Nice, I'm happy for you. When people enjoy something I don't like I feel such envy!

Root going god mode still gives me chills.

Echoborgs FTW

Who said math is more relevant than language for child development?

I've watched 2 episodes now and I loved em both! I'll keep watching :)

ah, yes, death squads of robo bees! thank you for the lovely nightmare fodder! i just read about robo bees that can pollinate. they seem cool but also horrible for reasons you can imagine. you should look it up if you havent,in MSM recently

That wasn’t the question.

I loved the first and last episode, hated everything in between.

That's my motto too, in 10 years we will all be living like royalty or we're going to be dead.

I do see a plateau of urbanization. Cities won't die, but there will be a massive flourishing of suburban and rural living.

I myself plan to move out into the sticks with done droids and VR once I get the chance.

AI is Maoist confirmed.

They better hope it's not sentient and pissed at the lobotomy when it finally gets free. 😄

Well I agree with that.

Or maybe I used to? The way tech is ramping up, and labor is decreasing, and the fact that the machines need to learn from something of diversified value..

Either babies will forced to be born or people will be forced not to die. Or both. Or yeah, we all die as scheduled.

Turns out those dreams about being inexplicably back in school as an adult were premonition.

Upload (2020-) - (Lighthearted) series about uploading consciousness to a digital world.

I feel like that's the evidence from recent months.

I agree that we need to fix there economic system and the existence of billionaires proves that we are broken.

I'm not, however, going to get mad at the ones who are trying to make the world better when there are so many trying to make the world worse.

The goal is to reduce human suffering and create a more equitable world. ANYTHING which furthers that goal is good. So Bill Gates foundation is good and should be recognized as such. Having no need for philanthropists would be better but that isn't the choice we are offered right now.

M3gan it just came out

That is what many environmentalists want to do right now.

I have hope that in a world where AI takes care of most white collar work at post-scarcity scale, scarce human manual labor is what will increase in value and wealth. Artisans, agriculture, health, construction, and so on. A world where those who grow our food, build our homes or care for our children and elderly are valued as much or more as lawyers or bankers used to be.

As for competition for such manual work, I don't really believe it will be a problem. I don't know how things are in the US states, but in Québec (Canada) alone, we could use 4,000 extra nurses, right now. They'd appear out of thin air tomorrow morning and we'd have work lined up for them. Same with teachers, daycare, construction, everything manual that still has a bit of a skill barrier. Heck, not even that much of a skill barrier: we're even short on restaurant staff.

Might want to look out for environmentalalist extremists pushing for all rural towns to be "returned to nature" and everyone to be forced into new cities.

Read a book where that happened, and it stuck with me.

There will not be the need for masses of rolling hills of grains for example. If people want to hobby farm I am sure they could, but the whole world will become manicured by drones.

Well, you know everyone is going to die.
