Consider the following:Stack Overflow: After a few months of ChatGPT's launch in 2023, it rugged the userbase of Stack Overflow since AI was a better coding search engineProtein folding: Fully solved a few years ago. Instead of doing a year of research work, there's now just a big public database with everything in it, and you go search up what you needgraphic design, art, and music: can now be created for pennies by people with no talent. AI music is now good enough to hit top global chartsporn industry: completely btfo. Chatbots replace $50/hr internet fetish chatters, and textporn. Still images and gifs are now ubiquotous and valueless. Short video is being solved next. Anyone can coom to high quality material of anything your heart desires, but the downside is that all those pre-AI content creators are probably financially ruinedsoftware engineering: as of december 2025, ai is now essential in professional workflows, and accelerating to the point of full automation. Normies with no experience can roll their own SaaS miniapps and cancel shitty services (tradingview)math: researchers are solving monumental 100 year old unsolved theories during a futbol game for fun. The erdos problems are now a meme checklist for college students to play withNow, tech futurists are saying the next 10ish will go like this:> AI enables goods and services to be created at near zero cost> Causing the economy's supply/demand system to break> Weird painful transition phase where everyone loses their jobs...> ...then universal high basic income. Capitalism is now broken and society is forced to reformThis seems like pipe dream bullshit, but AI is already doing step 1 of this in many fields it's best suited for. More fields will follow because the big ai companies are dropping significant updates every month now, because as of december 2025 ai is helping develop future versions of itself. We're seeing the early stages of the post-scarcity roadmap right now.
>>62527040we're seeing gay retard shit as quality of all products decline. the only thing that's coming a post-quality society, enjoy your slop

>>62527040Hey retard: pretty soon there won't be enough diesel fuel to go around. And you're talking about post-scarcity. What a maroon.
The gaming industry is getting pretty close to viable too: https://nitter.net/mattshumer_/status/2081054356405731740Prompt:> I want you to build a first-person shooter at the level of the most recent Call of Duty games. It should be utterly perfect, visually beautiful, with every single thing done at AAA quality—from textures to physics to anything you could think of.> Fan out sub-agents and have sub-agents tackle each one individually so that the game is utterly perfect. You should /loop on each item and have a separate sub-agent check it visually to ensure it looks triple A. That separate sub-agent should be a really harsh critic, and if it doesn't look triple A, it should keep going.> Don't stop until each sub-agent is utterly wowed with the quality when compared with the actual Call of Duty game. It should literally compare them side by side blind and say which one looks better. Do this in ThreeJS. /loop until it's utterly perfect. Fan out sub-agents and ultracode.
>>62527256genuinely why does this excite you? are you brain damaged?
AI can't look at the human corpus of people talking about food and then print physical food by rearranging words.
>>62527263well specifically i don't want to play that exact CoD game he created, it's still slop and a proof of concept. I want what it'll be capable of after a few more years when that process creates commercially viable products that are as good as human made.
>>62527270True but it can replace an entire supply chain of human labor. Farmer, factory processing, transport, store shelving. A bot is a one time cost of $8000 plus maintenance, while a wagie costs at least $30000 per year.
>>62527698Sigh. I don't understand how you survive in the real world. Did you just inherit enough? Are you still in school?1. Every societal structure is downstream from the threat of violence. With surveillance (and robots), the poor are non-threatening.2. Much of government activity is to prevent access to nearly free resources. Why?3. The elites weaponize marginal cost of action in every move. They can't stop hoarding, like that one fat dog in the shelter. How do you think stupid people get powerful? Defective insatiable greed.4. Consumption of Al, robotic and biotech ecosystems easily replaces consumption of the poor, it almost does right now. This will grow way beyond:5. UBI as a percentage of growth converges to total loss of resources against AI with higher ROI.
>>62527755That’s the equivalent doomer scenario, yeah. I’ve just never thought it’s realistic. Change is scary so people are latching onto the absolute worst case scenarios
>>62527813So why did Sam Altman propose that UBI formula then?How do you plan to defend whatever you have?
>>62527040Consider the following:The ai bullshit has been running for several years.Nobody has lost their jobs.Nothing has been automated.No break through a have been made.
>>62527256
>>62527866I’m not sure yet, aside from thinking it might not matter because going from wealth => UBI isn’t an existential risk. But there are a few things that would retain value in this situation. Some collectibles that are valuable and scarce in a way that ai can never solve. Rare land, like in the center of a downtown city. Social status. Personal health, maybe.
>>62527868>nobody was laid offIs it comfy under that rock?
>>62527868That's just false, AI made multiple massive breakthroughs
>>62527263>press one button and have amy game you want instantly>this fucking sucks actually the post the podcast the made for tv movie the soundtrack
>>62527901>>62527921Name 1
>>62527983Read my OP lmao
>>62527983protein folding
>>62528015What is that anyway?
>>62528039It’s a scientific lab research thing that’s part of developing new medicine
>>62528039Proteins have to fold in certain exact conformations for enzymes and metabloic functions to work properly. Cures for diabetes, alzheimer's, parkinson's might be right around the corner because of this.
>>62528015Cool, so... Is cancer cured? Or something?
>>62528064Oh, 2 more weeks
>>62527040Won’t be any scarcity for Link holders
>>62528076The problem is still to get the drug into the places it needs to be, they know absolutely shit all about transport and control dynamics. This is an evolutionary mess, so it needs to be measured in detail. Great opportunity for your children to work as lab rats in exchange for food stamps. Also, expect copious amounts of bioweapons.
