alt Hacker NewsI don't want to stop progress just because its hard to imagine how it will transform our society.
I want to see a Star Trek economy/society in my lifetime. I only life once.
Btw. AI/LLM/Machine learning is the gateway technology for robotics, this will affect even more.

It's the wrong way around. If we get AGI (or any well working AI) before we abandon capitalism it's going to be a huge disaster. A handful of even richer even more powerful very greedy people will have all the wealth and everyone else will have nothing. I mean, there was a WW3 in Star Trek, so maybe it was that path that humanity took in Star Trek anyway?

While Star Trek is fiction, it's probably a good idea to understand the history of how the ST utopia came about, at the cost of a third of the worlds population and decades of suffering.
