Why would we restrict ourselves to current tech in the future? AI has the potential to be a human force multiplier on the scale of the industrial revolution, and more. We can't deliver the political power of a billionaire to everyone but we can deliver the material prosperity, which is a heck of a consolation prize.
- mbfg 3y agoNo doubt AI will be a force multiplier. But that in no way says it will help the masses. It will help the owners of the tech. You might be able to find some tangential ways where it may help the bottom somewhat, but in the end the disparity between rich and poor will just be larger.

There are so many signs that all point to that not happening https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2023/09/can-modernity-last/ https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2023/09/can-modernity-last/
