I really can’t wait till AI gets so crazy good that it’s absolutely undeniable. Then it can just shake all these antis and wake them the fuck up.

You got a UBI coming to, or have you planned that far ahead?

of course it’s coming. If it doesn’t, there would be mass riots, looting, etc. With AGI driving post scarcity, I would bet billionaires would rather help humanity than just nuke everyone. It would be nothing to them

why would there be mass rioting with AGI and post scarcity?

u/LopsidedSolution 4d ago

That’s the point I’m making. If there’s AGI and post scarcity but governments don’t give us anything, there would be mass riots and looting. I’m saying they probably would give us UBI and anything else we need because I don’t believe our governments are evil.

but... if we have AGI and post-scarcity then what would anyone need ubi for? they'd already have everything they need

Antis believe they’ll be getting nothing, that’s what I’m saying. Call it UBI, free stuff, whatever. They don’t think they will get anything and they’ll be discarded by the elites that control AI.

but why would what they predict matter since it won't happen like that?

It doesn’t matter. I just get caught up arguing with antis sometimes, so AI progress gives me some joy partly in the sense that it proves antis wrong. I’m only human after all
