by the way with a trillion dollars his many wages can be paid?

@MostlyHarmless when all the work is automated, will the billionaires let us go out and play? /naivety

@petealexharris @MostlyHarmless As an aside, is mass transit outside dense city centers still the best way to serve public needs when you could have heavily regulated robotaxis?

I often see buses drive around with just a few seats filled, despite increases in bus lanes, which undermines the theoretical economy of scale. Public transport in rural areas has been reduced over time, leading to transit poverty for people who don't own a car. I'm wondering if robotaxis would be an efficient solution.

@MostlyHarmless they forget that tokens cost money, at least anything beyond goldfish memory
