One key number you don’t mention - inflation adjusted wages, especially for the lower half of the population.

If you hold a lot of assets or are in the upper quartile of wages, then all of this is good.

If you don’t, then you’re fucked. That is their point.

Good luck

It’s especially an issue for migrants who are dark skinned and move to climates with little light. So yes, I think you are correct.

Sure, but they have a lot of money to buy me votes and new cars and stuff.

- your elected representatives

In this thread, where someone was claiming that the fast breeding religious/ethnic folks were replacing everyone or something, it’s extremely relevant.

Nothing is new here.

Even the major global powers failed to actually eradicate all humans (on the other side) during WW2, with actual nuclear weapons. Pretty sure cockroaches are actually easier.

It’s remarkably hard to actually eradicate all humans.

Eh, status quo is impossible once the cat is out of the bag.

It’s essentially nuclear weapons, except for social manipulation and propaganda production.

It’s too tempting/useful for any gov’t or large corporation to really allow to be banned. At least for them.

Name one anyone trusts.

Getting rid of us would be hard. I think you have the cases reversed.

If they might convince some fool to do it, they’d be fools not too eh?

That’s a lot of money!

People who have kids are replacing/outnumbering those who don’t.

Compared to mass unemployment, eating dog food to stay alive, etc. which is the other obvious alternative? Why do you think the musks of the world keep touting it.

The entire idea is just a trap, and an illusion sold by folks like musk while they continue to do what they do.

The only way it would be funded is with ‘chains’/conditions.

Why would such an AGI not just prefer the sociopath and psychopaths? They are likely much easier to control.

Why do you think it would be a post-scarcity world? Normally, those in power turn the screws to force others into scarcity to ‘induce’ compliance.
