the downfall of humankind

Here's a fun light topic:

Don't worry about viruses or UFOs or climate change or anything really. Artificial Intelligence is coming for mankind, and there's no stopping it.

Winding up into the discussion about AI, Kahneman notes the issue with human minds: “There is going to be massive disruption. The technology is developing very rapidly, possibly exponentially. But people are linear. When linear people are faced with exponential change, they’re not going to be able to adapt to that very easily.” Kahneman cites medicine as one place humans are going to be replaced, “certainly in terms of diagnosis.” And elsewhere, he issues a stark message to the boardrooms of the world: “There are rather frightening scenarios when you’re talking about leadership. Once it’s demonstrably true that you can have an AI that has far better business judgment, say, what will that do to human leadership?”

I imagine Earth itself would breath a sigh of relief to get the human fleas under control.....

Humans can function without electricity. Computers can’t. That’s their achilles heel.

The machines will be doing all the work. We will turn on each other, not the machines.

Just look at the recent outbursts from CEOs of companies who can't hire anyone anymore. Their argument is "NO ONE WANTS TO WORK ANYMORE" but they are screaming it while sitting at home in a 100th floor penthouse making 1,000X higher salary than their median employee.

What will happen once the shareholders find out the CEO can be replaced by a machine?

Surely someone has thought this through. If you replace process workers with robots and salaried positions with AI, how do the consumers earn the money to consume the goods that no human produces any longer???

Robots and AI making things for each other? Can an economy of goods and services survive? And if not, are we all going to stand passively by while capitalist forces optimizes and eliminates where possible all human inputs? Surely the politicians have enough survival instincts to recognize that AI, if left unchecked will make them redundant also. Or is this train-wreck happening too slowly for anyone to form a plan of action and like climate change, by the time its manifestation is no longer questioned, will it be far too late to do anything about it?

You do know that humans as batteries consume more energy than they produce.

The matrix was crap. Just sayin’.
Use potatoes.

Wildgrass points out that CEOs, the people who create jobs, are saying that no one [wants these jobs] anymore. This is true, WGrass is correct.
But Wgrass, can you tell us how in the WORLD their sitting in their penthouses has ANYTHING to do with the fact that no one wants the jobs anymore??????
We all know that the stockholders pay their CEOs big money, but wh ...[text shortened]... ou will not be able to clarify with a clear answer. Whew.....
You cant answer this question.

Wildgrass:

The most effective weapons of the future likely will not use bullets or bombs at all. The aforementioned artificial intelligence which allows sifting and winnowing of information to win wars.
