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:
- 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.
- No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
- Keep posts on topic.
- Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
- No posts linking to reddit posts.
- 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.
- Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
- Please be respectful to each other.
- No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
- (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
- No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
- If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".
- Please be respectful to each other.

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.

Yeah, I'm also a huge advocate for universal basic healthcare. I have ADHD and it affects my life a lot and it did since childhood to the point that I consider myself disabled. I got depression from it and other indirect problems. I also have undiagnosed ARFID but I very rarely visit any doctor or psychiatrist to work on those issues because I don't have money for that stuff. And there's a thing I don't understand, I already have it far worse than healthy people so why should I pay additional fines for having it worse in life than others? It's not like I decided to have all those problems and I have to pay not a small amount of money for coping with them.
Regarding routine healthcare, it would save soooooooo many lives that can easly be saved just by checking if everything is alright from time to time.
UBI should apply to necessary spends like public transport, grocery and maintenance. Allowing ubi per person might make people have multiple kids to share their resources without any meaningful contribution. UBI for your needs and work for your dreams (car, Gucci/ luxury brands)
The present data doesn't factor in people not having to work and in a normal case other than the top 1% almost everyone has to work to earn their wealth. If people don't have to go to work then what'll be done with the free time ? Reproduction is what we are wired for. What's the purpose of a life where you have no impact on your surroundings ?
