(ahh... one month to St. Paddy's Day -- and I think I will be in Spain..?)
AI, AI, AI...
What will happen as AI is more developed? What do science fiction depictions have to say? What does Elon Musk have to say... And what do I think?
Star Trek, Star Wars .... still lots of people doing stuff, directing stuff, etc... But cooking? Done. What about construction? What about farming? What about ART/creativity?
Elon says --- social unrest is on the horizon with the advent of superintelligent AI.
I say -- probably!!! My concern is what do people do when they don't have to do anything to produce food, shelter, and clothing? An answer is... be creative - but do we all have that capability? And besides -- people are experimenting with AI making art, music, etc.. Be productive - but all is produced. SO - CONSUME?? Not a prospect into an infinite future. There is only, really a finite amount of resources to consume. SURE - recycling could help. SURE - AI could REDISTRIBUTE wealth and resources in an objectively rational way... HOWEVER -- the "regulation" being called for is - perhaps - suited to the interests of those who already have an oversized slice of the pie, so to speak... SO while their needs are less than their resources... they still want to protect themselves and what is theirs... OY!!!!
