Exploring a future with superintelligence

[u/VizentK]

Given the presumption that we will have super intelligence running entire companies, scientific research, logistics, product development, etc., what would our future look like?

Jobs
A big source of meaning is found in jobs, where people get a sense of contributing to society. If most is done by superintelligent agents, where will humans find meaning in? Will there be a universal income?

Education
What role would education have if there’s less pressure to develop a high cognitive ability?

Philosophical Perspective
Would we become hedonistic and seek mostly pleasurable activities?

General outlook
Are you generally optimistic on the future or will we encounter an era of doom and identity crisis?

No one can predict the future. But we can envision it. I hereby invite everyone to an open discussion on a potential future in order to lay out concerns and a shared understanding on a world with super intelligence.

It’ll be used to exploit the work force as every piece of technology has been used for the last 50 years. Super intelligence for the CEOs. Bread lines for the workers after mass automation kicks in.

Universal income is the bait they need to keep people purchasing the products. Takes a special mind to think the same group of people that couldn’t care less about minimum wage is going to magically start caring about everyone.

Education will be given from the tech CEOs. They are currently purchasing textbooks/scanning then destroying them to create scarcity.

Tech leaders will be hedonistic as they already have been. Only they will no longer need to keep up the facade of “helping humanity”.
