I think his graph answers your question: Pretty Fuckin Soon

It doesn’t sound like we need a whole lot of people more like!

This. The whole idea of humans working for money starts changing when all of the work is done by AI and robots. Think how different a shared self driving car is to a couple of clunkers parked in every garage on stand by, it up-ends the premise of cars, transport, housing to say nothing of alcohol use, multi-tasking and God knows what else. Now think of everything else being done by robots and you and your friends spending lots of time in VR, it's not like you're going to take off the glasses and work at some factory in this scenario.

People would just do what they wanted to do. People wouldn’t be chasing money, but chasing their passions. I was a chef for two years, but fucked it off because the money and hours were shit! If money wasn’t an object and I could do it when I felt like it then that’s what I’d do.

so thats why theres negative interest rates

Read life 3.0 by max tegmark. There is a vast community funded by Elon Musk reseraching AI and its potential as we speak. I wonder if the Simpsons can predict the eventuality that machines could become superior to humans like they did with forecasting Donald Trump as President.

yeah they oughta add an a.i. character for homer to play off of

Don't worry about it, AI will figure it out for us.

But the bottom line is, the corporations that are investing in AI still need to make their profits too. If no one works, no one has money, so how would these corporations stay afloat?

There will need to be some sort of equilibrium - much as (most) humans now realise we can't keep burning Earth's resources, AI systems wouldn't be programmed to make humanity defunct. Not unless the world manages to move away from its capitalist consumerist ambitions; which it won't. We're greedy creatures.

if everything we want is fed by an ai created vr feed we may still be consumers but things gonna be damn cheap.

atms resulted in more bank branches and overall, more tellers.

Once the textile loom has finished devastating the working landscape.

Lol the luddites are still operating against the looms as we speak. Especially up North.

For the moment, we are safe. They haven't even managed to get self checkouts working properly yet, so I'm not getting in a driverless car. All it takes is a sensor to fail, and it's game over. I work with sensors - you wouldn't want to get in a driverless car for a long while.


Automation - whole different ballgame, and this is the real fear

To understand that, you first have to understand who have control of the world. eventually you find the source being that of the "Red Shield" family. which then gives you their agenda, they see the rest of us as "goyim" having a belief we are to serve them as upgraded animals. So, they have to destroy the existing system to usher in a new having what we term "image of the beast" possibly representing AI as the brains behind their new agenda. We, therefore will enter a stage where the elite/red shield family give a choice to either obey and conform to them or to be hunted down like sheep for slaughter. The ones who accept will receive a mark to accept credits. China recently started this endeavour which fits perfectly with their zionist regime and called it "Social Credit" http://uk.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-punishments-and-rewards-explained-2018-4?r=US&IR=T, however, those who have understanding will flee from their demise into the wilderness for this has been written already. They call themselves Jews but are not (Revelation 2:9) thus the third temple will not be as they claim, possibly even having AI rule over the population whilst the AC rule over their temple.

I think you need to stop smoking so much weed dude... and maybe stop reading so much geopolitical and religious fiction too!

This is accelerating fast, now each user is an informant directly to the police.

crazy but probably true lolz

Customers that bought this product also viewed "The Crucible by Arthur Miller".

lol, these problems are as old as human nature. Look up the Granny Police in China.

gestapo was way better dressed

It's blowing up even as crime is falling.

I'm not so sure this is bad, it beats cops patrolling all the time.

it is basically how the world worked before cops though the scale and anonymity lets freaks takeover the mic

cameras always seem shocking at 1st then we get used to them. i dont know if thats dystopic or utopic :)

The Big Leboski. Great film, music and funny stoner scenes!

Big Lebowski is one of the best.

this!

You want a thumb dude, i can get you a thumb.
An absolute classic. One of my favourites.

"That's, like, just your opinion, maan." (But I agree with you, obvs)

I had another movie in mind when I clicked on this topic, but you nailed it. The greatest stoner movie ever, The Big Lebowski.

How High with WuTang's Methodman - turns out that name is a reference to acting technique.

Can't believe I've never seen it. Watching it tonight.

Good call. Underrated movie.One that deserves another watch .

How about "A Clockwork Orange." Saw it for the first time at my frat house in the early 80's. It's time for bit of the ole in out in out. Love it.

There's always Reefer Madness. It's pretty damn funny, especially since it was released in 1936. Right up there with masturbation causing blindness and hairy palms. If that was true l would be wearing dark glasses, holding a tin cup begging for enough money to buy a new razor.

I'd like to add The Greatest Showman fucking amazing when you're stoned.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

Legend!!!

Agree completely

Bang on dude👌

I've been meaning to watch that after a few spliff for a while now, Yellow Submarine definitely pickles your head too.

Snatch! Lol got to be one of the best British films ever made

Absolute classic, along with Lock Stock!

Half baked definitely.

This is my favourite

The best stoner movie ever!

"Interstellar 5555" :) (How can you beat Japanese Anime set to Daft Punk's Discovery for audio/visual, I mean come on seriously?lol)
Also How High, Harold & Kumar, Sausage Party and Your Highness,..

Akira, the music and animation is so good. Stoned it's magic.

Only rewatched this a few days ago. I'd forgotten how amazing it is! Thanks again for the recommendation

this

Half baked!

Great choice, haven't seen that in years!!!

Hangover 1,2,3, Pineapple Express, Harold Kumar 1,2,3, This Is The End, Tenacious D, Mac & Devin & many many more <3

I agree with @godzillalien hangover 1-2-3 definitely

Dazed and confused. Love that movie

‘Alright alright alright’

Ha!!!

Absolutely. Dazed and Confused, whenever I want to remember my teens. I definitely peaked in highschool.

Friday

Have to say "Up in Smoke" by Cheech and Chong. Stacey Keach at his best and the whole idea of getting EVERYONE at a concert stoned at once!

Definetely the greatest of them all imo.

Up in Smoke is hilarious!

Amazing well under rated. very lock stock and snatch styled

The book is even better. A legend of a man.

Agree! Read the book and loved it. Wasn't even aware there was a movie. Going to search for it.

Richard Linklaters two rotoscoped classics, "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly" are great to watch when you're baked.

Fantastic shout! A Scanner Darkly is just stunning.

A Scanner Darkly is a great pic. I only learned recently that Phillip K Dick wrote this (along with the book Bladerunner is based on - 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' and also 'Minority Report' to name but a few. He is the Don of sci-fi.

Some of his early stuff that hasn’t been made into a movie or a tv show is amazing. Think he found god around the early 70s (the acid and weed was good back in the day) and his later stuff is very spiritual. He is the Don !

Anything Philip k. dick related is good for me!

Blade runner stoned is something to behold for sure….

Alsolute classic headfuck with a smoke!

I recommend Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) which was inspired by Ubik and remade as Vanilla Sky.

Yeeeah! Thanks for reminding me of those two. This is my favourite thread of all time.

Me personally it’s back to the 80s national lampoons , blazing saddles , aeroplane , trading places , plus stupid comedy

Love a good 80s comedy! Aeroplane is a classic!

Can’t beat them man

Friday is the one for me haha! Seeing Ice Cube do comedy is gold!

Great shout. A funny but terrifying prediction of what could be.

Napoleon dynamite or team america
