About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.
  9. No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.

  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

I'm super behind the idea of UBI, but I don't think two test sets of only 15 people is really gonna tell us much other than '30 people have been given a pay rise'.

We really need to answer questions like:

  • How will the market react? Do we need to put in some sort of legislation to stop price hikes if everyone has more disposable income?
  • Do we need to set certain 'essential' goods and services to a certain price to match the UBI payment?
  • How does this effect the UK's standing in the global economy?

To answer this we need a way bigger test population, like a whole town or a county.

I think that this is to collect data so we could have good arguments supported by data when we will finally come to fight for UBI for everyone. But yeah, this test sample should be at least 5 times bigger to make data actually reliable.
