why not? they have cured other illnesses by editing DNA. Immortality just seems like the beginning to me.

> I don't do closed-source anything, fuck Apple, I don't order Amazon, I don't crave acquiring useless goods to distraction from my being poor.

Why are you using Reddit then? Check mate, idiot.

stay salty 😝

So they should be paid in shares and dividends, and when the company does poorly they can eat less, right?

Isn't this how the entire service sector works and has worked for a century? Just replace apps with signed cards, club memberships and catalogues.

Capitalism is like any other religion, it had its use before we got to this point in civilization, but now is no longer serviceable to our society and can/should be phased out.

When it was nothing to go into a village and rape and murder without any recourse, scaring “the unescapable fear of God” was pretty much the most society could use to mitigate the pure, unhinged chaos that was our species.

In the same light, when resources were scarce and our species was trying to build an optimal functional society, capitalism was a fantastic tool for getting our society on track. However, with nearly every one of our resource needs being automated in the near future and not much need for actual human labor, capitalism, at least in its current form, is completely unsustainable.

Now that both have less and less use in the future and seem to be vehicles for corruption and misuse of power over others, the time has come for our society to gradually move on from both.

An interesting observation I’ve noticed is that the more developed a nation becomes, the more this sentiment is backed up and supported. The most developed countries are recognizing more and more than religion serves less and less of a purpose in our everyday lives, and the implementation of UBI and similar ideas grows in support.

If we don’t kill off the planet (temporarily) it’s going to be one interesting century.

who hurt you 😢

i don't what you are talking about and you don't know what i believe

if you have something to say then say it

Oooooooh, you caught me, zir. Yes, sloppy punctuation is a privilege %

Theorists and philosophers don't get to choose.

And whatever a government does, other governments will ignore.

If AI is powerful and the US says, let's go slowly in this, let's be ethical, then letter countries will not.

Capitalism is a system that requires infinite growth so in the long run is unsustainable because we have finite resources.

You clearly don’t understand what capitalism is. Selling and buying products, money being exchanged, is market that precede capitalism in thousands of years and it exist where capitalism is no more.

> planned / government run economies don’t work and history shows that, and if everything was run by the government that would basically stifle innovation and destroy the middle and upper classes.

That’s not true at all. GPS, cellphone, internet, computers, cars, etc was created using government funding, sometimes private companies do create something but it’s rarely without government money because innovation it’s risky and a lot of times unprofitable.

Soviet Union went from a heavy agricultural country to launch a man in space in 30 years while being invaded by nazis and being the vanguard of modern labor rights.

The British empire was strong because their government used it’s funding to conquer and pillage on foreign territory. US is strong because it’s government use their budget to fuel the most powerful military the world has ever seen, a tool used to invade other countries to steal resources and fuel their economy. It’s called imperialism.

I recommend you to go to the world bank website and look at the GPD growth, hunger and unemployment rate of the socialist countries that exist today (Cuba, China, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam). You will see how a planned economy run.

I invite you chat with me and ask questions about it. See I didn’t use any opinion here just verifiable facts.

What, an AGI will basically have all the computing power of hundreds of thousands of computers.

Well when that concept is a lie used to keep you from realizing how your community is being robbed...

​

And I agree were not arguing, youre so far out of your depth you should be thanking me for even bothering.

Altman said break not disappear. You think people want to give up their rights and ownership to properties? In any case, it will test our system until we need reforms. It will test us to show us that if we don't adapt chaos will manifest.

Thanx McFly! Haven’t read that yet—but will add it to my list 📗

How am i being an asshole? I’m responding in (Imo) a nice way to the responses i recieved.

How is finding admiration and inspiration in a concept being "sold?"

You're only arguing with yourself bud.

Your Tesla example - well, all of your examples, really - is far from any kind of illustration of capitalism losing relevance. Capitalism is the underpinning of the everpresent costs of all of those all of those things.

The first instance of AGI isn't going to replace all those employees, it will only have the capacity of a single human. For this reason we'll see them start selling access to it (the trend has already begun) and then sell "personal assistants". Holding onto AGI until it's sufficient to replace all the company's workers would risk losing out to a competitor that releases theirs to the public. Once everyone has one of these personal assistants it's no longer possible to close AGI off to the world.

May I suggest the book “where’s my flying car” by J. Stores Hall ?

It wouldn't be for free. Those employees are doing the work that is making the business run so why shouldn't they have some ownership in their work. Why should the person that started it reap all the profit from it when they are doing it on the backs of the workers?

And CEO’s have a lot of responsibilities. Without Tim Cook making the right desicions, there would be no apple.
