Not all of the humans will lose the ability to think.
Some will, however, think of how to do evil.
Right now we are destroying the biosphere so some men can live lives in excess of kings.
AI is probably best seen as part of that trend, because it is magnifying it.
The humans who can think are oppressing the ones that don't, keeping them from learning to think and solving these problems.
Whether they do that with AI or not only changes how rapidly it happens, and how rapidly the climate runs away to the point that it destroys all modern civilizations.
It probably won't make humans extinct... but it will make all prior mishaps for humanity look like a sunday picnic.

To me that is real value and not 'slop'.
The question is, what happens when you try to maintain it? Is it even feasible or do you just have to do the job over again? And can the world sustain every job being done over and over again with AI?

This is a chicken and egg situation which is easily resolved with legislation. The government mandates that apartments, supermarkets and other car parks gain charging spots. They mandate new builds have chargers as part of construction sign off.
So your plan is to solve this problem within 40 years?

That's not a thing. A part that cheap that becomes a sticking point will be reverse engineered and reproduced... By the Chinese in fact. It will show up on AliExpress with all the thousands of other parts like that

Apple supports Trump all day. If you support Apple, so do you. But I don't, because I'm against child rape.

Flock is potentially an enormously useful tool, but most cops aren't smart enough to use it correctly. That does make it a poorly designed tool, since they are apparently the primary target market. It's also too easily abused to be allowed to exist.

If the wrong equipment is used it absolutely can cause this kind of damage, and your comment only proves that you have no idea what you're talking about AND didn't bother to do a web search as a sanity check like a competent person would have done.

Those people are voting for violence. You left that out of your analysis, despite it being of critical importance. It's that because it destroyed your argument completely?

If it's only a thousand dollars, that's nowhere near 1% money. But I also can't believe it will be with owning at that price.
