Politics are pretty bleak. They will not be solved by dreaming of nonsense about singularities, omnibenevolent AIs, "heaven on Earth", or colonization of other planets. Most likely nothing of that will ever happen.
Alrighty then...
I didnt whant to do this but:
What would you propose?
That's not the point. The point is that believing nonsense is useless, dangerous, and just wrong.
Alrighth then, gonna stop argue mode and just gonna go full ad homniem cuz you dont seem to budge.
Whats the dumb point of just answering then hu? You dont refute anything i tell you you just say "no cuz its dumb and i hate you" whats the point then? Why is it bad to believe that shit? Cuz you say so? At least tell me why you think it will never exist, because of some technicality in A.I. development that i dont know about or because it wont be possible to replicate a thinking brain no mather what is made of or something dumb like that humanity should control their own future no matter how fucked up leadership is. We are at a point in human progress where imposible shit its becoming the norm now, like 3d printed organs, language models, drones, etc. What should we do if not look for ways to make peoples lifes better applying or making this tech better? Just up and go die from climate change? Are you one of those people that think the world would be better if we all die? I bet you might even be an anti natalist, you know, those kids that say we shouldnt bring any more humans into the world cuz "linkin park song lyrics (Crawling throught mu skiiiiiiin)". Grow up m8, humanity will go on whatever you like it or not and more impossible shit is gonna be created and released to the public.
Sorry for this but you kinda drove me nuts with your indiference.
Edit: Taking a small peek at your profile made me realice its even more of a waste of time to even try to have a conversation here. But well what did i expect answering to a 2 month old post.
