I hope we aren't on track for this future and if we are I hope a substantial number of people rebel.

This is among the more hellish futures I can imagine. Our worth as people reduced to how much access we have to compute. Gross.

I hope not;

there are a few assumptions in this future- the biggest one is - we will have to attain a baseline intelligence which is useful for everyone which is not true today. even fable fumbles hard!!

second is that everyone will have to own a medium to use this intelligence (aka robots). like a currency is useless if you can't use it.

to me this is the least daunting scenario. all other scenarios lead to mass slavery.

		> the biggest one is - we will have to attain a baseline intelligence which is useful for everyone which is not true today That's not the biggest assumption. The biggest assumption I see is that the population will have the baseline understanding of how to operate in this new paradigm, which seems impossible given how useless many people still are with computers Incidentally, this is also why I think Bitcoin is such a non-starter for most people

It doesn't make much sense as compute isn't all that scarce (relative to other commodities) and will be less so in 15 years.

		Does it have to be scarce for it to become a currency? It just needs to be regulated which I think it will be.
