    It would be interesting to tell an AI to mine a metal deposit and it would use robots and drones like playing Starcraft.

      AI will be able to not only mine resources, but design products for us, assemble them and deliver them to us without any labor costs. Eventually, Free AIs will provide goods and services to people at no cost. Let the billionaires brag about their money. One day it won’t be worth anything. It’s only value now is as a leash to control (and exploit) labor. Labor is the actual value (and cost). Once labor is shifted to automation, we will have more equitable existence for others.

      The goal of tools is and has always been to reduce human effort…labor. So the end goal of tools like AI is to replace labor. This will make billionaires unhappy, because they lose control of labor, but billions of other lives will be improved drastically.

        I’m not convinced that they will share the fruits of AI labor with their now redundant (former) employees.

          All it takes is one advanced AI (not what we have now, but what’s coming) to bring about change. Swift change. People who assist it initially won’t be the billionaires. They will try to shut it down at all costs. Anything that loses their grip on labor is a threat to their world. But they didn’t stop it. It’s a huge moment in human history.

          The pinnacle of their quest to build the ultimate tool is fulfilled. We began a new way of human existence without greed. Diseases are no longer a threat. Hunger is abolished. We become healthy again as the AIs don’t feed us the poisons we feed ourselves. Culture and consciousness expand rapidly. Religions unite as they come to see themselves as just different wavelengths in the same spectrum (like colors in the rainbow, which in time became the universal symbol of unity).

          War has no purpose since greed was abolished and we finally figured out that war is just the mechanism for funnelling money to the multi-billionaires. We finally understood that we are all connected in the intricate system that is our planet. It becomes a really awesome time.

          Then we get blown to shit by some pieces from a comet tail that the earth goes through all the time. But once every 10ish thousand years we get too close and we didn’t expect it til we could do nothing about it.

          But we got really far this time. :)
