On the super-optimistic side of the AI discussion: Solve Everything.

I haven’t gotten close to reading it all yet, but they envision a future so rosy even Star Trek might think it a tad unrealistic.

@cjhubbs have you listened to The Last Invention podcast? I have found it to be an excellent discussion on the issues surrounding AI.

@drose I have not, but I’ll look it up. Thanks for the recommendation!

@cjhubbs how are they solving for the problem that the people currently in control of most of the land and resources are in control of most of the land and resources?

Every large corporation is using AI to increase market share and revenue per user and drive down costs and “return shareholder value”

So how do you point the AI cannon at solving problems for the social good? Isn’t this fundamentally the same request as “pointing the market at solving problems for the social good”
