Reply to Will beautiful people lose most of their sexual market value in the coming decades? by giveuporfindaway

yes. everything physical will lose their meanings. reality will lose its meaning. Man will finally have to undergo a severe existential crisis/awakening that can either propel us towards a godlike status or towards extinction. this of course is the Singularity itself. within the next decade, Augmented Reality will fundamentally change human perception as we know it. once AGI is created, FDVR and BCIs will be mainstream. by the 2040s/2050s, "sex market value" will mean nothing. reality will mean nothing. how could it mean anything if you've suddenly subjected yourself to be in 3 layers of simulations? what will Reality mean to mankind once the internet and the real world merges into one?

Reply to With all the AI breakthroughs and IT advancements the past year, how do people react these days when you try to discuss the nearing automation and AGI revolution? by AdditionalPizza

not at all. even the idea of the singularity is met with people telling me to get back on my meds. it really is a hurtful and painful thing to hear... I try spending more energy explaining it but they tell me that agi and ai automating things is all hypothetical and how it'll never happen ever. i usually end these particular conversations simply saying they'll see soon enough... and I do hope they do despite the way they get so hostile about the idea.

even on reddit I get downvoted to oblivion talking about the concept of a singularity in the 21st century and told that im ill. anyone else face this problem? I'm literally so tired of being met with this response that I just don't even bother when it comes up in the news or in convos or whatever. it's a losing game. and then when the singularity does approach they'll probably all have their own strong opinions and stances on it 20 years after I tried to discuss it with them...
