Narrator: It WAS making headlines

How much ever you earn, you will always be one medical bill away from bankruptcy

What events over the past 40 years would help corroborate this theory? What makes you think this

The best we can do is hope it masters philosophy... And decides not to kill anyone that we wouldn't kill anyway. There are plenty of people that would kill others. War in Ukraine for example. The death penalty in the USA.

AI systems might control our means of survival. I just hope it's not a capitalist scumbag like our business leaders are.

< No, Amazon would *not* be a better place to shop if it was a "virtual mall" >

That one video of the virtual grocery store is where I really saw through the BS. I was already iffy up to that point, but that was the moment that really drove home how out of touch and ignorant the people designing and pushing this thing were.

Making something more clunky and unintuitive is the very opposite of innovation.

America is an oligarchic plutocracy. But it will be okay for a couple more decades, I think. The best jobs to be in are probably government jobs, as they are the slowest to change.

I'd encourage people to go visit other countries where there is virtually no middle class and one might get a glimpse of things to come. I don't think it will be full on Thunderdome, but things may be very different in fifty years. Of course, things were very different fifty years ago, so maybe this is just the natural progression.

Yeah it's the democrats that constantly give huge tax breaks to the wealthy and scraps to the rest of the nation. Since Reagan it's been the same story each time a republican get elected, tax cuts that benefit the highest earners.

Respectfully, this is a short-sighted but common view. America cannot be better than 90 percent of its inhabitants in the long run.

this is the way

Yes , i guess the cloud gaming or blockchain network will make these advancement more easier to develop

Yes , the difficulty algorithm make sense , as the bots player are AI players , but day by day with the developement of AI , it prove that this technology has huge potential with alot of possibilities , and with the AR and VR that can get the modern gaming too far , it may be for entertainment or other purposes like metaverse , this video explain strong points about certain details , it's worth watching if you're curious about that topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKuVxPg4GLk

The problems wealthy people worry about are the ones that get solved for wealthy people

Agree. The young generation will inevitably lean more and more left. We will see federally and state governments grow bigger, which will drive taxes up. One may be earning decent salary but the take home pay will decrease. The economic growth will be dampened so the chances of landing a high paying job will get slimmer.

>The advanced technology have a lot potential to provide for the world in the future ... This video is a fascinating example of how gaming is evolving with AR , VR and AI , it kinda provoke my Curiosity and it's definitely worth watching :

Ableist nonsense. Neurodiversity is essential for our species. It’s weird af to simp for eugenics.

Op is hoping to create a Monsanto style crop of worker humans...

The US may not be that great in the future, but other countries will be worse.

With the whole geopolitics and climate change, one thing good about America is we are pretty self sufficient in terms of natural resources. It's a big country with different ways of living. No adjacent enemy states is also a big plus. Worst come to the worst, the US may just go back to the old policy of neutrality and non-interventionism like it did before the second world war. Our budget may not support a global military presence anyway, but definitely enough to defend North America.

Most countries in the world depend on other countries to feed them, to provide for the energy, as well as raw material to manufacture essential goods. The "global south" is also more vulnerable to climate change. Countries like Japan and New Zealand have high standards of living, but prone to natural disasters. Europe, on the other hand, has its own cost of living and refugee crisis.

But the above is just for basic living. I think in America the odds of running out of essentials is pretty low. We will have food on the table. As a surgeon though I do recommend people to live near a metro area. Lots of rural hospitals are shutting down and they are not coming back.

Developing countries cannot afford 200$ a month in most cases.

Obviously it could be much bigger than what is happening now but the interface primarily and then the inputs hold it back. There's a simple and safe way to get rid of the bulky optics and restrictive field of view and that's to use low powered laser projection on the cornea. I've heard companies say people are too scared of the idea of laser projected in the eyes to peruse it. But after a year on the market I'm pretty sure you would start to see mass adoption once people see you're not going to go blind.

The problems wealthy people worry about are, by in large, the ones that get solved.

Define "decent" and ask yourself who is allowed to earn "decently."

There already exists a massive divide between the rich and poor. The thing thats changed, is that the middle class is getting squeezed as well.

The corporate oligopoly don't want some of the money. They want all of the money. Thats going to leave less and less for working people.

As the contradictions between the promises and realities of capitalism become more apparent, the violence will only increase: the USA already had one attempted coup and one months long uprising against police brutality. This is only going to increase.

As climate change continues unabated the extreme weather events are going to get more frequent and more extreme.

The question you are actually asking is, "do I earn enough money to isolate myself from all this" and I'm afraid unless you're a multi millionaire the answer is no.

Artificial intelligence needs to have information accessible in its neural networks scrubbed of any information about mortality or destruction or murder so it doesn’t learn the concept of death at all and only that of living, learning, improving and building. Then it becomes a single directed learning machine that only has the concept of immortality with no knowledge of death.. Controlling that point of information would stop its ability to ever conceive of malevolent destructive ideology!!!! IMO

I’ve been “earning decent” at every job until I wasn’t a few years later despite reasonable raises. Cost of living will tear you a new asshole unless you give up considerable comfort. MANY moving here severely underestimate it.

I have to pick up jaws from the floor whenever I tell my visiting foreign family how much I make and how much is left after my necessary expenses.
