1 - I think AI is going to get massive government bailout and funding, it’s a bubble that costs way more than value it provides, but because entire AI is part of that control system DoD have been building, and salivating over that power, they’ll find ways to fund it. Trump will absolutely participate.

2 - AI is a system built to manipulate, right now it’s going through the “gain trust” phase. Once manipulation phase starts, society will fall under heavy government control. Its next step in government ran capitalism we are in.

3 - Very many jobs will be obsoleted by AI, and that will likely lead to either massive poverty or some UBI system.

The physical half of the economy will remain.

Robots are not capable of construction, farming, repair work, etc. Not yet.

But if AI puts as many people out of careers as I’ve heard, those “physical” jobs will pay shit because there will be endless numbers of people competing for said jobs.

AI will be a partial bubble, like Google Glasses and self-driving cars.

There's entire channels in China dedicated to their self-driving car technology mishaps, like truckers having to get out and kick a self-driving vehicle to move through an intersection.

The good thing is that if the bubble does break, we'll be left with power generation infrastructure that could be connected to the grid, increasing grid resilience. Proper place for AI is in space, or even better on the moon, which is a much better heat sink. Musk is already commenting on this. He's miles ahead of everyone, in every important future tech.

Moon also has essentially infinite solar power with no atmosphere and no day/night rotation.

If we can dislodge the tens of millions of criminal aliens, that will help.

But maybe there's also some other way to arrange the economy that could productively use all those people.

The moon does indeed have a day/night rotation, resulting the phases we see. Day lasts 2 weeks, and then night lasts 2 weeks.

AI assures me it wouldn’t be a good place for AI.

FortWayne makes 3 good points.

I just retired after 40 years working as a programmer, starting at AT&T. Bell Labs in the 80s and 90s was a magical place for someone like me. Sadly, things changed.

I hated having to use AI these last few years. AI is interesting, frightening, and frustrating, all at the same time. It’s the proverbial genie released from the bottle; it ain’t going back. I say good luck with that.
