I feel like I need to go through this thing<\/a>:<\/p>\n

People are tool-builders with an inherent drive to understand and create, which leads to the world getting better for all of us.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Most people are not. The number of people with a drive to understand and create is small. So AI doesn\u2019t help a majority of folks. It kind of destroys their world. Thinking \u201cthat\u2019s too bad\u201d is kind of sociopathic.<\/p>\n

\n

the economic growth in front of us looks astonishing, and we can now imagine a world where we cure all diseases, have much more time to enjoy with our families, and can fully realize our creative potential.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We already have had absurd economic growth. We\u2019re already curing all diseases. We already have more time with families. What we don\u2019t have is access to far more stability and sustainability. So many people have two jobs and can\u2019t finish the month for fuck\u2019s sake, Sam. That\u2019s what the fuck is missing; a wealth shared directly and efficiently to most, not exclusively shared by a bunch of folks with yachts. Can AI help with spreading wealth? Yes, but it\u2019s mostly about the social systems around it, not AI itself. Talk about that shit, man.<\/p>\n

\n

the price of luxury goods and a few inherently limited resources like land may rise even more dramatically.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Who gives a damn about luxury goods, really? Hierarchy and status are 1900s shenanigans. And why land would rise dramatically? Bury and stack your data centers, the fuck? Or are you thinking about becoming a literal landlord, preventing people from being off the grid and happy? I can see that scenario as well.<\/p>\n

\n

In particular, it does seem like the balance of power between capital and labor could easily get messed up, and this may require early intervention.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s not may<\/em>, it\u2019s needed. Right now. It doesn\u2019t seem like<\/em>, it already did! 2018 graduates can\u2019t find more than internships and contract work. It is horrifying that the leading AI company\u2019s CEO doesn\u2019t see the contributing impact of its product in the current real world. But sees it as a probability.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s frustrating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
