Yup , Something to prep for.
If you dont own land already, Id buy some ASAP. Land will always have value and once jobs are gone or greatly reduced, the incentives to live in large communities will significantly decrease, I expect land value to increase.

no job = no money = not buying land

how will prices sky rocket if most don't have jobs or money ?
things will still have value, Id suggest buying land before things get wild basically, theres a chance it will be easier to acquire things after the singularity, especially things that can be created, but land is finite, no one is making more of it, I dont expect its going to become easier to acquire in the future, I could be wrong.

There will still be jobs, probably more than ever before once AI starts printing blueprints of it's creations it will outpace the workforce fast. but it could easily backfire at any time.

Reliability and capabilities are still to be determined , we only know the concept and some of the capabilities at this point. I wouldn't doubt that AI wars will be a common thing where countries will try to enable and disable what ever they can to drag other countries down.

I'm hoping to pick my boys brain this weekend on the subject, when he first started telling me about AI , I was having a hard time wrapping my head around it, and ready to raise the BS flag but everything he told me back then seems well within reason today or it's already happened, and here we have 2 facilities being built in ND already.

By definition, artificial is the opposite of natural. Created by man. A copy of something in the natural world. Heavenly Father created the natural world and for time immemorial mankind has tried to copy God, improve on His creations, and in many ways just plain be God. It ALWAYS ends badly for mankind. Take cities for example. An almost completely artificial environment and almost every facet of city living negatively impacts people. Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, and Emotionally. People, when they can't take the stress and pressure of living in the artificial world man has created, ie the cities, they inevitably seek out the natural world. Hunters/Fishermen on this very site can attest to that. People need the natural, the original, they NEED Gods creations. Not a cheap copy. To answer your question, NO, I am as far from excited as one can be.
This 100%

4 actually......hell might be more then that by now. These damn things get going faster then a cold bug thru a daycare. I still don't understand how they can cut thru all the red tape of permitting and EPA studies for these things.

I work with AI every day. It will be the end of humanity. The only questions are when and how.
Why do you say that, can you explain why. I have never used it. So I have no idea if I'm missing anything or not.

they are already doing this, AI is currently solving math problems humans have not been able to solve. It will unlock a world of science we have only been able to imagine to this point.
If it is solving math problems that man couldn't solve, why do we need it solved then. We went thru life not knowing what the answer or problem was.

no doubt AI has massive military applications, the fact that the US is developing another human operated fighter jet, considering where we are technologically, is just utter stupidity.
No, it really is not stupid, at least for the time being. I am 100% sure we, the US, already has weapons including autonomous aircraft, laser technology and internet counter AI weapons most of us can't fathom. We also know the enemies capabilities and what they are working on. Why show our hand now with a pilotless fighter? There were people who shit themselves because the Russians put an autoloader in the new at the time T72 tanks thinking they were going to roll through the Fulda gap, obliterate NATO, rule Europe then the world. It never would have happened. That autoloader was SLOW, we countered with crew survivability and the human brain to load the round needed at the time and would have killed them 10 to 1. The computer between the ears, as long as those ears are not lower than the eyes, will always prevail.
