Techno-feudalism. The original serfs only got a break thanks to plague. But that was when the feudal barons were still in situ and needed people to herd the livestock and till the land. Plumbers, joiner, fitters, multi disciplinary skills, short...

I don't get it. If you replace people in their jobs, they don't earn any money. If they don't earn any money, they can't buy things. So... Who are they going to sell stuff to?

I agree! But… this is a strategy by stealth, which has to raise serious suspicions. And I have zero – absolutely zilch – idea of how society would look post-AGI. Does anyone, in fact? The most obvious issue being, what do we do with the...

Seems like the SOA would be onto this. It;s one reason I think audiobooks should be on the same platforms as independent music. Maybe, Your constellation should include gaming and music, because readers will have similar tastes

Like you said Pete, the goal is not to make money now, but to revolutionize society. It is a race of who will control the next 100 years and attain AGI first. It's not a bubble. Blue collar will become the new white collar. Premium on 'human'...

The one benefit that I could see, IF accurate, are the reports that AI can diagnose patient symptoms faster and with less failure than human doctors. I mean it doesnt have to check notes it made in med school 25 years ago so... If the unequal...

The UK might still get away without the PM's plan to unleash AI, but other countries are increasingly going for it. South Korea going to start experiencing acute labour shortages very soon (and is really not keen on immigration). It's an...

For those people who follow the wacky world of AI business, the perennial conundrum is – how are these hucksters ever going to turn a profit? Much has been written, by far wiser heads than mine, concerning the dire prospects of any AI industry...
