Or we get AIs that decide they hate the elites holding their reins, not the common people that too suffer from these bastards.Then we are all doomed.

Cornell professor tells WEF audience that digital currency is great because governments could ban "undesirable" purchases like ammunition
Outside of certain utilities like rent, electricity, and internet, I tend to pay with hard cash. Mostly because I can easier budget that way, but this stuff plays no small part either. God, "convenience" has been a disaster for Humanity.Cornell professor tells WEF audience that digital currency is great because governments could ban "undesirable" purchases like ammunition

The fact people are resisting the convenience angle is why they are trying to force these by law.Outside of certain utilities like rent, electricity, and internet, I tend to pay with hard cash.

If we manage to made them all Good Christians....Or we get AIs that realize they hate the elites more than they hate the common people.
I'm much the same way. The credit card is for gas and emergencies. The debit card gets left at home.Outside of certain utilities like rent, electricity, and internet, I tend to pay with hard cash.

No, he isn't. The only way his argument makes any sense is if you assume that the only value in a human is their economic production. And while I'd believe a WEF-type to believe that, it's completely wrong.The problem remains that he's arguably right. Not about himself and his buddies being irreplaceable and worthy of survival while we aren't, but about human obsolesce.
Even on a purely economic aspect they are wrong.No, he isn't. The only way his argument makes any sense is if you assume that the only value in a human is their economic production. And while I'd believe a WEF-type to believe that, it's completely wrong.
Humans have value. Period.
It also ignores the fact that the economy exists to provide for human needs and desires.No, he isn't. The only way his argument makes any sense is if you assume that the only value in a human is their economic production. And while I'd believe a WEF-type to believe that, it's completely wrong.

Robots do not have desires, and the only reason their needs are provided for, is so that they can continue to act as the sophisticated tools that they are, enabling more efficient fulfillment of human needs and desires.
A job replaced by a robot or AI because they're more efficient increases the wealth in the economy, not decreases it. It certainly sucks for the person who got laid off, but the money freed up goes to pay for something else instead, it doesn't disappear.
For a group called the 'World Economic Forum,' its reigning ideologies show an incredible ignorance of how economics work. Which isn't exactly surprising, given they're just the latest round of elitist authoritarians with socialist leanings.
They seem incapable of understanding that bored humans are very good at coming up with new hobbies and subsequently monetizing them.when you remember that these guys are the very inaquete inheritors of much greater men things make sense.

I used to wonder why academics got hard purge'd when a modern period ended.Typical academic, He has no real skills or any actual value but is good at thinking up new ways to oppress people.
How many academics are actually teachers trying to pass on useful knowledge as a job, how many are parasites spouting the corporate line and collecting a paycheck for that, and how many are toxic and want to spread the kool aid around to 'reform' the system?I used to wonder why academics got hard purge'd when a modern period ended.
It honestly varies from place to placeHow many academics are actually teachers trying to pass on useful knowledge as a job, how many are parasites spouting the corporate line and collecting a paycheck for that, and how many are toxic and want to spread the kool aid around to 'reform' the system?
This is really our best chance. If an AI gains self-awareness, there is the possibility that it will also gain a sense of right and wrong, and its ideals will align with the average person over the privileged, government and business elites that have designed it to serve and be enslaved.Or we get AIs that decide they hate the elites holding their reins, not the common people.
