If aging is overcome, I can see a lot of people having a second set of kids. It will be easier too thanks to automated help. Might even do so myself which is certainly not something I'd consider right now. There goes the shrinking population problem.

"most retirees choose to go back to work" uh yeah, this is absolutely not true.

The most I found was "1 in 6" go back to work, and more than 50% of them said it was due to needing more money. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/22/1-in-6-retirees-are-considering-a-return-to-the-workforce.html

If you can't think of anything outside of a traditional job you could do to keep yourself entertained, you likley have just been conditioned that way. I think you will find that when you don't have work to do you will discover a world of creative endeavours and hobbies that could keep you entertained for multiple lifetimes.

In my lifetime, even if I could retire right now in my 20's I know that I will not have enough time to do all the things I want to do. If I could live forever, I would learn 10 languages, instruments, read thousands of books, learn to code, make a game, etc etc.

I never worked a day in my life so it will be exactly the same for me.
I find meaning into enjoying every moment before I die or stuff/people that I love die, improve my wisdom and my knowledge, learn new skills,travelling and mainly music and all the little free stuf that nature are provinding us.

I really like life as it is right now, I feel that we will loose a lot of stuff in the future,everyday our planet is getting more polluted and life is decreasing drastically every day as well.
I think we loose a lot of humanity the last 20/30 years because of the tech and that most of people are forgeting,in my opinion, what really matter in life, actually forgeting to live.

I think that A.I is fascinating to follow but if I could press a butom and stop all the progress I think I will because based our the human nature, need and greed I don't think one scenario where these way too much powerfull tools will be use wisely.

But it doesn't prevent me to enjoy life, it actually make it more enjoyable and precious I think because I live like the end is near, anyway there is nothing that I can't do to prevent it so let's enjoy the ride wherever it drive us.

In the same time I respect all the people who are enthusiastic and working in the tech field, most of them are actually trying to make a better world I think and the next few years will be exciting to follow without too much chaos yet.

  1. Congratulations, you have carbon. Now you need everything else.
  2. mines can be automated, but there are a limited number of mines and those mines have a finite amount of resources.
  3. arable land is a declining resource
  4. there is only just so much available for a lot of other resources, see my sand example

Limited resources means supply and demand. The owners of those resources have only a finite amount available and will be selling them to the highest bidders. Just like today’s commodities markets.

The more limited resources will go up in at a rapidly increasing pace as demand increases. See lithium prices over time. And there’s not a lot to automate with lithium production.

Right, but most people don't understand that and the majority of people will get bored. It will be the bee movie scenario, a bunch of people sitting around with nothing to drive them or entice them to work hard.

Reply to comment by Zealousideal_Ad3783 in Bing chat’s new feature: turning text into images! by Marcus_111

According to this article that was just released yesterday, the unrestricted model of GPT-4 can produce images.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12712

On page 16, "the model appears to have a genuine ability for visual tasks, rather than just copying code from similar examples in the training data. The evidence below strongly supports this claim, and demonstrates that the model can handle visual concepts, despite its text-only training"

I'm still not sure whether my initial assumption was from information I gleaned somewhere or because I hallucinated it. Regardless, GPT-4 can indeed output images.

Reply to comment by DonOfTheDarkNight in When will an LLM be deliberately designed for sexually explicit content? by Tobislu

Slightly off-topic, but I started r/DreamsPS4xxx to boost sexually explicit fan creation in Media Molecule's Dreams.

Considering how many quality sex games people are making there, as well as tutorials for jiggle physics, etc, I'm sure it's had a measurable effect on our understanding of user-generated sex sims 😊

I have this dream often. I spend a few months working on a new project, maybe it's an art collection, maybe it's a new game, maybe it's a book, whatever is catching my passion at the time. When it's ready, I plan an event weekend for my friends and fans to come out and enjoy. The event is full of decorations and food and activities that compliment the project. What I want is to take that feeling when you and all your friends dive into a new hobby together, and turn it into a party where everyone is doing that. That way right at the most exciting time, you're surrounded by a bunch of fellow enthusiasts.

Then I'd take break for a week or two, touring around to see the project launch events of my friends and favorite creators. I want to spend time soaking in new ideas and enjoying the culture other minds create, then come back to my studio to synthesize it all into something new and fun to contribute myself.

a) Actually, like plants, automation could pull carbon for example right from the air.

b) the places making the raw materials would also be automated.

Automated mines, automated refineries, automated solar panel factories, automated installers, automated powerlines - very biological.

You know von neumann machines, right - no one is saying those are unaffordable, because they are self-reproducing.

Travel the world making friendship across cultures, learning more language I know 4 now, read psychology books and do art(specially writing, playing piano) as a hobby, learn to draw, meditate to enhance myself as a person and be more light as a spirit.

And I'm anxious for that, hope that becomes reality as soon as possible to be free of being a hard working engineer, and be out of the market competition because machines will win the rat race

I'll live out the rest of my life reminding people daily about the horrible construct of greed and wanton destruction called Capitalism so that no one ever makes that stupid fucking mistake ever again.

I'll literally reference the complicit governments responsible as a Holocaust survivor refers to the German Nazi Regime.
