I don't see any indication that morality emerges with intelligence.

It would be suicidal for the owning class to let the working class starve to death. The 99.9% will kill to not starve to death and the owners are outnumbered 1000:1. They know they'd have no hope of survival. The military and police would turn on their masters to not let their friends and extended family die.

Besides, ruling over a nation of corpses isn't satisfying. There's nobody to feel superior to.

Capitalism requires consumption. Without it, nobody can sell anything and the corporations die with the citizens.

If we get to a point where human labor has no economic value, there will be a new way of redistributing wealth that takes the place of wages.

I'm not that worried about a future where human labor still has some value but not much and the kind of valuable labor is stuff every human can easily do. The ruling class would still want to incentivize working by not providing UBI but everyone would be working minimum wage jobs with a permanent high unemployment rate with very limited safety nets. That's a future of grinding misery but it wouldn't be bad enough to cause a revolutions, like mass starvation would. That's the dystopia that worries me.

Yep, government will have no choice but to take some company profits, in some way, as companies will be the only entities with any money.

We might want to look at a sovereign wealth fund, like Norway has. The government could buy up 40% of every stock. The growth in company profits is about to go hyperbolic, now that they won't have labor costs. It might be a way to redistribute wealth from companies to citizens that isn't as adversarial as high taxes (which are also very easy for companies to avoid). It would also align the interests of companies, citizens and governments behind growth.

Just a thought.

We're kind of already there. We just haven't realized it yet.

It's hilarious that Texas will end up being the 1st mostly renewable state. They have great wind and solar resources so renewables just make good economic sense in Texas.

And it wasn't even specifically trained for this. It's just knowledge/skill it happened to have picked up from the training data.

I can't wait to see what a LLM can do when it's is specifically trained on all medial text.

A lot of professionals are going to have some amazing tools to make their jobs easier within a few years. They could definitely make fewer of those professionals needed.

Could many doctors be replaced with AI and some medial techs? Could this make healthcare finally affordable? We'll see.

They have been doing this for many years now. You have an "avatar" at google, facebook, etc.. There is a computer model of your identity and behavior at these companies already. We know that those avatars have been purchased by the government already.

The edge AI tech is really interesting. The AI models that use data centers of compute to ingest petabytes of data end up being small enough to fit on a phone. Stable Diffusion is 1.3GB and it can produce endless professional level art in seconds. How many of these will be end up with on our phones? It's the most amazing compression tech ever.

Yes, I suspect you are exactly right. This is how it will play out with many jobs. AI doesn't automate jobs, it automates some tasks within jobs.

Javon's paradox implies that, as long as humans are better that AI at something, the market will find a way to use that resource, but at a lowered price.

Man, this is really going to fuck up most of our lives for a while. I'm excited, scared, hopeful and sad when I think about this. It's a weird combination of emotions.

Google is paralyzed. They seem to have lost all abiltiy to execute. Let's see if this get them moving. My bet is "no".

Nope, it's creating actually new content that makes sense. It's not just copying shit. That joke didn't exist before.

It's is a real intelligence. It's an alien intelligence but it is an intelligence.

It's insane how clever and creative it is. I'm am continually stunned by it. It either actually understands or it perfectly mimics understanding, which for all practical purposes, is the same thing.
