A popularity-based wealth distribution scheme. What could go wrong?<p>Reminds me of <a href="https://community-sitcom.fandom.com/wiki/MeowMeowBeenz" rel="nofollow">https://community-sitcom.fandom.com/wiki/MeowMeowBeenz</a>
Isn't this the plot to the episode "Nosedive" of Black Mirror? Isn't the outcome of such a system obvious? It's very clear that allowing people to rank one another in a way that results in dire economic outcomes results in a deeply bifurcated society, and in this scenario there's no out.
Calls it “HumaneRank”, this is already off to a shaky start.<p>> Imagine a system in which every month, every human in the nation state or other political polity participates in an exercise of the grant of endorsements to other humans<p>My guy, we’ve literally written dystopian sci-fi stories about this. The most 1:1 identical one being that Black Mirror episode. How can you <i>possibly</i> think this is a good idea?
Might be better to have a hubs and authority score. It could be “being a good producer” and “being a good judge” are different things. Problem is you can clone somebody’s hub score by stealing their judgements.
This is terrible idea that will be aggressively rejected by humanity.<p>This is exactly the type of "tech bros are completely out if touch with how people work" vision of the future I guess we should expect from the guy that wrote this article.<p>Humanity has never lived in a world where leisure and idle time are not constantly being invaded by the oppressive survival demands or a hierarchal authoritarian mandate from a ruling class. If AI does provide a mechanism to allow humans to spend their free time in true leisure, like most of humanity living in the Star Trek future, then we should embrace it. Not straddle humans with artificial subordination.<p>Reject this as all costs.
Interesting idea, I bet it can still be gamed because this is fancy voting and voting gets gamed a lot — the devil is in the details, rather than the grand vision.
If superintelligence means a robot that looks, acts like a human in every way plus infinitely smarter, that does not mean human is lower value. There are people smarter and richer than me, but so what? Maybe they got lucky, and had better upbringing etc. same with machines/agi
