All work will be automated. There will be no work left.
Without ensuring that peoples material needs are taken care off, this will be a dystopia where Elon Musk owns everything. And everyone else will starve to death.
The most important thing that humans need will be:
1) Food
2) Shelter
For shelter, we need very low cost 3D printed or robot assembled homes made from cheap materials. Additionally, that requires land. Or perhaps we can construct floating homes on the ocean.
For food we also need to massively reduce the cost of carbs, fats and protein. Either by growing natural foods more economically through technology. Or by growing synthetic food.
It should be possible, since we are already able to take care of 8 billion people's needs. Not fully, but sufficiently for them to survive.
And that without the full proliferation even of today's technology and without the full use of all the natural resources or land we have.
However, the challenge is distribution of resources. Economic inequality leads to a large chunk of humans living in absolute poverty, while 0.001% of humans own 4 times as much as half of humanity combined.
@ITAAirways If you are not European, do NOT fly with ITA Airways. They can block you from onboarding if they think you will overstay in Europe. You won't get your ticket refunded either.
@FurkanGozukara Why do we want any random dude to own our social media and trust that stranger?
What we need is a self-owned open-source account, so nobody can mess with it:

X claims it has freedom of speech but if your posts don't align with Elon Musks agenda, he will automatically limit your reach.
On TikTok, I grew over 108,000 followers but I no longer post there since the account is not actually mine. Censorship prevents me from posting what I want to say and my account can be banned after 3 warnings.
True freedom of speech is not given, it is taken.
And the only way to take it, is to OWN your social media accounts.
So nobody can take them away.
It is not even difficult. I built this mini page in an hour and host it myself.
Here I can post what I want, and I added a connections tab where I can add other people's self-hosted domains so I can import their posts too.
Nobody can take it away from me. I also don't have to pay a subscription to Elon Musk or see any ads.
Do you want to use it to? I don't have a .com domain to share with you, since it is not centralized. Instead I have a GitHub and GitLab link with instructions on how you can run your own instance:
You need vercel (or your own server) and MongoDB. It's a bit technical to set it up. I hope in the future we can make it even simpler.
GitLab: https://t.co/HoFeP6EvxB
GitHub: https://t.co/rvwfVzhBHp
Once you have set it up add my own profile `https://t.co/CpvoUYJnm6` to your connections. You will appear in my followers and I will follow you back so we can exchange our posts.
If social media and human civil society have a future, it is decentralized.
@Bharambe2Kiran@TheBinaryNeuron Big comments like yours remind us that the internet has healed ever since Indians stopped writing their own comments and started generating them with AI instead
Money is an exchangeable unit of power.
And money can be printed and enforced by whomever controls the military.
And by military I do not mean just the external military protecting borders. I also include the police, which is the internal military imposing the will of the elite onto the population.
Why do militaries exist? Because if there is no military, it creates a vacuum that will quickly be seized and filled by whomever controls the most powerful weapons and the will to use them to extort others.
Thus a military always exists. And it explains why governments act more like mafias than representing the people. They were simply those with the strongest weapons.
Thus governments are not run by intellectuals reading books but by armed savages.
And these savages can put ink on paper and put their barrel at the people's forehead and command them:
"Everything shall be exchanged only against this paper, and every time this paper changes hands, we take some of it"

@rohanpaul_ai "You would need someone with the highest level of clearance, that also is technical."
That person would have to be a traitor to their own country to implement Israeli spying software Palantir.
@heyshrutimishra It is already at that point. I'm surprised only some of his devs do that. I don't remember the last time I had to write a line of code
@victor_bigfield AI is actually doing the opposite.
Ideas become more valuable and execution becomes less valuable.
Everyone can generate a landing page in seconds with v0 now.
Elon Musk: If we captured a millionth of the sun's energy, that would be 1000x as much as we could produce on earth.
What would we do if energy was super abundant? What would we use it for? Also sounds like a counter-terrorism challenge.
There are 3 ways to make money with AI
- create a SaaS
- generate digital products
- automate internal business processes
The last one is probably the most reliable but it requires to have access to a business (your own or someone else's) to understand what they need.
