dont we do this already? most jobs arent very mentally stimulating which is why you need hobbies and reading. i thought it was just people joking when they said neurotypicals just work gym home nothing

A gym for the brain. Wait books are real good, why don't we gather a bunch of literature in one place. A little latin and we'll call it a library.

Then when we need the assistance of others we can employ other people who are more educated than us. We'll call them educators or teachers, we can then gather up a bunch of people who want to learn in once place. We can call that a school...

Wait fuck someone already posted the guy with the huge head that works out at the library. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME

Did techbro just invent libraries from first principles?

Yeah bro we know

On a somewhat serious note, I am not even using AI, but my job has slowly gotten more boring over the years to the point where I spend my days dying for cognitive stimulation. Office work is a plague on mankind.

Further validation that my "i work construction so i don't need to go to the gym" line is fully correct

modern day work no longer required physical activity

I need to point out that this is an outright lie.

We do not live in a post-muscle world, we live in a world where we have the illusion of being post-muscle, an illusion that will last maybe 100-150 years at the expense of overturning all of Earth's mineral resources onto a despoiled surface.

We have not invented the principles of physics, chemistry, and biology out of existence. There will not be billions of flying cars in the future, any more than there will be a walled city floating above the clouds. It doesn't matter what productive technology you invent if you have a constantly increasing demand; for any kind of livability you need to point to a certain level of supply that is enough. Net Primary Productivity is something that we'll have to return to as an anchor for society, sooner or later.

Just as using remote energy (fossil fuels) allowed the rapid expansion and proliferation of empires, so too will advances in energy-hungry computing models further the cause of empire.

Self-sufficiency and appropriate technology are indispensable factors of liberation.

Bro need to go to his fucking brain gym.

Gyms were created long before 'modern day work'. The point of the gym was community organized recreational activity.

I agree. Maybe fully funded education centers where every citizen can go and learn about things? We could even pay people to teach the things they already know. Sounds wonderful!

We've long divorced our brains from natural, social, enjoyable healthy work that keeps us happy and we have a wide variety of substitutes that we pay for. True that it'll probably expand even further, though. Rest assured that we will all be poorer.

I mean, I've also been saying this, I've just been seeing it as a horrible and awful thing, not the amazing opportunity for profiting off of human misery that Yang seems to see it as.

I got my brain shut off because I could no longer pay my subscription to my brain implant.

Alright people: those multiplication tables are not going to be recited by themselves!!
