Just give me a way to auto-dismiss. The popup gets old fast. Let me hit Enter to dismiss it at least. Great game. Reminds me of Escape Velocity by Ambrosia.

The text presents a highly optimistic view of the future shaped by AI and deep learning, but there are several areas where the reasoning might be seen as flawed or overly simplistic. Here are some points that could be critiqued:
Overconfidence in Technology: The author expresses a strong belief in the inevitability of AI advancement and its benefits, which may overlook the unpredictability of technological development and the potential for setbacks.
Underestimating Risks: While the potential for prosperity is emphasized, there’s insufficient attention given to the ethical, societal, and environmental risks associated with AI, such as bias, privacy concerns, and job displacement.
Assumption of Universal Benefit: The idea that AI will lead to shared prosperity ignores systemic inequalities that might prevent equitable access to AI technology, potentially leading to a wider wealth gap.
Neglect of Human Factors: The argument largely abstracts from human emotions, societal values, and the complexities of human behavior. The assumption that prosperity will automatically lead to happiness or fulfillment is problematic.
Simplistic Historical Comparisons: The comparison of current advancements to past technological revolutions (e.g., Industrial Age) may not account for the unique challenges posed by AI, such as rapid obsolescence and ethical dilemmas that previous technologies did not face.
Lack of Detailed Solutions: The text calls for action but offers little concrete guidance on how to navigate the complexities of AI’s integration into society, especially regarding labor market changes and ethical considerations.
Optimism Bias: The author’s perspective may be influenced by optimism bias, leading to a potentially unrealistic view of future outcomes without sufficient acknowledgment of the challenges.
Dependence on Infrastructure: While the author correctly identifies the need for infrastructure to support AI, there’s little discussion of the potential for that infrastructure to become a battleground for control, leading to conflicts rather than cooperation.
Diminished Role of Individuals: The portrayal of people relying heavily on AI teams may undermine the value of individual creativity and agency, potentially leading to a society overly dependent on technology.
By examining these points, one can argue that while the vision of a prosperous future powered by AI is compelling, it is essential to approach such ideas with a critical perspective, considering the broader implications and potential pitfalls.
I like this a lot. But Im not such a specific programmer to even fathom how to do this. I do have the skills to learn anything. I just wonder if this would be possible with Erlang.
