No one can predict what the future of our economy is going to look like, so no one can answer this really. UBI will probably be used temporarily as we transition from our current socio-economic system into whatever the future world of AI economics looks like, but I doubt that UBI, or even the concept of money as we know it now, is going to be around for long.

It's impossible to say because we don't know exactly what that world looks like. If someone asked you in the mid 1990s to describe what new jobs the internet was going to bring, would you have been able to answer? Of course not. Silly question.

idk, ask ChatGPT

As do we all

By "we", in this context, people are generally referring to Western Civilization as a whole, not just the USA. That being said, it IS the USA that's making all the major advances in AI right now, is it not?

ASI is not something we will create, it's something AGI will. Once AGI is a reality, our job is pretty much finished

Yeah I don't see Microsoft Copilot taking any jobs, it will make some jobs easier and move them from like 85% downtime that they are now to like 99% downtime instead though, lol.

Truthfully, even before AI starts making waves, I feel like there are many office jobs now that basically just exist so someone can not be unemployed and are completely unnecessary.

It really doesn't matter who signed the letter, because it's not going to pause, and doing so would be catastrophically stupid

This is the very beginning though. I bet digital camera manufacturers thought nothing of cellphones at first. I bet Blockbuster (if you are old enough to even remember it) thought nothing of Netflix at first. It might be a few niche jobs that go first, but many many more are going to quickly follow.

Italy more like Ltaly now

THIS is the type of stuff we should be doing. Collaborating, not 'calling for a pause' so that we can all try to catch up to our competitors. We still have no idea how we're going to solve alignment, and our best chance is going to be to all work together on it. I'm glad there's SOME sensibility on this Earth still.

That's not how AI and the future works, these technologies are far too widespread and ubiquetous to only be limited to a select few for very long, and when they ARE only available to a select few, they are at a stage where they don't work very well anyways. Look at cellphones. It's just like that, but much faster.

Why won't people let NFTs just die they are literally pointless

This comment is going to look pretty dumb in like a year, if that
