But seriously, people have always been that stupid, it's just that capitalism and fascism are a race towards the bottom, that speeds up over time.

in reply to StopTech • • •2035? I'd have argued most of these things are already here or at least trivially close...
no privacy - Corporate overlords have been declaring us "post-privacy" for a looooong-ass time, and Governments and their enforcers have been chomping at the bit for at least as long, because they want in on the game
robot cops - Palantir Gotham plus semi-autonomous drones; It's a question of degree, not of when.
robots displacing workers - Has literally been happening for more than half a century; The current LLM bullshit is going to give it another push, obviously.
robot rights - Well, are LLM companies just violating copyright or are LLMs simply ordinary artists that learn by looking at other folks art, just like their human forebears? (It doesn't matter what you think, it matters what we as society ultimately make of that and I wouldn't be optimistic)
criminals with hundreds of drones - They've been running humongous botnets for decades; If they see a business case for doing something drone-wise in meatspace they'll absofuckinglutely do so

If you aren't expecting some variation of full-on Cyberpunk right now I honestly don't know what you're waiting for...

in reply to StopTech • • •Surely they're gonna build a robot police force with no oil, no gallium, and no robot factories.
I predict a 2035 with no europe.
(Although I do like the idea of being a criminal commanding hundreds of robots. The republican space cops with their slave armies and idealism magic would hate me. CIS ftw.)

in reply to StopTech • • •Whats the alternative, let China and Russia build up the technology and we stay in the past?
The US has the largest military because its the reserve currency, they print money and export their inflation and they spend that money on military expenditures, which prevents people from moving off USD.
This then lets them sanction other countries and control the worlds shipping lanes, so asking them to stop developing their military is asking for the existing global order to cease to exist, and then you're at the whims of whatever power fills that void.

in reply to StopTech • • •So you require that people just boycott countries like China, stop buying their trinkets and they'll stop creating doomsday weapons?

in reply to m532 • • •Ruling with an iron fist tends to create resistance and without mass surveillance technology an unpopular regime couldn't keep everyone in line. But if instead most people are in agreement about something being bad (like they are with slavery or pedophilia) then there is much less resistance to enforcement against it (whether that's centralized or decentralized enforcement) and therefore that thing is more effectively stopped.
While lone individuals or small secretive groups could continue doing the bad practice, in terms of technology I don't think this will matter much because they won't be able to develop a lot of technology with only a small group of people who aren't building on other people's work and their technology also wouldn't be adopted by a society that is against it.
