Oh yeah efficiency is the only thing people care about in their lives. They don't give a crap about getting mugged and beaten.

After you've experienced big city crime a few times you kind of yearn for something much safer.

Alternatively, UBI could be in the form of goods, not money.

People could be moved into massive dormitories, eat in cafeterias, and be issued basic clothing.

Population would then be centered within these dormitories and be very high density while being much more cost efficient for the government.

What is the solution then? Do we let the poor starve hoping it will active everyone else's empathy centers in just the right way? Do we start a violent revolution that ends with an oppressive dictatorship that makes everyone's life worse? I get that saying "we've got philanthropy so our work here is done" isn't good but why would we try to stop them from helping? If I'm dying of cancer I'd really like medicine to help me, but I'm not going to turn down the person who is patching up my gunshot wound even if it is delaying me getting my cancer meds.

Human Nature. It's not our fault really, this is millions of years of natural selection in a competitive world with limited resources and literal survival on the line, and you piss all over Bill and Jeff and Elon for doing exactly what Nature intended all along and not being able to rise beyond the sum of their parts.

That's what AGI will allow us to do, create it to be better than ourselves, to usher in the world we all want, but can't bring ourselves to create on our own.

A literal Deus Ex Machina.

It's human nature that has brought us to this point. Perhaps we are the first.

I only had one dream like that and it was the best I ever had

This is a big deal. Bill Gates has a large audience targeting the highest levels in our society and around the world. He just unveiled AI, to the billionaires and politicians.

What is sealioning?

This is going nowhere, nevermind.

if you electrify them and make them much smaller since self driving can prevent 99% of accidents wouldnt be as much of an issue

i'm just imagining luke skywalker hanging out with uncle ben and c3p0 and r2d2 and jawa sandcrawlers right now. except in oklahoma. in a molithic dome. idk if thats the future but it's fun to picture.

The tv show brave new world. They stopped it to much true in it.

Control as a reaction from fear. They completely lack self-awareness or self-restraint (for the workaholics)

No, the billions in excess profits you dingus

This looks like an ai wrote this not gonna lie,either way I agree

It’s funny, for a sub who generally prides itself on critical thinking, a lot of people upvote the comment defending bill gates, believing his charity justifies the insane wealth he has.

Some reddit nerd is trying to convince you this billionaire is but a humble man of the people; trying his best to make sure life is fair and just. He's doing a great job at growing more wealth and still somehow giving it away so charitably.

Classic.

Bill: SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!

We all like different things, that's perfectly normal! 😉😊

After using these tools for a few months now I can absolutely understand why Mr. Blake Lemoyne believes some of the more advanced models are conscious.

Exactly, last thing we need is the government taking a strangle hold on it. But unfortunately that could happen. I don't mind them restricting it to a certain extent as long as it's not to try and make profit.

It depends on many factors. My own observations point to rural exodus. Inertia being what it is, it seems that the trend will continue.

It could be that we have a third option: AI nomads. Assuming swarm intelligence and the IoT merge, there's no reason to stay rooted. Uber and Airbnb can facilitate a caravan existence. You only need minimal hardware to work after all.

And if UBI becomes ubiquitous, there's no reason to limit yourself to a single location as your tribe can be anywhere and nowhere at the same time...

Serial Experiments Lain, although it's really wild.

Love, Death and RobotsEspecially "Io" and "Zima Blue".

Where did he mention it?

Best scenario. The most "adaptive" thing governments can do is nothing.
