alt Hacker NewsI 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.

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.

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.
