The end of physical media is neigh

When you own physical entity: money, house, vinyl or cd, you are free...

When you own nothing but are on the receiving hand side you are not free...

I did not own material music format anymore for convenience...

but the disappearence of all physical support for music or money bother me as a signs of things  to come :

Now listen a 1 minute video :

Not to be argumentative, but... Well sort of. When you "own"... you do not really. You must pay property taxes and maintenance on the house. You become a slave to your stuff in some ways.  If you own physical stuff, then you have to store it, it clutters your life. It really depends on what. When you can have access to over 10 million albums for the monthly price of one CD, then there is more freedom... and virtually no cost.

Control of all flows ( money,information,people ) by monster corporations

Lost of truth in a virtual world of fictions: how do you know real from fake from events, images, identities ?

Control of "truth" and ministry of "truth" become mandatory and unconscious crowd will ask for it ... Is this ringing a bell ?

I started learning and investing in AI about a year ago and tons of questions like these came to my mind. The conclusion I came to is ... I don't know. And from watching hundreds of videos, I don't think anyone knows how this will all turn out. Even Musk says there's a 10-20% chance it's an existential threat. We're thinking about this from a human perspective, but if we reach ASI we will be ants in comparison. We won't understand how ASI "thinks." So I'm not going to ponder or predict. AI is going to do whatever AI is going to do. We won't stop it and at some point we won't be able to stop it. I just hope it's benevolent.

I saw what can happen in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now it’s almost 25 years later. All I can say is don’t let AI lock you out of anything.

Guaranteed some Bond Villian will come along and use it for their own evil plan with no regard for others . Could be Elon Musk! Drax? I saw it in the movies…..

We’re thinking about this from a human perspective, but if we reach ASI we will be ants in comparison.

My point is precisely the opposite of the one you suggest.

You suggest AGI will be superior to us and will decide. You suggest that we must wait.

My point is precisely that the risk of self erasure of man is almost certain not because AGI will be superior to us but because we will idoloze it as God.

( apart the other serious problem of alignment between a.I. and us

and the more serious distinct problem of alignment between us and the machine

and the totalitarian control over us by corporations using it in a completely digitalized world with no money and social credit as China . You know it is Bill Gates that helped chinese to implement surveillance with social credit digitalization 15 years ago in China, do you ? )

Our social fabric is absolutely immature and ill ...This is an era of incredible challenge.. The only person who observed and described this on a spiritual level was Rudolf Steiner whom i studied extensively 50 years ago reading 200 books...

He described in 1920 all there is about A.I. and even located it in silicon valley which did not exist at the times...

He created organic agriculture and new approach in natural medecine and a new pedagogy and even a new understanding of the threefold social order only to counterbalance the deshumanization of man by techno cultism, as we see it everywhere now..

Waiting for AGI to solve our problem is waiting to die...It is techno cultist attitude...

WE are not computing Turing machine as brain as said Roger Penrose and his friend
