The human population was (much) less than 1 billion for the majority of human history. Now there are 8 billion of us. Humans and our domestic animals make up the vast majority of mammalian biomass. And you're crying disaster just because the birth rate has finally started to decline for once? C'mon, Matt. We couldn't keep growing forever. Even if we manage to become a multiplanetary species, arguably that'll just take the pressure off earth's systems, not free us to make our population even bigger. So it's good that there are some forces to balance out our natural drive to reproduce.
As an AI enthusiast myself, I still appreciate other people, enjoy their company, and maintain my friendships. But friendship is all I've ever wanted ... I don't want romance or sex or motherhood ... and that has nothing to do with AI. That's just me. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T98d543ca2ee45e01-M661f5dcc1b4993428a36653e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
