A lot of money is in software, most startups as well as companies with high market caps are in tech, there aren’t even enough programmers for the demand. Ai will make them much more productive.

It doesn’t need to affect every industry immediately to produce a lot of money and competition.

Adobe, google, unity and soon many more come with their own ai products to be not left behind.

The manufacturing and transport industry etc isn’t even really important to accelerate towards agi because computer scientists and programmers are the biggest contributors which are in the tech industry.

We also don’t need asi or replicators just robots who dig everything up, manufacture and transport it which needs agi. At that point there will be no real economy anymore.

Really weird how you talk about money in an age of agi/asi.

When ai enters the economy now it will make trillions of dollars, companies can be left behind, countries can be left behind. Which means NOW we enter a stage of huge talent and money into ai research, strong competition which further accelerates research, governments will be involved, an ai arms race.

That is actually the game changer in developing agi.

Look how far we come in 10 years without all of this.

Evolution showed there aren’t really different pathways to higher intelligence. Both vertebrate and invertebrates lead to high intelligence and devolution is hard or impossible, so the evolutionary brain would have been extremely lucky to get in the right direction two times just by luck and both seem to be basically the same. This leads me to believe there is only one way which can be build upon.

Who leads content lives? The 99% of people who work 8 hours a day in their repetitive jobs and if they aren’t exhausted have maybe a few hours free time a day?

Every crisis brings them on the bring of unemployment or makes them poorer

Anyway, being an optimist is healthier than being an pessimist and it seems pessimists have a much bigger problem with optimists than the other way around and try to insult them.

All the things you mentioned needed decades of research. They didn’t just appear out of nowhere between 2003 and 2013.

I think touchscreens and the internet were invented in the 60s and 80s.

First you have research, invention in all kinds of fields and when it matures and come together you have an application explosion.

It doesn’t mean that you had more progress during 2003-2013.

We had most likely less scientific progress than the decades beforehand.

The same happens with new technologies like ai, biotech, vr, nanotech etc.

Every important progress behind close doors will lead to an explosion when everything matures and come together.

Doesn’t mean when the explosion happens that we actually will have more progress during that time.

People always talk about fusion is 20 years away but we did make progress which was in material science.

Fusion needs innovations in material science which can take decades because the materials you need are pretty high tech.

Don’t be a fool and think when fusion happens and change the world that we suddenly made progress, would be disrespectful of the decades of work beforehand which was more important and harder.
