Every single human spending their entire lives high on a futuristic opiate-like drug
Special AI working day and night to optimize the human brain to sustain this level of opiates for hundreds of years without losing the sense of please or dying
Another AI working to convert all matter in the universe into human brains and opiates (without destroying other brains of course)
Its not very fun to read or discuss but isn’t this the true endgame for humanity? Why settle for a “good life” when everyone could have a “perfect life”?
Very few people actually want to wirehead. Pleasure center stimulation is not the primary thing we value. The broader point there is the complexity of value thesis
Wouldn’t a true utopia include something like:
