The pinnacle of human invention will be that which our (automated, intelligent) children invent. We will be indirectly responsible, but we won't be able to compete. We can already this happening eg in healthcare technology, or with AlphaGo. It's not hard to imagine many of the greatest discoveries will be via abstractions we can't even grok, and will need to be "translated" for us to even begin to understand, much like with the cutting edge of mathematics and physics. For the vast majority of humans, what they can reasonably accomplish in their lifetimes is surpassed by automated systems today, at least that which pertains to the things that in the past were requisite for everything to function (farming, transportation, common services like cooking, cleaning, etc). It's not hard to imagine the need for paying jobs will drop to zero as everything humans normally need is captured by monopolistic automated systems. From whence comes the need to take care of our own? What's to stop most humans from becoming like the horse, that which no longer has capitalistic meaning? Our overwhelming love for each other (/sarcasm)? |
