Bill Gates is full of shit
Always has been *astronaut meme *
He also partied with Epstein.
There is a vital question coming up. When the machines do all the work, does that mean everyone eats? Or no one?
Right now it is “no one” roughly speaking. That must change. There is no future for anyone there, just nightmares unfolding and unfolding.
It‘s phrased „warns“ because it is just assumed that no one will eat. Because apparently that‘s a normal thing to assume in our society. That we‘ll all just starve to death soon.
I don‘t think we will but it‘s telling that a lot of rich and influential people do and are not only letting it happen but actively supporting it.
Because apparently that‘s a normal thing to assume in our society.
It’s just very difficult to think outside of society , to think of a working society without the organizing power of money and labor. And even more difficult to think about the path to get there.
…unless you have watched Star Trek and the like.
Well we are on our way to WW3 so perhaps we’ll get there.
The good news is that the guiding document for the AI robots will be called “How to Serve Man”. The bad news is it’s a cookbook. :)
Sounds good to me.
I get to keep the same salary and just use AI to make my work easier, right?
Right?
That’s what I do. Used it to replace a shitty boss and then use it to make my work easier. My new boss is so high up in the clouds he has no idea how much work I actually do and how long it takes, as long as whatever they want eventually gets done.
Microsoft can’t even make a good operating system anymore. I don’t trust their ability to make an operating system work on a weekly basis.
Earlier this year, Geoffrey Hinton, dubbed the “Godfather of AI,” highlighted the severe wealth disparity that AI developments could generate.
“We’re talking about having a huge increase in productivity. So there’s going to be more goods and services for everybody. So everybody ought to be better off, but actually it’s going to be the other way around,” Hinton stated during a panel discussion. “And it’s because we live in a capitalist society.”
“And so what’s going to happen is: this huge increase in productivity is going to make much more money for the big companies and the rich, and it’s going to increase the gap between the rich and the people who lose their jobs. And as soon as you increase that gap, you get fertile ground for fascism,” he continued. “And so it’s very scary that we may be at a point where we’re just making things worse and worse.”
This seems spot-on to me. All you downvoters obviously didn’t read the article.
Far be it for me to point out that the “godfather of AI” has a vested interest in AI being seen as more capable than maybe it actually is. But more to the point we know that AI systems like loose on an environment cause absolute chaos and fail disastrously.
There was an experiment a couple of months ago where they tried to get an AI to run a small business and I think at one point it ended up sending emails to the FBI claiming it had been defrauded because a product it ordered didn’t instantly materialise.
Always feels like it’s less that ai can’t do the things we keep trying to make it do. But that we are acting like we have had another 20 years of development in the tech.
So everyone’s just playing make believe and pretending it’s 2045 in 2025.
Unfortunately, this place became just like reddit.

Why is it that every time they say stuff like this it always sounds like an advertisement.
“Our product is going to bring about the end of days, buy it now!!!”

“Warns”
Disclaimer: * also a main proponent of said AI he definitely doesnt have stock invested in companies whose survival, and his paycheck, depend on. Absolutely 1000% facts being spatial here.
P.s. now please don’t delete my computer on me Mr Gates.
Sure, pal
Don’t worry, he will be saying the opposite after he dumps whatever stock he’s trying to pump.
So now it’s “AI” that should allow us to profit from the efficiency increases you assholes actively siphoned off for yourself for decades??

Race to retire in 5 years. Got it.
Don’t fret peons!
The billionaires will become trillionaires and you will become poorer.
Win / win.
