Thus I predict that you will be the one looking back to this day, years from now, no longer recognizing the world that you live in.
You're right I won't. Because if the Tech industry has its way, all human workers will be replaced by AI and androids. And we'll all be broke and homeless, can't afford healthcare, and trying to work the measly 'gig economy' jobs that are left. Do I sound pessimistic?

Warren Buffet (I think) said that robots, should be taxed at a level of the replacement of human workers..otherwise people will be paying services and any productive gains to society (taxes/etc) will not keep up.....something like that....may have a point...I can't see a lot of 25 to 65 blue collar workers ALL sitting around 'passively' as their 'legitimate' high paying skilled jobs get outsourced to 'robots'....there will be 'social consequences' big time...if it is not addressed correctly (what correctly is, I've no clue)

And we'll all be broke and homeless, can't afford healthcare, and trying to work the measly 'gig economy' jobs that are left. I never understood the argument against automation. Why would anyone want a paid job if there are tools that can take care of it? Are people really so desperately helpless that they won't be able to lead a happy life without some superior telling them what to do with 70% of their wake time? You also seem to forget the fact that production costs slowly but surely converge towards zero. And since money is unlikely to disappear even in a world of virtual abundance you won't see masses of people being broke and homeless, because they would otherwise riot and go to war against those that have. There will either be a UBI (which could be pulled off today since fiat is a joke anyways and merely an illusion given the levels of production going on nowadays as opposed to the old times of hyperinflation and scarcity), or people will be "paid" for their data. As the data will be more valuable to those with significant resources than the production of smart phones and food would cost them there'll be an incentive to just spoon-feed those who don't really want anything more from life than being a consumer drone (the majority of people). Can't make any predictions on the health care side of things since I don't know jackshit about medicine, but that seems to be progressing remarkably well too. Sure, the world won't be perfect and there'll be many potential problems. But as always, you will have a choice. Will you play along as a mindless zombie the same way corporate slaves do today? Will you go "offshore"? Will you go creative (research, art, music, business)? Play the usual power games? Plenty of options, and certainly more accessible than ever before. This trend has been going on for as long as humans exist and it's not going to stop anytime soon, bar rogue asteroid impacts.

UBI would lead to a complete Socialistic global society, where governments would increase personal income taxes to first 60%, then 70%, then 80% to 'pay' for it. And they would increasing tell/regulate you how you can spend your remaining money. And they will tell you where you can and can't live. That is not a life. Corporations would be zombie corps and industries run by AI and androids, and human involvement would be minimized to merely the Executive Elites. Hyperinflation would inevitably ensue worldwide. Humans would eventually die off from having their souls crushed.

The answer is to skill up in skills needed by the automation software industry. If you cant beat them, join them.

But what happens when AI starts writing the software on their own, and better than a human could?

But what happens when AI starts writing the software on their own, and better than a human could? I’m not really talking about coding. Coding is only 5% of the available work. You need people to find use cases and deploy the software (which takes a long time). You need sales. You need support. You need people who can navigate the SEC rules on ICOs. You need Infosec. You need all the infrastructure that goes around an ordinary company whether it is making widgets or building AI. Devs are only one small piece (important for sure but a great business can survive with shitty tech but a shitty business with great tech won’t). Software is eating the world but only one bite at a time and it takes awhile to digest.

Corporations would be zombie corps and industries run by AI and androids, and human involvement would be minimized to merely the Executive Elites. Hyperinflation would inevitably ensue worldwide. Even the executive elites would be replaced at that point. And I don't see a problem with that. I'm not sure if I've posted this on WO or not either, but I'm all for just simply merging with AI as this will make the AI threat irrelevant by "upgrading" humans. Given the alternative I would be surprised if this did not happen. There'll be some religious and moral/ethics folks that will oppose to this, but they can just remain as normal humans in their own societies for all I care. Regarding the UBI, that is indeed a concern (the socialist government part, not so much the "zombie" part which I don't care about as I see no remarkable difference between humans, animals, and human or superhuman level AI). And there's surely going to be some opposition to such forms of UBI as well. But with corporations buying user data we would end up with a society that has a functional UBI, but not in a way that governments control it. Although it's arguable whether or not corporations controlling your income is any better. However, that's just the basis for survival and there's always demand for other things that an individual can choose to learn to supply to increase their wealth. That wealth will also create more freedoms and potential independance of UBI/selling your data. Overall, I'd still judge either as an upgrade to what we have now, where survival is still a very real issue. It's not like offshore banking will disappear or not be replaced by Bitcoin/Monero either. The answer is to skill up in skills needed by the automation software industry. If you cant beat them, join them.
But what happens when AI starts writing the software on their own, and better than a human could? By that point AI would be capable of optimizing production processes and research in such a drastic fashion that survival and entertainment would be essentially free for all.

there is no way to know... why waste resources on a limited time span on humans? survival first, that's the core of my message to the AI. edit: anything else is resources wasted that could be used to survive, first man, then the universe... need are yuge, ressources limited, time too short. the OPCW is a pharaonist plot, for them to have an edge. Full on ABC CHINA !!! no need to fall to weakness... kung fu is clear (&clean).

There was an Ebola Coin once. Not exactly sure where the proceeds went, but it raised social awareness about the Ebola. Probably.
I doubt that there are many people out there that don't know that Ebola exists. It was on the news a few years ago scaring everyone making them hide in their homes. But, I'll do my part for social awareness right now. Ebola exists. #ebolaawareness

At least IBM seems fairly confident in quantum computing hitting the mainstream industry within 5ish years. So we're not too far off from actually interesting new tech developments.
Still excited, but impatient as hell. Need a fast forward button for life (one that doesn't drain your life span).
I don't mean to offend (although this likely will), but I see you've drank the Koolaid. You will be disappointed. IBM is the #1 Repeat Offender. One days years from now, you'll look back and see the continuous Tech cycle pattern for what it actually is: all hype and bullshit designed and marketed to get people to spend money, and to create tech jobs and departments out of thin air, always building future solutions looking for a problem that doesn't exist. Hardly any of it really improves human life to any real degree. I don't think a person that could successfully offend me exists, so no worries about that. But alas, while there's a lot of empty hype on the tech (and every other) front it's patently false to classify it as just hype and bullshit. We literally went from being fucking monkeys in pretty houses to having everything that we have today in just about one generation. If you showed even 0,01% of what we have today to people from 100 years ago they'd burn you at the stake for witchcraft, and people from roughly one generation ago would put you in an asylum for making any such claims. And progress does without a doubt accelerate as everything new can be combined with everything old to create new things, of which some will be further new things that can be mixed and matched with other innovations. Hence, a snowballing process is not just simply observable, but objectively undeniable. Thus I predict that you will be the one looking back to this day, years from now, no longer recognizing the world that you live in. The thing about exponential growth, be it crypto, population, tech, whatever -- never forget what the backside looks like. Nothing goes up forever, the only question is: How High? then comes the crash.
