No, open source is more of a libertarian model. No one is forced to work on open source.

Your inability to prove your point unlike my posts shows you to be ignorant

Yes it since every instance of communism which is far left has been totalitarian without exception

Germans under Hitler had more freedoms than those under communist regimes

I think it has been obvious that is where things are going for a while.

Anyways, as far as the low wage workers. The problem is, none of that you can live off of. Like back in the 60s you could legit buy a house with a yearly salary of a waiter. It wasn't a great house, but it was possible. Today you have to work 3 or 4 jobs to just afford enough to live.

If we don't get ubi or the end of money after a given point it really will be the have and have not.

I don't know but this piece of advice has helped guide me over the years: "the person knows how will always find a job, but the person who knows why will always be their boss." Also, don't take on student debt if you can avoid it--that'll just hamstring your options as time goes by. Personally I think AI will usher in a new era--just like the PC and the internet did--and like before we'll adapt and learn to leverage digital tools; creating new jobs/industries. I suspect the AI trajectory will be similar.

Everyone wants cheap products made by armies of high paid employees doing jobs machines can do faster and more safely.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

> totalitarianism ( far left )

It's not far left. Nazi Germany was totalitarian and they were on the far right. Any left or right wing leader can be a dictator/totalitarian.

> OSS is literally work performed without the incentive of profit

Do you ever have visited china? The big cities are pretty advanced and the internet connection is superb.

The apps they use are also pretty good and convenient. China is using the internet and apps to tighten its grip on the general population.

Germany is stuck in the 1990s if we compare it to china in this regard.

We germans can't even get rid of faxing machines lmfao.

OSS is literally work performed without the incentive of profit, often purposely for the benefit of others / the greater good.

It's got zero to do with business. Keep grasping.

Platonism argues that we live in a world of ideas. That things like math or information are extant entities instead of shortcuts we use to describe more involved phenomenons.

Materialism believes that we live in a world of matter. That matter is primary and everything else are shorthand of how matter behaves through time.

Materialism does not believe even in the possibility of things like souls, essence... software.

It does matter whether we live in a materialistic or a platonic universe. In one case Uploading yourself is killing yourself, in another it is living forever without the need of pesky mediums.

It is a rather core question which will show up eventually.

And yeah Materialism can be quite sollipsistic (but not exclusively, for example it does not deny the existence of other experiences as valid, merely as not very relevant once said piece of matter ceases)...

If that day does come, I will not hesitate to become part of the hive mind.

As I looked up at the great figures on those murals, I realized that I would never have the opportunity to become great in this life except by merging my will with theirs. I longed for a powerful will in the world, and then I could follow the guidance of that powerful will - it was an incredible blessing to be a part of it.

why are muricans complaining? this is the capitalism they love so much.

Streamlining the process from meat to new burgers

idk seems more like a solipsistic point of view than a platonic one

(i actually consider myself a bit of a platonist, in particular i think the distinction between space of ideas/math our brains/gpt navigates and physical space we move through might be a bit more subtle than it seems on the surface, but i don't think that really makes any difference to present discussion (well, not in the way you seem to be arguing it, actually i think it could almost go in the opposite direction... abstract world might be a bit more material than first suspected))

A large number of robots, yes. At a certain level in automation, most goods will be able to be produced without human effort involved. At which point, it doesn't make sense to require people to contribute to society in order to procure said goods.

There would obviously limits to how much one person can procure, as robots would not have infinite energy and matter, but post-scarcity never meant that all goods would be availably freely and cheaply, just most of them. The ones for our basic survival and a significant proportion of our other desires.

UBI would be the first step, and once implemented, the amount of UBI each person gets should continue to grow as automation and technology improves.

It takes a very long time to say anything in Entish

A billion years of evolution suggest that AGI will be programmed or self develop the equivalent of feelings.

Unlikely. Ai Has progressed a lot in the past, and them slowed down. I don't say why that's impossible, or even not likely, in the near future.

> In YOUR theory the singularity would like a tsunami washing away everything human,

It's kind of in the name. The idea is that things change so rapidly people are no longer able to predict the future on an increasingly shorter and shorter time scale.

It's like you wake up one morning and they announce you can now get your age reversed next week, and then 2 days later everyone gets uploaded to the hive mind.

Construction management. Not because it cant be automated, hell its probably one of the easier ones. But rather because nobody in this industry uses any technology made after 1985.
