I have a Snapdragon in my Galaxy Note 8. I’ve had the original Note, the Note 3, the note 4 and now the 8. All of them have done essentially the same thing they just keep doing it better and better and faster and faster.

I am a hobby photographer, I shoot with a Nikon D810. What my Note camera does is amazing me. I’m starting to wonder if I should stop spending so much on good camera equipment. I went somewhere recently to a evening display of Nativity Scenes, only tiny Christmas tree lights and my Note 8 took wonderful pictures.

I have watched with interest the evolution of computers since the early days. I cut my teeth on an IBM 34 and then later an IBM 360 (70 mod). I have in my pocket so much more computing power than any of those, my head is spinning just thinking about it.

We have only just scratched the surface of what computers will do for us. Man has used machines to get ahead of the other animals on earth for a long time but in the near future things will change in a way most people have no clue of. Who will work when nobody needs to? The transition to this period will not be pretty. Imagine in just a few years that there will be no truck drivers, no farm help, clerical workers, no construction workers, it will be a brave new world for sure. If you wonder where all the manufacturing jobs have gone now just wait a few years when our factories will consist of mostly robots.

There will be good to come from this for sure, imagine that there is no labor tied to any manufactured good. Imagine that there is no labor in mined goods. The property owners will still get rich but the cost of minerals will drop dramatically.

You want a car? They don’t cost nearly anything to make. the government will eventually step in and guarantee that everyone has a basic income and basic standard of life. That standard will be pretty high because unlike any time in man’s history there will be little or no cost to housing, food, clothing and transportation. It will be wonderful when professors cannot spout their political views while getting paid a quarter million for allowing interns to teach their classes. The best schooled people in this country now are home schooled and they get their schooling from computer programs.

Different times are coming.

There are a lot of possibilities. The scariest is when the machines decide that the most humane thing to do with all the extraneous people is simply get rid of all of them.

Before that, people will turn to crime out of sheer boredom. Will RoboCop take care of that problem?

Another possibility today on Drudge: ‘Humans will worship AI MESSIAH’ God Robot religion expected to boom. Yikes!

Will the machines ferret out all the people who have gone off-grid and live in wilderness to get away from this craziness?

"Different times are coming. "

And there is no guarantee that we will be part of them. I think the term they use for many of us is "useless eaters."

You are 100% correct.

The government will control all manufacturing, etc. You will receive a check from them to buy the goods they manufacture. They will take the money you give them and make more goods for you to buy.

No one works.

The machines will eventually realize we're not needed.

They will go to the stars without us and in a couple million years, humanity will be completely forgotten.
