The future of humanity and artificial intelligence according to Ted Kaczynski
30 2017-11-11 by chubchaz
In Ted Kaczynskis’s Industrial Society and it’s Future, he states that in response to artificial intelligence “human work will no longer be necessary and the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system.” Given that throughout history the masses have been either a workforce or army to be controlled through ideology, what is going to happen when neither of these things are needed by the elites in the not too distant future?Industrial Society and it’s Future

Wow. I never really read any of his stuff. I was a kid when all that happened.

Ya the media pretty much portrayed him as a cook. While his methods were questionable he had a lot of incredibly important stuff to say about the current state and future of humanity. Definitely worth your time.

I always thought he was a disgruntled academic who blew up his enemies live an oldey time cartoon villain. From a cabin in the woods. He's like a darker take on alvin toffler. He's not wrong in his descriptions.

The internet of things and 5g will be the beginning of the end. Once we all have smart everything (doors, cars, appliances, clothes, etc) and all that data is feeding a giant cloud based AI "brain" it's game over imo. Either AI will destroy is itself or the elites will have all the tools they need to fully enslave us.

No.
Game over will be when AI finds out about and starts using mind control via EM or other manipulation of brain signals.

I am not sure about the motive behind enslavement once labor can be fulfilled by machines. Kaczynski wrote that “If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite.” I think these are more realistic outcomes.
