It's incredible. Automating the scientific process and knowledge. It's crazy to think what the world might look like. Both in terms of putting the knowledge into practice and how we think of scientific discovery.

I mean we don't even think about it but currently we are sort of discovery starved. We are fairly able to keep up with the theory. If a new technology is discovered we can implement it before something better comes out. What happens when our N discoveries per days becomes 1000N discoveries per day?

It flips. We now have more knowledge than we know how to capitalize on. We have to search it. Mine it for opportunities.

And then we automate that.

> It's crazy to think what the world might look like.

Since when has ANYONE in power done anything substantial for those not in power? Since when has any form of organization not tried to maximize profits?

Why do you think this ends well in any capacity for common, middle class, and lower class people?

		This is unnecessarily cynical. The trajectory of the human condition has dramatically improved over the centuries. Zoom out a bit please, this sort of progress is why you aren't dying in a winter field from some preventable disease at the ripe age of 30, or why you get to see your children actually grow up.
