Great video.

Yes, chips are everytime smaller, faster, ...
But it look likes the computer intelligence do not follow the Moore rule.
AI has been almost abandoned?
I still not see any real software revolution, mainly hardware improvements.
And you?

I read your post a few times but still am not sure what you are trying to say

My post is in reference to population and the exponential growth. In the past disease and famine have reduced populations. The result is the population we have today. Without a history of disease and famine, our current population would be much larger. Today we fight disease and famine much more effectively. What impact will that have on future population levels?

Also, we keep people alive longer. What is the cost of that and who pays it enventually? We use medicine to keep people alive beyond their natural life. Which means they will need more medical care and need to collect social benefits longer.

If you provide medicine to an aids-infected mother, how many more aids infected children is she likely to give birth to? You will need more medicine for them, won't you. If you provide famine relief to millions of people...how many more millions will there be next time there is a famine? Currently we put our respect for life ahead of what would be best for humanity as a whole. It says a great thing about us, but it comes at a price. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it but I would give consideration to ways to prevent the future issues that our generousity and our humanity creates.

Thanks for explaining, makes much more sense now.
