Re: How Humankind Could Become Totally Useless
Only thing useless is Time Magazine.
The issue is a serious one but that is a thinly disguised advertisement for "Time Magazine" and its overall brand, Yuval Noah and Amazon.
I don't mean to sound so rancorous but anyone can read it for themselves- between the lines- it's rather content free. Saying "AI" will change things is not informative; it's a distraction....so my dander is raised because its chicanery.
What information is provided?
Yuval Noah has prophetic insights to the future and he shares his hidden wisdom with our audience.
Amazon is a tech company you know, dear reader, and he is going to tell you how to beat it.
The "future" is all technology but there has to be "balance" so Yuval socially signals that with meditation and "unplugging"
But unplugging doesn't mean given up all technology for good- it means finding that balance where you can spend time reading Time Magazine Online so you are fully informed about the happenings and disasters going on in the world- like a Trump election.
Empty chatter using the signals "superhuman" "AI" "climate change"....
The real reason all these people are going out of business because their vitality was sapped long ago, and they are nothing more than husks going through the motions.
And they project their uselessness onto "Humanity". It's not the end of the world, just the end of them.

Re: How Humankind Could Become Totally Useless
one thing ive learnt over the years is this conversation is a no go area.
we either have the hand waving 'it will all work out' crowd or the 'quick, we need moar socialism' crowd and barely a coherent sentence can be passed between them.

IMSMO, the hypothesis of Dr. Zagar & Dr. Evans, published decades ago, remains unparalleled to this day!
