@andrewpprice@Noahpinion Suppose AI evolves to a point that it’s superior (even after considering cost, etc) to anyone but the top 0.00001%, the rat race to be in the top 10 or 1% becomes moot. It will never completely go away but the rules of the game will see a huge sea change
@fredyfredo123@Satyaki_R Nope it just means we will have an increasingly 0.001% dominated economy. Success is increasingly dependent on existing status/capital rather than any knowledge based social movement.
@MaxMBJ@thedannistar@SeanTrende We should “de-nativize” those not pulling their weight. I want A-teamers not deadweights clinging to hard work their ancestors did.
@MaxMBJ@SeanTrende How about the 5th generation that’s half illiterate or not pulling their IQ weight. Should we strip citizenship and deport? After all, you didn’t choose to be born here. Why should you get credit for it?
@arcticinstincts Oh right the same Chinese that invented the supposed “four great civilizations” and still couldn’t find one iota of evidence for the supposed “Xia” dynasty? Cool story bro
@JeffLadish Because their track record of upholding any agreement has been shoddy at best for the past 50 years. Until a Chinese Jeffrey Ladish can make a similar post without consequence on a Chinese X, we should keep a “zero trust and verify” posture.
@bingxu_ The point is the West must treat the AI field as an existential battle with China. We can disagree about strategy but it would be moot if the overarching goal is not decisively set. There is no ambiguity and no both sideism here.
