Zeitgeist is an interesting film on this concept among many others.

Ahh, the post scarcity society, I too dream of such a day.

Saving the world with ideas and journalism using TikTok. I wish you the best of luck my sweet, sweet child. May you save us all.

I'm not the guy who was being a dick to you, but could you explain me some more?

Is it possible the president did direct this action and we just don't know? Since it's in his authority?

And, also, why does it seem like the president is flipping back and forth on oil, like, allowing this to happen under his watch when he just interrupted pipelines a bit ago to fight big oil no? Shouldn't Biden veto or cancel or whatever this auction if he's anti oil?

They do in China and India, they sell canned oxygen.

Has anyone found out yet how to build and operate a vacuum tube several hundred kilometers long?

Not to be a downer, but I would be happy if they could figure out how to run trains at 30mph and on a regular schedule. If anyone has a bulletproof system for this, please contact the MBTA.

I guess if it's true that consciousness is a cognitive ability, but I don't really think we have any idea what consciousness is or where it comes from. I guess "most likely" it's some kind of cognitive ability, so I hear you there, but I leave that out of my idea of AGI because it's all conjecture. For all I know consciousness comes from your liver.

America already doesn't build high speed railway. Why is it going to build one guy's stupid one person subway?

Are we humans useful to each other?

Provided we are, there will always be work in providing value to others. What that work is its hard to say, but it wont be Labour.

Carbon credits are a stupid ass system.

Submission Statement:

Hyperloop technology is a proposed ultra-high-speed mode of transportation that could revolutionize how people travel, offering speeds of up to 700 miles per hour with minimal carbon emissions. In this Interesting Engineering interview with the president of HYPED, a student initiative dedicated to making hyperloop technology a reality, we learn about the cutting-edge technology and prototypes being developed, as well as the potential benefits and obstacles to the hyperloop's implementation. From reducing long-distance traffic to acting as a transportation safety net during natural disasters, hyperloop technology has the potential to transform how we live and move, and it's exciting to see how student-led initiatives like HYPED are driving the technology forward.

Like every nation does, like every nation should - obviously US interests have the most power backing behind them, so we're are more likley to see those interests come to fruition.

See that's not terrifying to me... That sounds awesome.

This is the take that drives me fucking insane...

We're not just going to roll over and AI just overtakes the world... That's not how this is going to work. We have ChatGPT that hired a person to beat a captcha and that TERRIFIED many top level AI developers and now there's this proposed moratorium until we discuss as a species how to move forward. Seriously, people think we're just going to attach AI to the nukes and end the world? Fear mongering and problem-focused thinking does nothing but stifle progression. If there's a problem, we fucking SOLVE IT. That's what we do.

Living longer is no good if your body fails you. I’m only in my 50s and notice the difference in my ability to do things.

I wouldn’t want to live till I’m 100 if I’m in pain all the time and have to wear nappies.

I don’t see an issue with population stagnating, especially if wealth can distributed more easily and fairly. Nobody needs to be a Billionaire. I’m not suggesting Communist type equality but a Star Trek kind of culture would be the goal.

The health system is already adapting to the demands of ageing population and lack of Healthcare worker population. Healthcare will start to revert away from hospitals and into Home care and from treatment to prevention.

Nestle is working on that I bet!

Yeah, what you can do about it is benefiting from the excess productivity and do what you want... Something that isn't work lol.

It will take drastic socio-economic change but that's the ideal to strive for.

That isn’t what happened.

You're being downvoted for being right >.<

You're conflating a natural law with something that is inherently not natural and in fact a system like this imposes a lack of a need for selection.

Why does it matter if you re-create it? Someone else isn't making that thing for the purpose of making money, they're just making it because they want to.

I argue that the entire concept of economy and currency will die.
