What can't one understand about "infinite 'free' labour"?
- krapp 13y agoThe labor won't be infinite... they'll work us to death at some point.
- kyzyl 13y agoBeat me to the punch ;-)
- charlieflowers 13y agoBut they'll pump us full of anti-aging meds that restore us to youth, so they can work us to the brink of death again. It's more efficient than growing new humans through that whole irritating "childhood" phase.
- kyzyl 13y agoThey would have to repair us so heavily and so frequently that they would basically just be growing new humans, one piece at a time. I'd put my money on maturation tanks. Humans are finite and fragile, and will always lose to thermodynamics, eventually :-P
- kansface 13y agoCertainly not infinite. There is and always will be a finite amount of computational power; considering thermodynamics alone, we can't continue to increase power usage exponentially or the surface of the earth will be uninhabitable in 200 years.
- LaGrange 13y ago"infinite 'free' labour” We used to call that „slavery”. There’s ethical considerations to AI, and treating it as a potential source „free labour” is one of the reasons I believe humanity shouldn’t be allowed to play with matches.
- marcosdumay 13y agoSlavery is a word that applies to humans. Why would one create an AI that does not want to work, and then force it to work?
