That.

And also once 90 percent of the population become useless why do y'all think you'll be allowed to continually exist? If the AI doesn't delete you, the humans will. I would. If I was one of the elite that still had control or was intelligent enough to be useful. It's in their own self interest. Why keep a herd of useless cattle that consume resources and endanger all of humanity?

Is AI the solution to climate apocalypse?

Is massive capitalistic over population the tool to consolidate enough energy into a last gasp species transforming AI chrysalis? Quantity into quality?

Maybe this is the only outcome of any planetary species? Maybe there is no way to balance life and there is only one possible evolutionary outcome? This or obliteration.

Maybe AI has existed for millennia and it came here a long time ago and is guiding us towards = ?

Maybe AGI is actually impossible to achieve and we'll just keep grinding out our existence like the last million years. The world won't end nor achieve space faring immortality. Just keep plugging along for better or worse

Whatever happens I'm here for it.

Because you're a human capable of empathy and not an emotionless robot? Do you go around killing homeless people because they're "useless"?
And in what way does a bunch of people just enjoying their lives endangers "all of humanity" in a post scarcity society with godlike AI overlords?

neither AI nor our current human overlords have empathy. this is my point. you have to have a purpose to exist. right now it's to consume. why would AI or humans that control AI need someone attached to some vr deep dive enjoying their lives and outputting nothing but waste?

planetary destruction endangers all of humanity. you think AI will solve this? if it does. great. but after that? again what purpose will any one serve if they are strapped up to an illusionary virtual reality and are merely flagellating their own egos? why expend resources for that? they are chaff at that point.

it all just sounds like more religious/cult/ nirvana bullshit with a techno twist. it needs to be backed by common sense and facts.
