RE: Sam Altman Talks Web 3.0 Without Knowing It

Altman has it completely wrong, on pretty much everything.
Technology will create far more jobs than it destroys as it always has.
AI is just another tool. It will never surpass human intelligence.
Only stupid humans who act like robots will lose their jobs and with proper retraining they can participate in the new economy.
It is actually impossible for machine intelligence to surpass human intelligence as it offends Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Read George Gilder's Life After Google to understand why.
The real problem is going to be the lack of workers, particularly skilled workers, as everywhere other than Israel and very backward 3rd world countries is facing a demographic collapse with rapidly shrinking workforces and falling consumer demand.
Labour is going to be in short supply. There will be close to zero unemployment.
In any case paying people for doing nothing is utterly destructive to the human psyche.
Sorry Mr. Hamilton. I'll be on Altman's side on this one.
See you at singularity.
The Singularity is a mirage.
It may appear near but it can never be reached.
If you've read Kurzweil I suggest you also read Gilder who conclusively debunks many of the ideas behind the Singularity and Google religion, with hard maths.
