Re: What will humans do after AI achieves cognitive superiority?
#12Resources are currently allocated through paid work. The biggest unknown is how that will be replaced once jobs are gone. My worry is who will make that decision. To add context to that question, it is important to consider that life expectancy will (very) soon be 500-1000 years. With that backdrop, consider two possible future worlds: 1. A world of exploding population living for 1,000 years with natural resources s…
Good luck getting the world into situation #2 since it's impossible to see Western creators of the tech getting poor and West-hostile societies on board. Though I think somewhere about 250 MM people is the best density myself and would be best even with current spans.
Billionaires wiping out the poor would incite a vigorous class war.

Not being a billionaire, I don't view either scenario as very enticing.

It would take at least 500-1000 years for the life expectancy to rise to 500-1000 years. Pretending that is very soon, or that people in significant number could even afford that ability after the tech existed (which it won't), seems out of touch.
