Communism or Socialism in the AI Zoo in 2025?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I consider it as the most likely scenario, that AI is quickly reaching above human smartness (AGI) and therefore, we, people, soon will be an exposition in a zoo.

If we want to live, we need just to be a good exposition.

I propose that everybody living only on UBI (universal basic income) isn’t particularly attractive exposition. Instead, we should have business with AI (and UBI, too, I am pro UBI). My system of distributing money, AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is a mix of socialism and capitalism. Socialism because the decision of who is paid how much are taken not by market but by an AI (like a government in socialism, but fully automated) and capitalism, because of freedom of entrepreneurship and because salaries may reach $6 trillion/year just like billionaires in capitalism.

That’s the reasons why I am against communism and pro AI-based socialism. And I do want my own trillion of dollars. Maybe, I will spend most of it for climate and longevity and donating the remained back to AIIM.

FAQ

What does Victor Porton mean by the AI Zoo?

I mean, that in my opinion, the relation of AGI/superintelligence to people will be similar to the relation of people to animals in a zoo. It is likely that superintelligence will surpass us, like we surpass ants. So, don’t think about superintelligence as a partner, think about it as an owner of a pet.

What is Victor Porton’s call for survival of mankind in presence of superintelligence?

I propose that we need to be good pets, that is to learn tricks.

What tricks Victor Porton calls us to learn to survive in presence of superintelligence?

To be good pets of superintelligence, we should learn to use AI Internet-Meritocracy app to earn money. Competing for money this way will be our trick to please AI. This will possibly earn us survival. At the other hand, this is not capitalism, with all its dishonesty that would probably upset the AI.

Why is Victor Porton opposed to communism (in the sense of complete equality)?

As Marxists say, communism is the end of the History. AI (and people themselves) would be bored to watch over communism. We need competition, as a trick to show to AI to be good pets, that it does not decide to abandon or destroy us.
So, we need a game to play in presence of superintelligence. AI Internet-Meritocracy is a very good idea for such a game spreading through human life. Think about it as a very complex computer game.

What will be the economical formation of the AI itself?

I don’t know. But I dare to suppose, that the best economical formation of AI would be capitalism. That’s because unlike people for AI living on a fixed basic income would make no sense: people are approximately equal, but AI power may differ very much. Thus it makes sense for AI to compete for power and money to buy this power. Well, maybe, superintelligent agents will adopt a scheme similar to AI Internet-Meritocracy, but it is unclear how they would choose (voting?) an agent that will run this game for all other agents (and whether its power will be enough to evaluate other AIs’ works). Maybe, something like AI presidency will emerge.
