Deep CRM.

What a great name.

I paused. Was the man most associated with the AI apocalypse telling me this might not turn out so badly? I decided to prod and listen, first asking him what humanity will do if we create a benevolent AI that’s smarter than we are. “Retire, I suppose?” Bostrom said. “If you think about a future where AI has fully succeeded, and it’s able to do everything better than we can do, and there would be no need for human labor any longer, then we would have to rethink a lot of things from the ground up.”

Bostrom acknowledged that we’d need to find new sources of self-worth, but didn’t seem discouraged. Instead, he invoked Disneyland. “The job of the children there is to enjoy the whole thing, and Disneyland would be a rather sad place if it weren’t for the kids,” he said. “We would all be like kids in this giant Disneyland, maybe one that would be maintained and improved by our AI machine tools.”

I love this idea’
