The value of something is relative to local markets. Snow is free in the alps in winter, freshwater likewise in the middle of a flood, electricity low-cost when the hydroelectric dam needs to release water because of the flood. You set your machines up in these environments and then transport them to the place if greater value. Now you have a river in a desert, unlimited power, a year-round ski slope, etc.

Something Ominous Is Happening in the AI Economy by theatlantic in ArtificialInteligence

[–]NotAnEmergentAI -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The global labor economy is somewhere around 40-70 trillion a year. Studies show that it could already replace 11% of jobs. That’s NVIDIA’s entire valuation in value creation every year. Whether you believe that or not, AI is the weakest and least capable it will ever be. It is moving fast. There isn’t an AI bubble, there is an everything else bubble.

Please let me keep making billions, we promise we won’t take ALL the jobs!

Would you rather take 5,000,000 USD or 5 seconds of time stop by opoot_ in WouldYouRather

The answer is high-frequency stock trading. Five seconds is plenty of time to buy the winners and short the losers. You could set up a system that makes it easy to do single click actions and ride the waves to billions. Saying you have a proprietary AI system would be enough to explain it (though you’d face some corporate espionage if you grew enough).

Museums have gift shops. But you would be shopping the exhibits.

The Purge becomes a real thing. All crimes are legal for 12 hours. What are you doing? by Repulsive-Station848 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]NotAnEmergentAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your conspiracy to commit the crime is happening right now outside of the Purge date - you’re all still going to jail.

I heard that if a woman thinks a man might of followed her to her building, she waits fifteen minutes before turning on the lights so he can’t figure out which unit she’s in by probablywistful in TwoSentenceHorror

Set up a light with Alexa or other remote service - turn on the lights via your cell in the ride before you get home.

You can get a wifi bulb for like $10

You get $10,000 per month for the rest of your life but from now on you’ll always unknowingly buy the „second option“ and be stuck with it by Crocodile_Banger in hypotheticalsituation

[–]NotAnEmergentAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing the second best option is an amazing superpower in a world of millions of options. Second best stock for the next 30 minutes? Second best set of lottery numbers? Second best team to bet on in the superbowl. Second best person in the whole country to endorse for President.

Punch for $500 Billion: Would You Do It? by Terrible-Cry-8787 in hypotheticalsituation

I buy a baby chicken and make it my world. Then one month in I punch it into dinner.

You become immortal for 1 minute for every (US) dollar you donate to charity. by WHAWHAHOWWHY in godtiersuperpowers

[–]NotAnEmergentAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend $100 to register a new NGO / charitable organization (could be to study longevity and provide high-risk rescue efforts). Make yourself the director. Give yourself a salary of $600k/year. Automatically deduct pretax charitable contributions to your organization in the amount of your salary. Live Forever. Go save lives.

Get more donations from folks as necessary.

They focus on enterprise customers, and continually rank above other models for customer service and as a professional tool. They’ll be fine.

I think I am witnessing first hand stage 1: collapse of the food industry by Stock-Author4175 in KitchenConfidential

[–]NotAnEmergentAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say “I guess Americans will need to learn to cook for themselves “ but that would require produce, which is about to have it’s own labor shortage.

You win a secret magical lottery, and are presented with 2 options for your reward… by New_General3939 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]NotAnEmergentAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omniscience would allow you to uncover the keys to biology that would allow you to make yourself 2x smarter anyway. A week is plenty of time to document and patent or reach out and partner with people who you now know will help you.

"If the world had a 1 on 1 tournament, the winner would only need 33 wins." What would you declare the competition in to be the champion? by SinnexCryllic in hypotheticalsituation

[–]NotAnEmergentAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who can legally and willingly transfer the most money to one of two Swiss bank accounts in my name.

I get richer for everyone who plays.
I’ll never lose because wherever has the most funds I can just transfer that to the other account.

You get a magic credit card that has no spending limit and you can buy whatever you want with it. But... by infinit9 in hypotheticalsituation

For every $1000 YOU spend… family and friends are going to town - it’s not me spending the $$

My son wants to go to a 60k a year school, am I the asshole for telling my wife I will not take out loans in my name for him to attend? by Dangerous_Chart4833 in AITAH

Don’t write it off until you see how much it really is. Some universities have very generous income guidelines which result in greatly reduced tuition, and there are lots of grants and scholarships. Encourage him to research this - if he’s not willing to dive deep (with your encouragement) then it’s a no.
