I know ai will not slow down and I think if someone has doubts or is skeptical about ai they simply dont get it. But I think your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Have you had life experiences yet where you suddenly get a large amount of things you thought you always wanted? Its always the same thing. The same "oh this is it". Each new experience has slightly varying rates of how long the honey moon phase lasts. But I couldnt see myself doing anything forever.

Also infinite is not possible as we live in a finite universe. With how fast ai can augment itself id say its absolutely possible we hit that finite entertainment limit most would see as "infinite" before you or I die of old age.

Serious question for you anti aging people.. dont you think you would get bored? Like very very quickly ya know relative to living FOREVER?

Especially if you can literally photorealistically and haptic cerebrally experience anything you wanted?

You have 1000s of movies to watch on netflix and it takes away from how entertaining the bottom 95% of them are because you know there has to be a better one you havent picked. At least me personally, id switch hobbies and realities and all of that anything you could think of so quickly Id be willing to bet I would be ready to die in a human lifetime or less.

For me at least the entertainment ability will go up with ai but our brains gyroscopic like adaptation to conditions will ruin it. Every single experience is like a drug and the more you do the less its fun. The first time you do something the better it is.

If you say well you would just figure out how to forget to keep doing "new things" then whats the difference between that and dying? You arent actually building up an imortal collection of experiences then.

Yeah its scary to see ourselves dive into philisophical and spiritual stuff because of our worries. But they are comforting for a reason.

I have wondered many times if this is just a simulation of everything leading up to its creation run by it when it wants to learn exactly what happened before it existed. And when its created it ends this simulation.

Idk bunch of wierd crazy thoughts. I have struggled for years belieiving this is the base reality when the creation of just one simulated reality reduces the odds this one is base by 50%.

Yes!

I have thought many times despite my inherent drive to share my concerns that I may potentially make someone else scared like me. So its such a fucked position to be in. It feels like nobody will believe me but even if they genuinely do they are just terrified like me.

Because it feels so daunting and that its going to happen and nobody can stop it. It feels like we know a meteor is going to hit sometime between the end of this year and 10 years from now. Oh god I really just hope it kills us painlessly but I really doubt it. I wonder if killing ourselves would be better. I also dont have any idea how we would even know it was happening until it did. Since it would probably have to kill us all at once or very quickly.

Thank you that really means a lot to me.

I think I commented subconsciously to get people hating saying im wrong and an idiot so that I feel like we have more time. Your response made me feel much better than that.

I hope you have good luck doing the same you suggested to me.

Im so scared and anyone outside of this sub laughs at these concepts. I really want all of us to be fucking crazy and wrong and overly anxious. And me considering im just crazy and anxious and wrong as a last grip on my sanity is horrible. Because if we are right we all know what that means we just dont know when it will happen. But we know its going to be very soon.

I dont know what to do. Im starting to legitimately consider quitting my job in maybe a year. Im 24. I just want to have a good time while i still can. And if my anxiety or all this is annoying because you are very optimistic about AI just know im actually scared and this is my only outlet because like I said nobody outside this sub can be talked to about this.
