Reply to Self driving cars are a scary thought by chicagotopsail
I have an answer to that in the form of a short story (100-word drabble):
Trolley Problem Insurance
Joe rode home with his family, wife in front, and kids playing video games. He had purchased a fully self-automated automobile, capable of errands like picking up curbside groceries.
An angry mob of rioters surrounded the car and pounded on it.
“Everyone brace for impact!” Joe grabbed a handle.
The car self-accelerated, driving through the crowd—bodies flung up top while the car bounced, swerved, and tilted.
Joe’s wife, Mary, said, “Joe, we’re getting in so much trouble!”
“Don’t worry, dear. I went for the supplementary Trolley Problem insurance. Legal protection, medical, and life insurance coverage for these exact situations.”

How would society restructure to compensate for an outgrowth of NIMBYs, trust funds, and entitled behavior?

Reply to What will humanity do when everything is, well, eventually discovered by ASI? by Cool-Particular-4159
You mention: “Eventually, I'm pretty sure the only real 'purpose' of humans will be to just live out our lives and then die.”
AFAIK, many hope ASI will bring about immortality biologically, digitally, etc.

Reply to To all you well-read and informed futurologists here: what is the future of gaming? by Verificus
Everything you experience will be an advertisement, but you probably won’t even realize it, and may even encourage it (to get better stuff.).
People will freely give up almost everything about themselves to obtain perfectly-matched virtual goods, services, pleasures, or experiences.
Future generations will be less concerned over privacy. Their main issue will be about identity as anyone can virtually mimic anyone or anything else.

Reply to is it ignorant for me to constantly have the singularity in my mind when discussing the future/issues of the future? by blxoom
The problem is rarely technology in and of itself but the exploitation and abuse of it by humans. That is what should be the most concerning with a Singularity. Will it be a puppet? If so, who will be its puppet masters?

If you believe in a prime mover of the universe, even free will is a product of what’s created by said prime mover. So no matter what, it will be reasoned all comes from the prime mover.

Reply to The Class Struggle of Longevity by Mynameis__--__
If the birth rate keeps lowering, companies will want longevity for the masses to maintain loyal consumer bases. The lure of a continuous cash flow and growing profits will motivate its distribution. For example, banks could stretch out loans or mortgages for a century or more.

Reply to When will AI develop faster than white collar workers can reskill through education? by just-a-dreamer-
There’s no point in competing with the evolution of AI. What people should focus there energy on is making government and society adapt by giving every individual a healthy, fruitful, and satisfying life experience. Whether that be through UBI or some basic form of giving everyone the baseline of necessities. Something needs to be done to prevent a social and economic collapse. The same ole politics and economics aren’t going to bail us out of a post-singularity transformation.
