It might make sense to talk about how to prepare for the short term automation that will come, but I don't see much sense in preparing for the singularity.

​

Singularity might come in 20 years, 50, or 200. Maybe we'll be alive at that time, maybe not.
Is there any safe assumptions we can make that make things better for us after singularity without making things worse before it?

What if it takes 200 years and we die before it?
I think that the best approach to take with tech is take in to account short term tech coming (More automation, new kind of content creation, etc...) but not go too far, because going to far is never safe.

​

I mean, you talk about live extention. That's great. Maybe en 50 years everyone will be virtually inmortal. But it's totally possible that we see something far more conservative, like a 10 years increase in live expectancy.

​

Hope for the better, prepare for the worst (?) haha.

​

And above all don't risk your long term safety for short term gains hoping for singularity to make things good for you in the future (Like...spending all your money now, because you think money will have no sense in the future)

​

​

Also, talking about short/medium term things have the advantage of making you sound a tiny bit less crazy (There is crazy things coming! But you can already show some kind of preview of those crazy things)

​

Let things like LEV and ASI and Singularity where they belong, in this sub :P
