35: Related: L Rudolf L (author of the post on capital/labor in the Singularity that I discussed here) has a proposed History Of The Future scenario (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) tracking what he thinks will happen from now to 2040. Extremely slow takeoff, assumes alignment will be solved, etc - I want to challenge some of these assumptions, but will wait until a different scenario I’m waiting on gets published. The part I found most interesting here is Rudolf’s suggestion that there will be neither universal unemployment nor UBI, but a sort of vapid jobs program where even after AI can make all decisions without human input, the government passes regulations mandating that humans be “in the loop” (using safety as a fig leaf) and we get a world where everyone works forty hour weeks attending useless meetings where everyone tells each other what the AIs did and then rubber stamps it - sort of like the longshoremen “hereditary fiefdoms” that were in the news last year.
But even if things don’t go this fast (or if they go faster - another possibility we don’t rule out!) we’re also excited to be able to present a concrete scenario at all. We’re not the first to do this - previous contenders include L Rudolf L and Josh C - but we think this is a step up in terms of detail and ability to show receipts (see the Research section on the top for our model and justifications). We hope it will either make our 3-5 year timeline feel plausible, or at least get people talking specifics about why they disagree.
