No educated population will support the totalitarian and needlessly nature of capitalism ..

I’ll be close to 90 years old if I make it to 2030 .
I hope to live to see that day.

That might well be replaced with democratic economic and governmental forms .

Unemployment will not be a problem is a society where all goods and services are produced by machine intelligence since the world will have to go to a democratic socialist or communist/ anarchic system of distribution of those goods and services. The decisions on how that distribution is to be effected will be made from the bottom up via direct democratic input from the electorate.

That presupposes that the society wants democracy.

It’s going to be a much different world just 30 years from now. .

Around 2030 when it is predicted that AI will surpass human intelligence, AI may well be equipped to produce masterpieces.

A machine intelligence with the capability to store and access all information at the speed of light .
The current brain mapping project will also help to learn what it is in great art that appeals to humans , the particular combinations of color shape and form that have determined what is art and what is junk.

But the big deal is the accumulated knowledge of art centered in one intelligent form .

A big question of course , is whether that fantastic accumulation of all knowledge in AI will produce a sentient entity .

If it can and does, I have no doubt that all human efforts in art will easily be equalled and surpassed by a greater intelligence.

Hell, they sell “art” done by elephants and gorillas so I guess , in the end, art will always be in the eye of the beholder: what appeals to any particular person. .

It is those smarter-than-human machine intelligences which will better design the software and hardware we lesser intelligences will need.

We’ll just have to keep on plugging away until that time with the lesser intelligent and slower chemical processes that make up human thinking .

It can also help in detecting terrorist attacks using suspicious chemicals detectors which can detect such chemicals in the vicinity of the area where it is installed. If it crosses a threshold , it should be able to send an MMS of the snippet of video when & how the substance entered that location.

Furthermore, the internet is great at delivering results from directed searches. But contrary to people’s beliefs, consumers frequently don’t know what they want until they see it. If they don’t know it exists, they don’t know to search for it. Try searching for an unusual statue or point of interest that is a perfect highlight piece for the foyer you are remodeling or maybe a great gift for Aunt Sally’s 50th wedding anniversary and see how productive that is.

Retailers are aggregators in a way that individual producers are not able and they evaluate quality and reliability of vendors in a way that is not practical for individual consumers. When buying furniture from a firm in Bangkok, as an individual, are you sure you will get what you want if you only make one purchase from that vendor in a lifetime? Sure you can rely on crowdsourced reviews, but anyone who has relied on crowdsourced reviews of lodging accommodations is familiar with the shortcomings there.

Frictionless commerce is not nearly as frictionless as its utopian supporters expect it to be.

“An early example was Lucasfilm Games’ 1982 computer game Ballblazer, where the computer improvised on a basic jazz theme composed by the game’s musical director Peter Langston; later in the life of that company, now rechristened LucasArts, an algorithmic iMUSE engine was developed for their flagship game, Dark Forces.”

Moores law is based on the use of humans and their problem solving ability being exponential. How is that different from software. Well software does not change as rapidly hardware and the reason is obvious if you think about it a bit. The software changes are paradigm changes which are limited by the humans slower learning abilities. hardware is simply installed and it works. Software as the limiting factor, has to be tested in place to confirm is validity and efficiency. This slower process seems to be the hitch in the gitalong.

It seems to me that whomever solves this problem will become very rich indeed. Maybe just doing the programming by computer alone with it’s faster processing speed is the simple answer.

As I write this I am thinking this must be on someones drawing board or perhaps it has been done before. Who out there knows the answer to this seemingly obvious problem?

As I have had occasion to point out many times before:

The construction of a “brain” that will soon equal and then surpass that typical of our species has for long been a work in progress. Not as a result of any deliberate human “design” but rather as the result of an autonomous evolutionary process that can be seen to have run its exponential course since humankind acquired the ability to share imagination, which we know as language.

Very real evidence indicates the rather imminent implementation of the next, (non-biological) phase of the on-going evolutionary “life” process from what we at present call the Internet.It is effectively evolving by a process of self-assembly. You may have noticed that we are increasingly, in a sense, “enslaved” by our PCs, mobile phones, their apps and many other trappings of the increasingly cloudy net and its ever more insidious peripherals.

We are already largely dependent upon it for our commerce and industry and there is no turning back. What we perceive as a tool is well on its way to becoming an agent.

Consider this:

There are at present an estimated 2 Billion internet users. There are an estimated 13 Billion neurons in the human brain. On this basis for approximation the internet is even now only one order of magnitude below the human brain and its growth is exponential.
That is a simplification, of course. For example: Not all users have their own computer. So perhaps we could reduce that, say, tenfold. The number of switching units, transistors, if you wish, contained by all the computers connecting to the internet and which are more analogous to individual neurons is many orders of magnitude greater than 2 Billion. Then again, this is compensated for to some extent by the fact that neurons do not appear to be binary switching devices but can adopt multiple states.

Without even crunching the numbers, we see that we must take seriously the possibility that even the present Internet may well be comparable to a human brain in processing power.
And, of course, the degree of interconnection and cross-linking of networks within networks is also growing rapidly.The culmination of this exponential growth corresponds to the event that transhumanists inappropriately call “The Singularity” but is more properly regarded as a phase transition of the on-going “life” process.

An evolutionary continuum that can be traced back at least as far as the formation of the chemical elements in stars.

One that is on track to produce firstly a predominant cognitive entity on this planet from what is at present the Internet with subsequent emergence of “daughter” beings. These likely adapted for extra-terrestrial existence by virtue of the ruggedness and information processing potential of by diamond and other allotropes of carbon.

So, certainly, we may expect carbon-based life to exist within the interstellar realm , but not of the kind that comprises biology.

The broad evolutionary model that supports these contentions and speculations is outlined very informally in “The Goldilocks Effect: What Has Serendipity Ever Done For Us?” , a free download in e-book formats from the “Unusual Perspectives” website

Well, the best hacker would certainly be some kind of super ai.Now way we could compete with that, I guess.

You’re right about factories,too. They will be turning robotic assembly lines on and off in response to demand. Robotrucks will be parked at the loading docks just waiting for orders to come in.

When a robot takes a job, that job is gone forever. So unemployment benefits can’t be allowed to run out after 26 or even 99 weeks. The benefits must be continued until age 65, when Social Security becomes available.
