Humans continue to expand throughout the galaxy and work towards a type 2 civilization and so on. 3. We finally wake up from this simulated world and the “Matrix “ reboots. 4. We finally realize that we are the universe, or as i would like to say, “I” am the whole universe. We wake up to realize that we are playing a game of hide and seek with ourselves.

"Soylent green" is describing what will happen to most of us. We will be food or fertilizer...

American farmers were the canaries in our coal mine 100 years ago. With the introduction of gasoline powered tractors and later harvesters, farm output grew dramatically (pun intended) as horses were displaced in most farm production tasks. In the 1920's approx 1/3 of farm labor was directly tied to horse infrastructure and maintenance. All these workers were displaced in rural America, but this was not the key disruption. The most important factor in the collapse of the human worker driven rural farm economy was not immediately apparent. Tractors were expensive requiring a significant capital investment. Larger farms were best positioned to make these initial investments and grew their farm output faster than smaller farms. With increased output and profit, big farms began purchasing smaller farms at an accelerated pace due to their head start in farm mechanization. The size of farms grew 10x, 100x while the number of workers per acre needed to manage these new large farms shrank. The number of acres under cultivation didn't change much, as the adage goes: "they don't make new land very often". The initial disruption of farm mechanization had a domino effect: small rural towns with stores, schools ...etc, that served thousands of families living on small family farms surrounding them, were devastated due to the decline in farm workers and families on the land. Many rural farming communities started to resemble ghost towns as businesses closed. Because rural communities were politically less advantaged than larger urban areas, their plight went unheeded and was simply ignored by the rest of America. I submit the current MAGA movement, primarily a powerful factor in rural communities, is a direct result of urban disinterest in the collapse of the rural farm worker economy and the families pushed into poverty, despair and hopelessness. One-hundred years ago, farm families on small farms took pride in their productive farm work. Today, large farms have become more corporate even if owned by a single family, less a way of life and more an agribusiness. The Electric Viking needs to get a grip and study the big picture. If citizens do not collectively share ownership in the new wave of robots many of our fellow citizens will be driven into poverty, despair and hopelessness by the capital rich elites just as small farm families across America have been in recent history. If my work years ago in embedded systems: designing industrial computer control systems contributed unwittingly in a small way to the rise of human robots, the future generations of serfs have my sincere apology, which we agree will be of little comfort in their suffering. The Electric Viking is hesitant to call these developments a brave new world, but that is exactly what it is as Aldous Huxley envisioned.

In the 1970s, I asked myself, “how do we structure society when new tech is disrupted before it can be commercialized?” I published my answer in 2023 in Amaranthine: How to Create a Regenerative Civilization Using Artificial Intelligence. My experience discussing my findings over the years was that I was telling the monkey with its hand in the trap to let go of the banana. That’s why I turned to AI. The way AI is being developed will be catastrophic, but it does not have to be that way. AI can be used to create a paradise for us as readily as dystopian hell.

The “Steam Shovel” replaced hundred of men and their shovels. The computer did the same to bank tellers. When was the last time you chatted with a bank teller when you deposited your pay check? It is hard to envision exactly what these new technologies will will ultimately be but they will come.

Fipinos work for a wage that competes with the sub $1/hr labor cost. But not in the USA. Musk has mentioned prices of $15K and $20K. Other manufacturers have suggested this same pricing level. Competition from the already widening field of eight companies will keep the price of AIbots down. Better ones on the top end of the range. There will be some maintenance. I expect there will be some annual subscription to keep up-to-date. Call it $25K. If they last ten years (my tractors last 40 years) then the cost of labor is going to become wonderfully trivial. I look forward to being able to do more projects.

Can't wait to get a lot of amazing infrastructure done on a lot of our "old decrepit housing" especially those buildings for seniors as we have already given the better part of our lives in service to our family and country. We deserve some care and comfort in better housing during our final years. Most of the housing for seniors was built to accomodate the wealthy seniors who have already enjoyed a good many easy years of comfort.

What this means is that we will need a new economic system. We will need to find a way of getting money into the hands of humans and perhaps their jobs will be to spend money. Today, more people work at home or while traveling, and the concept of work is changing. It also means that these changes will affect our values; perhaps not working might be acceptable someday. Work is such a big part of how we and others see us. Yet in a world where human labor becomes too costly and inefficient, we will still need a way to sustain people. I have no doubts that robots will replace human labor, but then the question becomes, what happens to all those people? Thus the idea of a guaranteed national income might in the future not only become acceptable, but also necessary. Sam, I very much appreciate you tackling this difficult problem.

The labour fudge fix was exactly what you’d expect from France.

A much more clear and correct prediction is that robots will never be able to do complex untrained (dynamic, adjusting to the environment) tasks before AGI arrives and that they can actually think. The same with self driving cars, which have been stuck for the last 10 years, no improvement has been reached, they are still not 100% reliable. The same is true with robots. Generative AI can't make a robot move properly, we need an AI that can think and analyze its environment. We are not there yet and generative AI won't get us there, a AGI is a totally different thing.

If more people are out of a job because of robots that means less tax revenue for the federal government and states so my guess is they will tax companies on a per robot basis to make up for the loss. Companies wanting to set up shop in states will have to agree to have a percentage of their workforce be human or states will not allow them to operate in that state or get any incentives.

Helping and spending time with the elderly. Helping the poor. Avoiding wars through diplomacy. Enjoying recreation. Maintaining the robots. Exploring space. Fixing up the natural environment.

Question - If robots take away labor, who will buy the end product? Who’s getting paid? Who’s making money? People will run out of money.

What is scary about this to me is what is in the book: “The Oil Curse: How Petroleum Wealth Shapes the Development of Nations” by Michael Ross. It discusses how major oil-producing countries tend to have less democracy, fewer opportunities for women, more frequent civil wars, and more volatile economic growth compared to the rest of the world. In this book, Ross shows how countries with a lot of "sweet oil" can produce billions of dollars worth of oil with very few workers. You would think that would raise the standard of living, and it has in Norway. But in the other countries, you simply had a ruling class which didn't need its poor, for anything. And thus you have cruel dictatorships and caste systems (as I think this book says, but could be wrong.)

You can foresee that this disruption will also shatter our current political and economic models. If people are to be looked after, rather than be impoverished by this, enormous change will be required - possibly with some nasty conflict.

This will generate a big demand for metals, speciality alloys, new materials and plastics. Expect the mining industry to be on the cutting edge of new technological development to meet the demand but humans will still be needed to manage the environmental and social impacts.

Humanity will eventually be able to dedicate itself to higher levels of consciousness, cooperation and peace.

It won’t make sense for low volume, high customization. Many new types of jobs will be created to service the new machinery. Many new service companies and cottage industries will form.

I have been saying all this for years now, it's not hard to imagine the future.

they are obligated to say their tech is improving by leaps and bounds every keynote as they have been for the past decade, that is how they are inflating their value then diversifying to make money. the objective is money, not advanced tech.

The very fact that the assumption that, wind, solar, batteries are integral to the future, the acceptance that the current climate narrative and solutions are correct, and somehow the associated costs with these rapidly exposed fable’s will not impact the investment and adaptation of his future vision, sadly undermines what is an interesting and informative presentation.

Currently, One of the big challenges for Tesla and global companies will be the US chip export ban combined with China’s data export ban. This will mean if you have large AI compute in the USA then you can’t export Chinese data into the USA’s AI LLMs but the company also can’t import specific AI chips into China to build up compute. This will cause situations where Compute and LLMs in AI will be fragmented due to the EU, US and China. China will just end up vertically integrating everything in a parallel chip industry but this will be containerised too. We’re entering a fragmented and protectionist World. The global utopia that was promised is being broken by political parties in the US, EU and China.

That's fine when I was 16 in 1976 , I sat on a welding machine and had to press a button to make a single automotive part, 3000 times per day! And I went on to get an engineering degree. Bring on the robots!

An extraordinary post from you. Seba is hard to believe but it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Keep up your good work. Somebody needs to lead the way and you’re certainly putting in the hours .

Re "why Elon Musk is no longer interested in EVs", that probably explains why so many have chosen to resign rather than stay.

The next generation of EV will have PV Charging on their Windscreen, their body works and requiring less power to travel 1000km. That is why Elon Musk is now focusing on the next generation of Industry and Business - Robots and Food.

Nineteen Fifties economics always describes 'Lack of population' and 'Lack of Housing' as if they are separate problems that need to be solved by 'cut-down all the trees' and 'build more infrastructure'. Most economists can be replaced by 'AI'. That is , a few lines of code running on an old laptop.

I just wonder where all the electricity is going to come from. For a power plant, construction time alone is 5 years or more. Or are we using batteries to smooth out the duck curve while also running existing power plants at peak levels all the time?

The Empire State Building was built in one year. Powerplants are neither larger nor more complex, especially if we standardize regulations and facilities and rebuild a more robust and dispersed grid at the same time. In WW2 some ships were built in a week instead of a year. Amazing what planning can accomplish.

@@lyfandeth Agreed that people can organize to do great things. But I feel that was a "different era". I'm optimistic on the future, pessimistic on this timeframe. The Empire State Bldg was designed before, but built during the great depression when labor was extremely cheap. In a race for tallest building back then, that by itself was compelling enough to continue building, ultra cheap labor enabled the building owner to get it done faster than otherwise possible. (consider the lack of safety regulations at the time too). And during WW2, we were a much more united country. Today whether this gets done will depend on who’s in office and their position on oil. Power plant construction is already regulated for all the types of energy production...and further standardization would mean the gov't chooses a couple designs from each production type...to do this in time, this will have to be plant design that has already been developed by particular companies. We also have to do environmental studies before starting all these construction sites. I'm just more pessimistic that this can actually happen in a decade. Personally, I think small modular nuclear reactors, distributed as necessary around the country, is the way to go. But that also seems unlikely in the next decade with the unreasonable aversion to nuclear.

Vehicle batteries, are going to level the grid load by sharing power, while plugged in. 10 kwh of energy from a parked vehicle, that wants to share, for a cash payment,, times 100,000 vehicles, makes ALL the difference

Why does everything have to be a race to the bottom? Can’t we appreciate the fact that most people like working, learning new things and applying themselves, and change the economy to value this and the environment rather than just cheap production?

Fear of change has cost more lives/prosperity than anything else...
