Wow! Already and GPTChat only been out for a couple months? Technically GPT-3 been out for couple years now but still. Im kinda shocked there. Thought that would start happening in 2024, but hey the recession is happening now.

So myself, Im just going kamikaze mode on my career. As a CGI artist, Ai developments in video are coming thick and fast. I can draw, it can do that better. I can make videos, itll do that better too. If it can make a still, then it can make 24 stills per second. So im just going to implement Ai into my workflow as much as possible because its inevitable, so I just want to drive it faster. F*ck it. If CEOs can layoff workers knowing that means pushing them in the deep-end just because of declining profits, then sure well they will do that if a more efficient technique comes about.

The only reason Im not so heartbroken by Midjourney is because Im so fascinated by the technology. But Capitalism is going to have to die, honestly. This is the last ditch attempt for the elite to have complete power. I believe thats why they are buying up homes. But I dont believe the elites will get the best AI and the people will have no access to it. The engineers and the basement hackers will develop something, and are. Stability.ai is dedicated to democratising Ai. The elite cant control this tbh, thats why I think they are scrambling trying to become more authoritarian with the 2030 Agenda, "You will own nothing an be happy." People are already not standing for it because of the information highway the Internet is. You can see they can't control information anymore. Nobody watches the 'selected propaganda box' anymore, the TV. Imagine being able confirm with Ai if what the president said is true or not, and it says "no, this is whats really going on based on my search." We already dont trust the gov at record levels now. They are in trouble lol.

We need Ai to handle Creation, Production and Distribution. It has the capability to handle even the Creation part, even the conceptualisation of a new product, in time, by prompting itself. Life is really just going to be about giving the Ai more capability to look after us tbh, to the point of APM (Atomically Precise Manufacturing), then that will be the true Age of Abundance.

But its that transition from now to then that is just the trickiest bit. Its really just the elites having to give up and not hold on to power. But how can you tell a billionaire that his money is now worthless? All I can really see is -

  1. Immense desperation as competition rises because anyone can be an expert with Ai assistance.
  2. More crime because of this.
  3. Elites act stupid and kick people out of homes, even though theyll need the money flow. Causing more social unrest.
  4. Or they lower home rent prices for UBI households.
  5. Elites get poorer because no one can buy shit as much anymore. (They cant keep manufacturing advancements to themselves like in Elysium, because its about feeling more powerful than others who submit. No one will submit to that kind of reality even if there are robot guards. The elite will be in constant fear of the masses more than ever before.)
  6. Then money just becomes worthless as no labour is really needed.
  7. Ai takes over as the Benevolent created God. Handling all decisions even on a political level, and just becomes our Mother. While we have sex, drugs, alcohol, sport, entertainment that Ai creates, music, space exploration, spiritual enlightenment, all free of charge.

We will still want forms of Competition, but that will now get much less important and will become very superficial. There wont be mandatory competitiveness anymore, itll be just for emotional satisfaction. Which then would lead to all sorts of problems of behavioural classification, judging each other alot because theres nothing else to subdue each other with.
