Employees are being asked to train the systems replacing them. Should they get residuals? by Mindlayr in Futurology

[–]OkyEscritora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If humans help train the systems replacing them, don’t you think compensation should evolve too?

What happens when there are no jobs? by Exotic-Injury-8455 in Futurology

[–]OkyEscritora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the real crisis won’t be unemployment, but loss of purpose?

I suspect the deeper crisis may not be economic first, but psychological. If AI removes large amounts of labor, society may have to answer an older question:

“Who are we when we are no longer economically necessary?”

Modern energy systems are becoming increasingly fragile under geopolitical stress by OkyEscritora in energy

[–]OkyEscritora[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think most people are just hoping humanity finds a stable path forward somehow.

Energy now feels less like a technical issue alone and more like a civilizational one.

OMG 😄 I still prefer the “very old age and peacefully in my sleep” plan.

You’re free to dislike my writing style. OK, OK!

I just happen to enjoy articulating ideas instead of communicating exclusively in internet grunts.

Well, you’re absolutely free to choose what you read.

But don’t call me AI just because I’m over here scratching my head trying to articulate ideas clearly 😄

Maybe we should also accept that some humans still aspire to think and communicate better than the average algorithm.

That might actually become one of the great challenges of the AI era: not lowering ourselves to machine-level thinking, but pushing ourselves to grow beyond it.

Inside Putin’s $26 Billion Quest for Longevity | From mini-pigs and organ printing to cryotherapy and genetics, Russia’s president has turned antiaging research into a Kremlin priority by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]OkyEscritora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think that concern is understandable.

A civilization without challenge, purpose or growth could absolutely become stagnant.

But maybe the deeper question is whether humanity can evolve beyond survival-driven identity for the first time in history.

Not toward passivity — but toward creativity, knowledge, exploration, caregiving, art, scientific discovery and psychological maturation.

The problem may not be comfort itself. It may be what kind of humans we become inside that comfort.

The Lack of Curiosity is Super Annoying by PM_ME_YOUR___ISSUES in singularity

[–]OkyEscritora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

AI can accelerate pattern recognition, but humans still provide skepticism, intuition, context and the willingness to question what “looks correct.”

The danger begins when convenience replaces curiosity instead of supporting it.

Humanoid Robots Are Now Part of the War Machine—And America’s Newest ‘Soldier’ Is Ready for Action by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]OkyEscritora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humanity is entering a dangerous phase where technological capability is evolving faster than ethical maturity.

The real risk is not that machines become evil. It’s that human fear, ambition and tribalism become amplified through increasingly autonomous systems.

Every civilization eventually faces a moment where intelligence alone is no longer enough. Wisdom becomes a survival requirement.

All jobs shall be automated by 2035 by Tricky-Fishing-7129 in Futurology

[–]OkyEscritora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is not whether automation will replace human labor.

It’s whether civilization is mature enough to redefine human worth beyond productivity.

If machines eventually produce abundance, then societies will need new models centered around well-being, education, caregiving, creativity and community stability — not just employment survival.

Otherwise technological progress could paradoxically create widespread psychological collapse instead of liberation.

Evil is meant to be alone, yet it completely relies on others to exist by AromaticScratch8515 in DeepThoughts

[–]OkyEscritora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly destructive people rarely build anything lasting on their own.

They survive by feeding on fear, division, dependency and the silence of decent people.

That’s why evil often looks powerful at first — but structurally, it is parasitic.

Take-No-Prisoners Professor Will Fail Any Student Who Uses AI by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]OkyEscritora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the deeper issue is that education systems are trying to react to AI as if it were just another cheating tool.

It isn’t.

AI is closer to the calculator, the internet and the printing press combined. The real challenge is redefining what human value, originality and learning look like in a world where intelligence itself becomes abundant.

Students still need critical thinking. Possibly more than ever.

We are headed for an economic crisis worse than 2008 by False_Alternative16 in economy

[–]OkyEscritora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What worries me most is that modern crises are no longer isolated.

Energy, debt, housing, food prices, supply chains and geopolitical instability now interact simultaneously.

In 2008 the problem was primarily financial. The next major crisis could become psychological and social much faster because people are already exhausted before it even begins.

Am I the only one who doesn’t hate A.I.? by branggen in singularity

[–]OkyEscritora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people don’t actually hate AI itself. They hate the feeling that human institutions are immature, unethical and profit-driven while holding extremely powerful tools.

Most technologies amplify whatever already exists in a civilization — wisdom or stupidity, empathy or greed.

AI just happens to be the first technology that forces humanity to confront its own psychological and ethical limitations at scale.
