@karomancer friction from doing your own thing is satisfying... slaving away for others isn't. The hope is AI allows us to do more of the former than the later.
@Thejimpenman No rich country has pushed fertility back above replacement (2.1) and kept it there.
Sweden (1990) and the US (2007) briefly touched ~2.1, then fell back. Hungary spent ~5% of GDP, got 1.23โ1.61, and is now ~1.3.
@Cristina_AC_X Not all humans want to compete for status. Most people have a job to survive and honestly don't enjoy it. Some people will do things, but I don't think we will call it a job
@DavidPocock You want more regulation, to make us less productive and stick to an old paradigm. AI will change society and the economy in deeply profound ways. Pandora's box has been opened and there's no closing it. We need to embrace this new world bravely or risk being left behind.
@asxpeasant Agree 100%. it's offensive to have to move out of your family home once you are retired because you can't afford a land tax. You worked hard for your home, you should be able to keep it.
@asxpeasant High immigration results in high rental demand, not high property prices. Credit expansion cycle is what makes property increase in price.. we are now in the property counter cycle and it will take years for things to settle. By then immigration will have dropped and AI arrived.
@misraetel I think ASI comes after recursive self improvement. I also think that what you describe as AHI is required before mass job disruption occurs at the operational level.
