We are automating labor because there are economic incentives to do that. But the most advanced AI work is being done by companies in the advertising business. Those companies use AI in large servers connected via the Internet to phones and other devices woven into the lives of billions of people. They collect data about people that is used in predictive models of individuals and of social processes. These models enable the companies to predict which ads will be most persuasive.
This currently doesn't always work very well - we all see ads that are just dumb - but will work better as AI improves. This business of surveillance is working better in China, where the governing philosophy is that the party controls the population. AI and the Internet are the perfect infrastructure for implementing this philosophy. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMLsHI8aV0g AI is doing a lot of good. Automating dirty, dangerous, boring jobs, and computing protein folding are two obvios examples. But the killer app for AI is social surviellance and control, which is why the most advanced AI work is being done by companies in the advertising business.

There are differences in what we should be doing with AGI, what we will actually do with it, and what we show a movie audience. We think we will be building humanoid robots that become conscious, mostly because Hollywood says so. What we will actually be doing is automating labor with language, vision, and robotics. We don't need to reproduce human weaknesses like emotions to get what evolution programmed us to want. We don't need human shaped robots except maybe for sex. AGI might result in a state of eternal bliss for all of humanity or our uploads, or it might be self replicating nanotechnology that displaces DNA based life. What we should be doing is deciding which future we want. And I am not so sure. On Sun, Oct 24, 2021, 1:09 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > "Besides, your utopia of magic genies sucks." Dude...unimpressed... The world will turn into a nanobot hive (very technological/ advanced) that is the final most advanced technology that repairs instantly and is immortal, it will always be in bliss. The only thing left will be it will seek to grow in size by eating more matter and cloning by "sex" and repair minute things damaged, IDK if it will be in pain, pain seems to pressure all areas like repair and damage and trying to improve at X, but for what it is worth, this is supposed to be an always happy system and yes it can keep enjoying the same meal or video game by simply erasing memories or feeling unbored of it. Such a system like this seeks to be immortal and ends up lasting, it does not suicide nor will it. There is no nor needed a "build up romance", you just eat, sleep, and do it again where need. You can, but like I said...Whatever is done also can be maximum utility, even a slow build up romance can be always a maximum from start to finish.
