A world with less scarcity 😎

Freedom.

Once it can generate 3d assets (I do not mean faked 3D where computer interprets pixels on screen with algorithms, but an Ai actually creating fbx and uvs and rigs and animations and PBR texture sets with prompts alone and they are the same/higher quality than a human creator, that'll be a gigantic shift in...everything

• Less scarcity in entertainment and media content.
• Less scarcity in cheap workers, including educated ones with debt.
• Less scarcity in services which can be done or supported by such AI.

Edit: Extension

This is succinct and correct. What's left is freedom.

Freedom from the profit motive controlling our lives.

Freedom to spend the one life we have on the pursuits and connections we actually care about, freedom to explore the full spectrum of human experience, instead of wasting it on human drudgery, fighting each other for just enough scraps to survive another day, just to do it again.

This technology offers us freedom.

You don't think AI will be used in areas that we use on a day to day basis? Food production, energy supply, housing production.

Seems like you're comment was kinda cynical, AI will benefit us more than it will hurt us.

"We will have to wait to see exactly what lasting impact these tools will have on creative industries, and on the entire field of AI. Generative AI has become one more tool for expression. Altman says he now uses generated images in personal messages the way he used to use emoji. “Some of my friends don’t even bother to generate the image—they type the prompt,” he says.

But text-to-image models may be just the start. Generative AI could eventually be used to produce designs for everything from new buildings to new drugs—think text-to-X. 

“People are going to realize that technique or craft is no longer the barrier—it’s now just their ability to imagine,” says Nelson.

Computers are already used in several industries to generate vast numbers of possible designs that are then sifted for ones that might work. Text-to-X models would allow a human designer to fine-tune that generative process from the start, using words to guide computers through an infinite number of options toward results that are not just possible but desirable.

Computers can conjure spaces filled with infinite possibility. Text-to-X will let us explore those spaces using words. 

“I think that’s the legacy,” says Altman. “Images, video, audio—eventually, everything will be generated. I think it is just going to seep everywhere.”

I was referring to the headline: Generative AI, hype. It's about the current content production.

> fighting each other for just enough scraps to survive another day, just to do it again.

Bro you’re browsing Reddit. You don’t know what a scrap is.

And you are presumptuous. I encourage you to not assume you know everyone's lived experiences.

/edit: I find it amusing that this user blocked immediately afterward. A quick look at their posting history shows how deliberately aggressive and immature they are.

No, I will be.

Because if you actually went from “fighting each other for just enough scraps to survive another day”, to browsing Reddit for entertainment, you wouldn’t have made a comment like that in the first place.

How do you know? 🤔

We’ve been saying that the world would have less scarcity for decades now but the middle class are poorer than they were back in the 60s. Affording a house is impossible now. Food price is through the roof yet we’ve never produced so much resources in human history. Farming equipments are more efficient than ever

Capital/Net Worth inequality is different than the amount of actual produce available though. We have more than enough food to feed everyone and enough homes to house everyone, it’s just not distributed fairly.

I dont see how things will be distributed fairly anytime soon

The absolute lack of scarcity is a world without a need for workers. Do your shades still fit you? 😎

Yep, the struggle to survive will be gone. Based 😎

It’s only just the beginning… these Ais will be building our entire future worlds, mostly in the meta space. I guess the whole ideals leading up to 2030 doesn’t sound so far fetched after all

I saw a thing on here yesterday where an ai was texturing 3d models in blender... and I know there are already ais generating 3d models from text like stable dreamfusion...

Or they will get rid of excess means of production through war or attrition.

That’s because of all of the anti-middle class economic changes that the republicans implemented during the last 50 years.

Malicious misinformation campaigns that overthrow governments, terrorize dissidents, and shred the last remaining threads of community left in society.
