Reply to comment by [deleted] in will the singularity cure my extreme loneliness? by TupewDeZew
It's a fools dream to expect something magic to come out of nowhere and fix all your problems. The best assumption to make is to assume you have to fix your own problems. That's the only way to be happy and to have control over your own life. If the singularity comes, that's good. If it comes fast, better. If it arrives in 50 years, that's a long time in misery, and if it comes in 500 years, you have wasted your life hoping something else would fix it.

Some estimates are pretty reasonable whilst some are over-optimistic or over-pessimistic.

Reply to comment by Professional-Song216 in Is it time to retire futurism? by TheForgottenHost
I'd like to hear why you find the counter arguments bad. I find them reasonable. They don't dismiss the singularity as a concept or future event but they do warn for too optimistic timelines and the self comforting nature of some work of futurists. Its easy to deny things like for example our own mortality and inevitable death by blindly cling on to hope given by some futurists. I feel like if we have no good scientific data or basis for predictions or expectations, futurism is nothing but a form of religion for atheists.

Valid point's, good to see some scepticism between all the hopeium. It puts some of the people here back on earth. It's best to stay objective and open to counter arguments.

Reply to With all the AI breakthroughs and IT advancements the past year, how do people react these days when you try to discuss the nearing automation and AGI revolution? by AdditionalPizza
So today I showed dreamAI from Wombo to a colleague who is our design architect. I showed him how I, as an engineer, can now design new en futuristic looking products with the touch of a finger. He was silent, unsettled and truly disturbed. He really started to fear his job. He said something like "although this is not perfect yet, it allows anybody to have output in the form of a useful design concept off of which you can continue working." That alone is a big part of his work, in which he now has to compete with a machine that creates new images every 10 seconds.

Enjoying work and life. Waiting for something that may or may not happen is always wrong.

Studies in ways to prevent people from dying are a good step in the right direction.

It's like asking a farmer in 1750 what work there will be in 2020 after the industrial revolution. He could not have imagined the jobs we have today. Same goes for this. We have no clue. Perhaps you become an AI psychiatrist or an asteroid belt miner.
