I’m surprised more people aren’t excited by AI, you realise intelligence begets more intelligence?!

And intelligence will solve all our problems. We will all be well off. No more poverty. No more homelessness. No more disease.

In the past hundred years humanity has come a long way, a lot more people are well off, our technology has skyrocketed. Every advancement we make brings even more advancement.

Ai has the potential to improve life. Those that create ai that, own ai, that have the power to direct AI will corrupt its potential benefit. Also job losses.
And some people want to be homeless diversity of perspective requires at least some "have nots"
Disease is not only illness.
The opportunity for improvement is extraordinary or it might become terminator.
Or ai will be like bender from futuama.
The future is unpredictable.
If anything can go "wrong" it will; eventually.
Intelligence also begets arrogance. Just look at DJT and Musk.

@exchrist you’re way out of line😂😂😂
Yes, there will be job loss bit later. There will be universal income. No more poverty.

@Ferise1 maybe in 50 years. Given wealth inequality now do u honestly foresee Musk Trump and the world's wealthy giving up status for universal income? And equality? Fat chance; though DJT is noticably overweight.

@Ferise1 agree but the status those players have "acheived" was often stolen or taken by "advantage"(inherited often by preference choice). As such assuming these "high society" types are going to use their acquired "wealth and prestige\intrigue" to equally disperse the gains, is a pipe dream; at best. Speaking of "high society".
Regardless the historical record demonstrates that wealth and status is the problem.
Wrenching that privledge from the hands of established elites has been the struggle for human rights, for as long as time; which are now being trodden on by the likes of "above the law types" like Trump, whom has escaped the law his entire life; politicains, and a court system ruled by educational attainment (governed by high tuition requirments) and insiderism.
If he dies, the precedent is to "wait out the clock" that's dangerous too. No rule of law only money which will never have been paid.
Again regardless. Mr. Trump dying puts Vance in power, unlawfully, after his predecessor DJT didnt win the election, not with a majority; of votes; that is.

@jehova I think trump won fair and square

jehova · 31-35, M

@Ferise1 not a majority. Only a plurality. Thats reality, which Demonstrats American "democracy" to be false.

jehova · 31-35, M

@Ferise1 the law says absent a majority winner a runoff election with only the top three preforming candidates MUST be held. That might only be at local\state level; though.

@jehova well that’s how voting works in America he won fair in square

jehova · 31-35, M

@Ferise1 didnt win; no one did. but the antiquated (and biased\racist) electoral college has more power than the popular vote does. Reality. No one received more than half of votes; (48.3% Kamala) with just 75.013million votes and (49.8% DJT) with 77.3 million votes. Fewer than about 70% of those eligible to vote; did. Strongly suggesting 30%(almost a third) didnt support any of the candidates or simply didnt vote. Demonstrating the oligarchical nature of America.

When the Electoral College was established Non-citizen (owned slaves) laborers were accounted for to add weight to the voting power of states with fewer eligible voters (lesser population), but a greter number of revenue generating unpaid residents, (the "3\5th compromise" as you may recall). Thats why the electoral college is outdated antiquated and a vestage of an oppressive era.
