So I was watching this Dave Cullen video yesterday on Youtube of how Tesla is now building actual robots to help Humans around the house whether it be cooking, cleaning, raking the leaves, and other chores related crap like that.
Here is the Video so you guys get what I am talking about:
Dave then goes on about how he worries that in the future Humans might become so dependent on robots to build things for them, and overall maintain society for them that Humans might become stupid only playing videogames all day, and not doing something that is mentally stimulating for them to help with their development as a species, and this could spell the end of the Human race.
After watching this I keep thinking that if Humans were to get too dependent on robots to do everything for us in the near or distant future that a situation may occur in nature where an EMP aka Electromagnetic Pulse might just occur where all the technology such as robots may get fried long with all the knowledge of how Humans can build houses or create fire.
Which will likely cause these Humans who are too overly dependent on robots to do everything for them to go crazy, because they like children are now without parents to look after them which would likely cause these future Humans to be completely lost without technology as they don’t know how to make or maintain it in the near or distant future since it died with the robots that got fried because of the EMP.
Humans will likely go feral like dogs, and it would cause Humans to take about 100 to 1000 years for Humans to regain their Human intelligence to be able to build or create things again like creating technology like we have now.
I thought more about this, and I can’t help but think that a situation like what I talked about might’ve actually occurred in our distant past. That maybe a very, very long time ago our ancestors had advanced technology like what we have now or was even more advanced which might explain how the Pyramids of Egypt were built.
They built robots that these advanced Humans in the past gave all their responsibilities like constructing buildings, designing technology, and pretty much anything production related to the robots to do for them….then an EMP somehow occurred in nature….and these advanced Humans in the past didn’t know how to prepare for it as they were too dependent on their robot servants to do the thinking for them, and they went crazy in a world that overnight suddenly didn’t have technology anymore as they lost the knowledge because they gave it all away to the robots who got fried by the EMP.
So in my opinion we might not have to worry about a Terminator future where robots take over, and kill us as EMPs occurring in nature can happen that would fry all the Terminator robots away along with all the tech we have now or will have in the future. What we might have to worry about is a future where we Humans lose everything then go back to the Stone Age to start all over again.
In my own opinion if we want to stop this Stone Age regression future from happening we should do instead is don’t out source everything to robots we are going to create in the future but instead have Humans continue to build things like we are doing now along side the robots, and have it in the back of our heads that anyday now an EMP can or will occur whether man made or by nature, and we can lose everything overnight like technology like computers, and other advanced tech like that.
That if we lose the robots who do our tech manufacturing that Humans can easily pick up the slack, and do just a good or better job than the robots so that we can rebuild them along with any other tech to keep our advanced society going, and we should put in checks in balances to make sure the robots don’t go Terminator on us.
What do you all in the G+G Community think?
I get what you are saying, but it’s already kind of this way. There are already plans for “15 Minute Cities.” In many ways, we are a post-industrial nation with all the industry and manufacturing that has already been outsourced. In the same way, there was some post about how over half the country a hundred years ago grew their own food in some way and now, it’s less than 2 percent.
There is also talk of cyber attacks and the lights going out. In both scenarios that you mentioned, I think that both are plausible deniability strategies in terms of they will point at the people or the robots and blame something else in a misdirection to what they are doing, much like what has been happening with the recent wars of extortion. You also see it with the natural disasters, the government and media says nothing can be done, as they import invaders and give them hotels and flat screens.
As for dependency, the east has an engineering class 10 times the size of the west, which makes sense because they have billion strong populations. If you look at STEM games, models, or LEGOs or things like that, if they just had time allocated to robots, then, there would be no concern. I do think it’s an issue because I would be lost, but a younger relative of mine is way into robots and competes in the Battle Bots contests in schools and is always working on his robot.
This is one beef I kind of have with James Cameron. There’s this notion to blame the Ai or Skynet, but after the DEW attacks, the mass border invasion, the fog of war looting, it would take a director with guts, someone like Todd Phillips, to say, no, it’s globalist oligarchs that are behind the robot terminator attacks, or drone attacks, or cyber attacks on the power grid. It’s the corporate shark takeover class. That is reality. The technocrats are already laying plans for that with digital currency. First, the dependency, then the hoops to jump thru, but with the biometrics and stuff, I think they will make the future way too much hassle instead of how convenient it could be.
Think about it. Another thing is the payment processors or paywalls and the middlemen who decide who gets paid. I don’t even like the way things are now. Shouldn’t we be able to point and click and send money to any struggling family we want right now without some 4 step dual authenticator super hassle? They already have a million ways to identify you, but instead, they make it an obstacle course just to tip someone fifty bucks who had their house wiped out or a ton of medical bills. To me, this is a great failure of tech. Also, that I would ever get an email from a “donotreply@” address or some Ai chat bot that is NEVER EVER helpful. That is a stonewall and the point at which you know they are frauds and you got ripped off.
Our evolution in technology (in general) has already slowed greatly and we are losing ability left and right and I believe AI will finish that off. Once knowledge is put into AI and people can easily rely on that knowledge then people quickly lose the foundational understanding of that knowledge. Programming is so outsourced to places like India and China that the people who write the code are not anywhere near the people using it which has degraded things. Once someone can say, write me an application that does xyz, then even slave wages in China will seem too much. And then very few will understand code beyond how to ask AI how to make it. But eventually no one will even know how to fix bad AI code.
Also, most everything we use in common tech today is simply an evolution of something invented between the 40s and 70s. In my experience and perception there have been very few foundational new technologies invented since then. We went to the moon in the 60’s and now NASA has no capability for human space travel for example and relies on SpaceX.
The engine of much technical revolution was the economic powerhouse that was the US which fostered innovation and competition at an unseen rate. But now since the government regulates so much industry, has allowed and encouraged full consolidation, stifled meritocracy and sold out every job possible to other countries we no longer invent or evolve much of anything. It’s the same reasons Madden Football sucks every year and why AAA is now synonymous with overpriced failure which used to be exclusive to just the government.
