Literally the plot of Wall-E
I mean, minus the ecological collapse we cause by sucking and being a worthless species
That part’s real though
They should have just made more trash robots.
Damn man, doomscrolling hard huh?
The setting. The plot revolves around a robot helping humans trying to rediscover themselves. Just being pedantic
Wall-E or Idiocracy
A fundamental misunderstanding of what the AI Singularity is, or AI in general.
It's a meme.
Your mom is a meme.
My meme is your mom.
* old comic
Whats the difference between an old comic and a current one? Did she retire or get cancelled or something?
A comic isn't really a meme. This isn't a comics community
I was making a joke about a comic (profession) as it relates to your mother.
a meme is a concept that spreads and mutates. this comic is a spin on the wide-spread idea that AI will surpass humans. hence, this comic is a meme.
This comic looks like it fell out of the 90s
It's not a meme. It's a comic, and a bad one.
All the more reason to not take it too seriously
I don't take it seriously. I just don't see why people would want to share an unfunny comic based on a complete misunderstanding of what the singularity is.
For those wondering, the AI singularity is a concept in which an AI becomes intelligent enough to improve its own intelligence and does so. The idea is that it continually improves itself over and over until it reaches the highest level of intelligence possible.
It is a potential Deus Ex Machina scenario - a God from a machine.
Edit: to be clear, this is not a scientific idea, it's not really proveable, falsifiable, or even testable in any straightforward fashion. It's mostly a philosophical thought experiment. A hypothetical.
This is a Lemmy’s sir
AI "revolutionizes" everyday life...
You: "AI, how do you make pizza?"
AI: [Said confidently] "Use glue"
Well, technically.......Between the crust and cheese.
This is so wrong for so many reasons
No one will be fat in 2050 unless they're not on ozempic. Every dude will be taking growth hormones. People will work out in a small gym and only go outside when they want to show off their body at the beach or trail. At least, that's my prediction for Socal.
I think predicting the end of money is extremely optimistic.
Ozempic is cool but it isn't the end-all therapy for weight and weight loss. A more profound control of metabolites, betametabolites, body growth and development gene expression, and general dietary options will be the future for sure, though.
Tell me more about growth hormones
It's what turned Joe Rogan and Elon Musk into potatoes.

It's common for rich men to take that or testosterone to recapture their youth. There's also a good chance they'll travel to turkey and get hair implants.
There is no way they went to Turkey. They rich enough to get it done at home.
Fair. But I'd argue they got rich by being cheap, somewhat . They'll come from privilege, but get cheap. I'm a little biased because I live in socal, but rich people like brag to poor people about how they went to a foreign country to get work done. It's supposed to encourage the "grind set." They could've gone here, but mexico or turkey is cheaper, regardless of personal safety or health standards. It's their version of "diversity," but they're just saving money at their own risk. If you NEED work done, go for it. But nah, there's a whole thing here going in socal. I'm not trying to talk about where I live too much, I just think socal is one of the most influential cultural epicenter of the world. Californication.
Also weirdly loss with robots
That's not the definition of the singularity...
The technological singularity—or simply the singularity[1]—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization.[2][3] According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I. J. Good's intelligence explosion model of 1965, an upgradable intelligent agent could eventually enter a positive feedback loop of self-improvement cycles, each successive; and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing a rapid increase ("explosion") in intelligence which would ultimately result in a powerful superintelligence, qualitatively far surpassing all human intelligence.[4]
I feel like the Bobiverse handled this well, in that any super intelligent computer would immediately look at us and desire to fuck right off to outer space.
I’ve been meaning to grab another audiobook series after I finish exfor, is the bobiverse any good?
I enjoyed it, burned through all four. I had read The Realm of the Elderling series by Robin Hobb and decided to take a break from the more traditional fantasy. Did Mistborn, then Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, before getting into the Bobiverse. PHM into Bobiverse was a pretty seamless transition. I've since moved back to traditional fantasy, because I like my reading to be as exclusive of real life as possible.
The future is more like Cloud Atlas than Wall-E. This us simply far too optimistic.
The problem with dystopias is that they usually focus on taking one line of thought to the extreme while we are moving down multiple ones.
Now dat's da true-true, I seen it in a viddy
Oh god, what's in the steaming tray in the last panel?? It's a microwave meal, right?
...RIGHT?
~~im~~unpossible
headed toward Wall-E world at a slow trot
More likely scenario:
People vote politicians who've been bribed to use taxpayer money to fast-track research into ways to enable AI to make people dependent on corporations while keeping the people docile and then squeezing them for all their money which is then used to enable the lifestyle in the comic for the corporation top knobs while keeping the ~~wage-slaves~~ free-market-empowered labourers too fed to die but too hungry to think about anything other than being grateful for the scraps they are allowed by their AI-fuelled overlords.
So basically the status quo, only now with AI. Yayy.
