Ask HN: How do you imagine an AI-driven utopia?
Imagine that the development of artificial superintelligence goes extremely well and we solve any possible obstacle. How do you imagine the ideal future, say in 50 to 100 years? AI and labourer robots are essentially here. At first they'll be assembling themselves. But essentially all the "temporary foreign workers" stop and are replaced by bots. One of the key jobs here are 'farm workers' what we find out is that those jobs can now be filled by robots and farms can expand to areas where workers arent even available. Food prices ought to essentially crash; but from a farm owner point of view, it's going to still cost little to nothing to produce lots of food. These bots are also going to make hard labour like house construction not only improve in quality but to construct a house drops significantly in cost. Wood costs become must cheaper as robot lumberjacks and robot tree planting will greatly increase. As a human, the cost of living becomes cheaper and cheaper; we will essentially reach utopia by energy production. I'm not sure to call it ideal, but there is a nice story that was posted a few times "Four Magic Words" https://www.fortressofdoors.com/four-magic-words/ HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39051691 (145 points | Jan 2024 | 90 comments)
