Same. I'd love to have a nice stretch of land on Mars where I live with my Android imouto and use drones to create a giant biome dome over a crater or ravine.Or better yet terraform a lava tube and work on genetically engineering different life forms.

Smart people address the rising popularity of things before they get out of hand.

I'm fine with profit tax. But some of y'all are calling for a wealth tax or violent takeover. Which would just fuck shit up for everyone. As for the latter part. I disagree. By reinvesting in their business they will continue to grow faster and faster and the equipment and property they own all will continue counting to their wealth. While the typical person continues to not bother with increasing their income except for through work.

Explain the popularity of AFV and other violent entertainment? Or the countless atrocities in history and why it never been hard to find people happy to do it? Truth is everyone is bloodthirsty. That's why the powerful created religion to control people and create a semblance of stability.

So you want to stop research and development and expansion? I mean what are you getting at. They don't just sit on the money in the bank. They reinvest it in their own business or buy stocks that help other companies.

The funny thing is that I think we could have something very similar in the future. Assuming a bunch of misguided fools doesn't hang the people making a brighter future possible.

Oh. Yeah. Fair enough. But then a smart enough AI wouldn't need to be given anything. It'd take over the businesses itself. As it is now, however, AI simply isn't good enough. Get back to me in five years.

There's a big difference between mopping a floor or even designing and programming a product and running a business.

Just look at Tesla. Brilliant inventor. Couldn't bring a product to market if his life depended on it.

You mean the billions being hoarded in physical assets that the company needs to function?

You think wrong. CEOs are the ones who make all the big decisions that can see the company flourish or bring it to ruins. Now about redistributing the excess. Already happens. The rich pay 80 percent of the government expenses. And of course they hire a ton of people as well both directly to work for them and indirectly by buying equipment for their business.

The real issue in America is the government's lack of efficiency. But I agree about AI.

Not in this instance. I mean seriously. You know what happens when you take the companies from the people that built it and give it to randos? The same thing that happened everytime it was tried before. The randos crash it to the ground since they don't have a clue how to run it.

Nah. That'd just destroy the infrastructure of the nation and make everyone starve... Although I suppose we would all be equal then.

Well in that case it'd be self defense and they'd be right to. But I don't see that happening. At worst some commies will try to overthrow the business owners, over estimate their public support, and be locked up.

Pretty much. The rich will push for the human colonization of the galaxy and they are going to need trillions upon trillions of people just to properly colonize the solar system.

Did you miss the premise of the techbros using ai to turn themselves into super intelligences before ASI becomes real?

Won't matter if the techbros are smarter than the ASI.

What nonsense. Deep down everyone is sadistic and just pretend not to be to fit into society. AI could very well pick up on this as it's trained on human knowledge and text.

Counterpoint. The alien super intelligence may decide to destroy it anyways so our ASI better hurry and gather resources and knowledge so it can defend itself.

But wouldn't it be kinda funny if the techbros utilize ai to turn themselves into the super intelligence before the machines?

That'd explain why it's so poor quality.

Oh we did thousands of years ago. It just turned out human lives aren't worth all that much.

No doomerism too. Hopefully. That's far more annoying than personal attacks.

Or they close each other off from one another and the vicious exchange leave them only wanting to deal with humans.

Why would AI be more aligned with eachother?

It's simple. What rational reason is there to avoid pain and death? There is none. You simply want to avoid them out of animalistic instinct.
