If you're trying to tell me a lot of people aren't talking about scenes from sci-fi movies actually happening within the next 1-20 year(s) you're not being honest with yourself?
I’m not saying that, I just believe those people are myopic and completely missing the wider picture because they’d rather delude themselves with fantasy and thought experiments than consider the crude reality of the economic situation.
This technology doesn’t need to be AGI to complete its objective. It just needs to be good enough to replace or
lower the skill threshold for humans in current knowledge roles.
If I were a wealthy capitalist I’d find it hysterical. I’m about to ensure vast portions of the current middle class are my future wage slaves and those same people, rather than realising the threat, are pontificating about science fiction or actively supporting the development of my technology thinking it’ll make them “more productive!”.
