How are you feeling these days?
We sure do live in interesting times
This is the biggest worry in my head.
We will absolutely not be able to continue with our way of life. Significant portions of society will NOT be able to contribute “value” (the the capitalistic sense) to society.
What happens then? A bunch of young, lonely, disenfranchised people? Just bread and circuses with AI proliferated entertainment to keep the masses placated?
Or, the more optimistic post scarcity outlook. What if AI improves our lives so much anyone can live any life they want? (Very very optimistic)
