RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Im kinda old and its all very surreal to me. I did well in school and went into stem and dreamed of doing research. I think I envisioned a star trek kind of future where researching was what many people did and automation and such would make us a more egalitarian society. I spent my youth seeing the next millenium around the corner and thinking it would be the start of a true human eutopia. Then the millenium actually came and things just got worse and worse and worse.

I don't think achieving agi and automation is gonna end well for us plebs sadly, maybe im too pessimistic but they need us cause we are their worker ants, what happens when they don't ?

Well if they can automate everything including resource sourcing and supply chain, the billionaire class won't need us .

Even with fleshlights blowjobs still sell so take heart. You will never go hungry as long as you are good with 25 calories at a time. So like only need to do like 50 a day. Maybe a 100. Or like 37 in a row (that is from the movie clerks)
