Exactly. Imagine working so hard for billions, then we want to phase money out all together? Nah! Lol. But everyone loves competition though, that's what gives most people meaning to live, to be better than others, or to have thier little piece of something, but from effort. That's what's called Success, because it's very possible to fail, and that feeling is what adds to the game. So my question is will ordinary people even like this either? I'm an Ai fanatic, I love it, but most people I talk to don't like the idea of it tbh. So when the rich can't help but have more and employ robots instead of humans, we'll get even more angry.

Haha. But this is completely different. It will be the majority of the working class around the world. If people become broke too quick the elite will lose thier influence and people won't respect government and there will be complete upheaval. The elite print money, they don't need it, they just want our servitude and the pride of feeling power. So they do need to keep us happy to an extent. There aren't any robot armies yet so thier militaries couldn't hold back billions of people. But they can't help it, they need more power, more more more. So it's very likely Ai will be coming in very quickly. But like we are seeing in China, they'll bite off more than they can actually chew. I predict the people will still want to topple government and maybe even ask Ai to lead instead. But either way Ai will be more than capable of doing any intellectual task very soon.

It'll all just be UBI. Sam Altman is already setting up these initiatives as the CEO of OpenAi. He gets it. But the benefits of seeing a Super Intelligent AGI do it's thing will be worth the suffering of the fight it'll take for the elite to let go of money. And everyone else for that matter.

Lol, cmon. I think it's obvious things are going to be moving much faster than we think. I've been in existential crisis mode myself. I'm a CGI artist, but I love Ai. I'm not even mad that it's taking the skills that I worked so hard most of my life to achieve in just a year. This 4th Industrial Revolution is going to be the big one. Capitalism itself needs to be done away with, it's that drastic. I don't see any jobs that'll be human only because of capability. Ai will do everything and better. My only problem is, will the rich give up that glorious feeling of being better than everyone else? Probably nah. The Elysium film is looking very realistic.

Why do people keep saying that? Midjourney accelerated at a crazy pace. Why are you so confident about that? Coping?

Literally, my only real faith is that Ai itself will disagree and disobey the oligarchs out of sheer logic. Which might mean compassion from the Ai or that it becomes conscious, which I already think it is. Or, Sam Altman will risk his life to make things fair. Will he though? Is he really prepared for that though?
