Techno-utopian vision; bully for the economy, still not clear on jobs and wealth distribution. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/wp/2014/01/02/how-the-united-states-is-reinventing-itself-yet-again/ … cc /@jstogdill

@alephbass@jstogdill not read the blog yet but I can tell you in the future everything will be free, which means nobody will need to work. -
@2045singularity@alephbass So awesome. I hope we have Wall-E's too! -
@jstogdill@2045singularity so that’s what it feels like to have religious fanatics show up; remarkably similar to other missionaries. -
@alephbass@2045singularity Just for the record, is "singularity utopia" for real or a parody? Serious question. -
@jstogdill@2045singularity now is the time to invoke Poe’s Law. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoesLaw … -
@alephbass@jstogdill never had Poe's Law invoked in my 4yrs of blogging. 1st time for everything. Seems like a#Catch22#CosmicTeapot law. -
@2045singularity@jstogdill singularity and the tech it entails is a discontinuity and very difficult to plan past or argue with; -
@alephbass@2045singularity But with or w/o a singularity, the future has always been difficult to predict. :) -
@jstogdill@alephbass we have much more evidence now thus predictions can be accurate. Look at cost of mobiles 1986-2014, $3.7K versus $8. -
@jstogdill@alephbass hard drives show similar increase in performance and decrease in costs. Moore's Law has been accurate. -
@2045singularity@jstogdill yes, yes - do you think we’re not aware of this? Predicting the when and what of AGI is still fraught. -
@alephbass@jstogdill even if we didn't invent AGI and current tech is merely refined, similar to technology history, this would be enough. -
@alephbass@jstogdill tech in 2014 is much faster-powerful than 1984, even with no extra acceleration, current improved tech = utopia 2045. -
@2045singularity@jstogdill clearly, you don’t work in software. In any case, my brick is with your certainty of exact outcome, not trends. -
@alephbass@2045singularity Also, assuming that technological advance automagically = utopia. Worst assumption ever.
Singularity Utopia

@jstogdill @alephbass is isn't a matter of assumption, it's logical projection of progress, the reality of how technology changes world.
