It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

Individuals provide society with productivity and the ability to fight. In return, society protects the individuals by pooling these resources together, which amplifies the benefits for everyone.

This is true of every system - capitalism, communism, socialism, etc. And also true for animal societies.

But when AGI happens, society no longer needs most individuals. Which means there is no incentive to take care of them.

Yup. When machines can do what the poors used to there's no reason to tolerate poors anymore.

This is only true if you measure value in terms of economic output.

Which most do. You also have value in terms of militarily output, but again I don't think poors (espically one getting fre gibs) are going to be in shape enough much less willing to serve.

I think that our values run deeper than that, even if so far we've used the wheel of productivity as a proxy for human flourishing. Now that the great decoupling has happened, it's time to rethink the appropriateness of the proxy and find a better human-centered system. Like switching from looking at GDP to things like Gini coefficients and other population well-being metrics. Once we can hook the AGI to these metrics, we can get to a post-scarcity world.

There's even less reason to tolerate the lower classes in a post scarcity world! You have literally no need for them and they fuck up your life by committing crimes and using up land!

Inb4: buh muh crime caused by poverty!

I don't think the AGI overlords will have the guts to wipe most of us out and living in an endless empty land by themselves without seeing or interacting with anyone They have eachother lmao.

You don't understand the contempt they have for the "useless eaters". All sorts of problems would be solved for them. Overfishing, pollution, crime, global warming etc. Earth would be a paradise for them.

Yup.

It's very interesting that these people in charge don't see how they would be the “useless eaters” in a dystopian scenario that involves any technological dark age.

Nobody cares if you are a big ceo in the wasteland….they'd rather have a plumber or mechanic any day in their group.

Oh my god Tv has brain rotted so many people. A world were CEO control AGI (and I'm assuming machines that the AGI can use to interact with the world at large) is one were the CEO rules like a king. He doesn't care what you think because you don't matter.

That's a very capitalist perspective. I think taking care of everyone shouldn't be predicated on what they can provide to society, but just because taking care of everyone is the right thing to do for empathetic reasons, and for the good of our species as a whole.

How is good for the species as a whole? Walk me thru this.

We need to move away from judging people's worth based on their productivity, or whatever nebulous "value" they offer to society.

Retarded.

Also, something most of the capital owning classes fail to realise when judging the worth of people, is that without resources the vast majority of people can't participate in the economy, and when the economy falters capital becomes meaningless. That is if no one is buying anything, because they don't have money, there's no profit and if there's no profit there's no investment, and if there's no investment capital ceases to be meaningful.

None of which matters in a world were you can order your robot army to go mine some gold for you.

It's not just productivity that makes the lower classes important.

It's that and being cannon fodder.

If there are fewer and fewer jobs available thanks to AGI (or whatever), then it is only logical to provide the lower classes with a universal income. Because otherwise the economy would collapse.

Or all the money would simply move to the upper classes.

well, if AGI does everything for us, and it's intelligent enough to understand human needs and psychology, don't forget to include "Therapy/counseling/economics" are also things it can handle for us. Humans don't have the will to give out UBI because AGI is doing everything for us? Well AGI might have the will to do it for us, even if the current elite class who controls society doesn't.

Lol no. No one is going to let their WMD level AI just decide to be a libtard.

Humans lose the ability to socialize and fend for themselves because AGI provides all our needs? seems like AGI needs to be taught to coax us to interact and socialize with other humans and rely on it minimally for social needs.

These people are mental children, endlessly looking for a new tit to suckle at.

Doesnt AGI require everyones input though? All that data... its not like a bunch of dorks are re-writing all hustory in a basement. Thats years and years and years of information - provided by the likes of you and me - that AI is using. In effect, it very much requires us, and is also owned by us. No?

No!

Link to video -

Link to sub for the sub for the star wards hotel - reddit.com/r/GalacticStarcruiser

You don't need to watch the video - just know that she fricking hated the hotel and found it was not worth 6000 dollars, according to summaries I read.

The funniest part is the Disney adults in the sub who are coping hard. I don't need to link to anything because it's literally all over the front page. This is amplified by the base level of cope for the hotel closing.

It cost 6000 dollars for two nights in a shitty hotel with no windows and cruise ship size rooms btw

I tend to think soy boys don't really feel that happy and are exaggerating mild happiness in order to mask their existential misery.

Like maybe there's been a few instances of moments of pure joy where the right photographer might have lucked out and caught me doing a soy gape, but the only occasions I can think of are moments where friends/family/pets have done something spontaneously funny. Never when <latest thing=""> has been announced. And certainly never while looking directly at the camera.</latest>

But scepticism aside, here's what gets me closest to soygaping:

Coffee

I am an unashamed coffee snob. I have a >£4,000 espresso setup including a La Mazzocco Linea Mini and a Eureka Atom grinder and I totally soy out over the process of making espresso and also pour over coffee.

This is one area where I frequently lie to my wife and connive to spend money without her knowing because she wouldn't understand if she knew the true cost of this hobby.

Me inside when my coffee arrives in the post:

Volvos

I love Volvos. I love seeing other people's Volvos. I like old Volvos and new Volvos. I've got a moose sticker on my Volvo.

I am looking forward to getting the new Volvo EX30 very soon, and hoping they release some electric wagons so I can continue my Volvo wagon habit into the future.

I just can't see myself ever buying any other manufacturer. They're not the fastest or the highest end, but man are they practical and well-designed.

Me when I'm driving my Volvo and I see another Volvo or I'm watching the early reviews of the new EX90:

Manly Scents

I've got an unopened bottle of Gaultier² which is my absolute favourite.

I want to clone myself and have s*x with myself every time I sniff myself. So hot.

They've relaunched it, but it apparently doesn't smell the same as the original so I'm saving it for a special occasion. Either that or selling it to some other nerd for £400+.

Burberry London is another favourite.

Not just sprays though. Anykind of manly shower gel or beard oil, etc. Even the rare manly scented candle just gets me soying out like:

How about you? What gets you soygaping, either literally or in your mind?

Jesus, what the heck is with artists and their featurings?

It credits the entire band, and the lead singer, and the lead singer of the band.

YOU CANNOT BE A *FEATURING* ON YOUR OWN BAND, MARIA.

Darn it.

I'm still looking but according to the 9chuds this is an actual company in the same vein as SweetBabyInc

Like last season it's time to look back on everyone's predictions from the predictions thread.

@SubsequentlySneeds I'd say was the closest out of everyone who made a prediction and @HetsAreFeds was also close with his limited prediction.
