genetic engineering, automation, AI - you're fighting the last war
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 26th, 2017 11:12 AM Author: Zippy public bath idea he suggested random adhd thought after reading this mckinsey article about AI:
suppose in 50 years genetic engineering lets us basically eradicate crime and ensure all newborns have an iq of 150+. medical ethics will be a drag on progress but it'll eventually bend the knee to modernity per usual.
meanwhile automation and AI keep relentlessly lowering production costs and boosting global living standards (set aside your unabomber/marxist fake trolling for the sake of argument). and travel, social media and internet access becomes increasingly accessible, cheaper and better, increasing ties across borders. so the nation state continues to creak under the weight of increasing cross border social/economic ties and non-state based security threats (obviously this means trump and brexit end up being the last gasps of a dying westphalian system).
if all that's true, aren't you and your “lib”/“sjw” enemies basically off somewhere fighting a totally irrelevant war with civil war era muskets?
you idiots are fighting over nonsense while people smarter than you are busy growing the pie ten fold |
Date: November 26th, 2017 11:14 AM Author: mustard crackhouse ladyboy I'm not sure that AI eliminating most work + genetic engineering causing massive cognitive elite overproduction is going to necessarily be a boon for society. Perhaps eventually, but the short-term pain could be brutal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3809277&forum_id=2#34774043) |

In the French Revolution, people didn't have jerbs and bread so they pulled the king and his court out of their palaces and chopped off their heads. |

Any revolution would have to be driven by pure jealousy at the fantastically wealthy rather than terrible living standards
My op may sound crazy but the kinds of conversations people are having in Silicon Valley VC firms are ten times crazier |

You're talking about a pie that would, under the best case scenario, be ready in 50 years. Probably longer. Your kids will be old by the time that pie is baked. The rest of us are looking at the pie we've got now and trying to make the best of it for us and our future children. And in today's world, Trump and Brexit are the only cr.

Date: February 24th, 2018 3:47 PM Author: judgmental house nibblets i see no evidence whatsoever that clueless ivory tower Silicon Valley dorks are capable of running a top-down technocratic empire. these guys are mostly morons (with real technical skills) who unironically believe stuff like Africa is going to be a 21st century economic powerhouse
the real technocratic elite of the new reality are going to be much closer to peter thiel-type right wing hyper-realist libertarians. we have nothing to worry about |
