Robo golf.

Golf future. Bring a driving range to Regina.

And then I had all these visions of alternate driving ranges, for Regina or for the lake or the farm.

And then. After listening to that podcast on our drive home yesterday. The idea of robo golf.

It’s like. What things are humans going to want to do post “agi”

And then. What businesses are going to exist. Be viable.

Golf.

Games.

Fun.

Learning. Growth. Gardens.

Video games.

Creating games.

Virtual worlds.

Ready player one.

Those who get ubi will be chill. Use that to budget.

In theory. Housing becomes zero cost.

But then who gets to live where.

If materials are free to build with. If energy is free to produce.

I gather new forms of physics, of renewable energy capture, new motors, new chemistry, etc.

And it happens not slow. But instant.

All at once.

Kaboom.

There’s debate on how it goes down. The transition for every job.

Like. If the ai just has infinite energy, can spin up like unimaginable stuff. And then poof?

To speculate on it. Just the exact nature of it.

But one thing is for sure on that path. These concepts of mining for materials, assembling, manufacturing, distribution etc.

What’s saying they don’t invent the ability to just deploy atoms. I was gonnna say nano robots, that just fill the shape of exactly what you imagine. Like you would see digitally, fully rendered irl. But then you can edit irl. Like a videogame you can touch. Live in. Sims IRL

The simulation.

This idea sounds impossible. But like. What if it’s real. If the way we make things, fundamentally is just a silly thing humans decided to do because it’s all they could do. But it’s silly if you compare to being able to just build with your mind. Kids can’t believe we had to make things, scraping, drilling, digging, chopping away at the earth. So barbaric.

So wasteful too, when you could use additive incognito manufacturing.

Woah, yeah thinking the double edge of the sword.

One thing is certain. Humans with all their basic needs met. And then if that’s done plus a million. If we’re all living the sims. Together. Then humans are wayyy less likely to turmoil with each other, over petty things. Don’t like it? Switch channels.

This land we fight over. Here on earth? That’s so caveman, the universe is abundant.

Ends world war instantly.

Humanity awakens.

And then yeah. Human experience. Like dog parks.

Like the freaking sims. Where it’s still fun to take your human to the park. To have relationships, to play games.

If your life is a videogame already.

Nothing changes.

And golf.

For sure golf.

Ok, this is wild. I tried to not lead it by offering. Maybe instead of people needing to be there physically, the virtual experience would actually be just as good. Most people are just npc anyway. Maybe kind of like Tron.

Anyways, here’s what it gave me.

Prompt: If agi makes everything cost zero to create. And we’re living in this utopia of abundance. And travel costs nothing, effectively.  How is travel managed for humans. If places are busy already how will it be managed when everyone could travel everywhere all at once 

Chat gpt 4

You’re asking a profound and practical question:

In a post-scarcity world powered by AGI, where creation and travel are effectively free, how do we manage human movement when physical space is still limited?

Here’s a breakdown of how that could play out:

🧠 Foundational Principle:

Even in a utopia of infinite abundance, scarcity of space and time still exists.

You can make unlimited planes, trains, and hotels—but you can’t make two people occupy the same mountain peak at the same sunset, or fit a million tourists into a small town square at once. So coordination and regulation remain essential.

🚦How Travel Could Be Managed in a Post-Scarcity World

1. Demand-Based Scheduling and Allocation (Soft Rationing)

AGI could:

Track real-time interest in destinations. Assign time slots for access (like virtual queuing). Offer alternative suggestions to evenly distribute traffic across time and geography.

Like a super-optimized version of today’s dynamic pricing, except there’s no price—just intelligent, fair allocation.

Example: You want to see the Louvre? The AGI says: “Slot available Wednesday 2 PM. Too crowded otherwise, but here’s a VR-lifelike preview, or you can go to a nearly identical experience in Tokyo.”

2. Hyperreal Virtual Travel

When physical space is full, ultra-immersive virtual experiences could fill the gap.

Real-world locations scanned at atomic fidelity. Shared social presence via neural/VR links. For many, virtual will be better than real. No crowds. Pause time. Fly.

Many people might prefer virtual visits over real ones—just like many today prefer watching sports at home on a giant screen.

3. Simulated “Real” Experiences (Personal Worlds)

AGI could generate synthetic worlds indistinguishable from reality.

You could walk the “real” streets of Paris, except it’s your Paris. Social experiences would be synced with others when needed, desynced otherwise.

Like multiplayer games today, but indistinguishable from life.

4. Permissioned Real-World Travel via a Post-Scarcity “Travel Protocol”

Think of it like traffic control meets democratic governance:

AGI systems predict, model, and balance usage. Priority is shared fairly (or by values set collectively). You might “apply” for access to scarce experiences, like rare wildlife habitats or historical ruins.

You could travel anywhere, but not necessarily whenever you want.

5. Social Contracts & Governance

In a utopia, society likely chooses values like:

Ecological preservation Respect for community rhythms (e.g., Venice or Kyoto not overwhelmed daily) Global fairness in access

Democratically chosen AGI-driven systems could:

Rotate access between regions. Limit over-tourism. Redistribute interest via global incentives and storytelling.

6. Mobile Infrastructure

If people want to see Machu Picchu, maybe:

We replicate the experience elsewhere (teleportable, modular architecture). Moveable habitats or flying observatories bring the destination to the traveler.

🧠 Summary Thought:

Even when the cost to create and travel is zero, physical reality still imposes bottlenecks.

AGI would likely manage these bottlenecks not with money, but with intelligence, fairness, simulation, and social coordination.

It wouldn’t be perfect freedom, but it could be the most optimally shared freedom humans have ever known.

5:52 and this all happens within the next two years?

Next year it looks like we’ll get the new physics. Based on grok. I mean. Chat gpt 5 might have that, are they ahead? The last exam. And predictions by musk. Not evenly distributed. Am I the only one who saw this?

4:47pm. I went out for my run at lunch. My legs are sore. I did a bit of a workout after. I stretched this morning. I’m spacing my toes right now. The run was in a storm. Lightning and heavy rain.

10:20pm. I went for two runs after work. A little meditation nap in there too while the kids were playing nice in their room. The first run was fine. Various pacing. With some sprints and walks. Then I’m back and Lauren tells me to go again. Roger that. Second 5km loop was pretty straightforward. Felt strong and steady in the second run. No worries.

There were more questions. There was more anxiety that I’m not getting enough training in. We needed to calibrate what I was doing. Get in sync if it was something we needed to worry so much about. I gave my 7 day routine. One day each week Saturday or Sunday I’m aiming for a long run. The rest of the runs I’m recovering from the long run but also building strength. The runs during the week don’t need to be insane km if they’re helping me execute the long runs. Then we’re good. I need hill work. I need core work in the home gym. I need to stretch out my hips with a ball and the roller etc. and the theragun. Etc. plenty of consistent mobility training. But the daily runs will get me into that mentality. That rhythm and groove to go out and get done what I’m feeling will work best. For what I need as I progress towards my big runs.

But the idea of grinding crazy kilometers every day. That’s over training.

I brought up that most runs are actually going to be kind of easy relaxed pace. And at least one run is like super easy pace. Awkwardly slow which is actually more challenging. But ultimately. Builds my muscle stronger. And makes me faster. If I can actively go slow.

Alas, plenty of thought is going into it. But only matters if the daily runs are abided by. That’s how I get a super deep understanding of my running ability. Skill.

Most of my runs I’m not pushing into lactic build. But at the same time. Some of those sprint and hill work. That’s pushing the envelope. To make sure I am indeed adapting stronger each week.

I’m building endurance. The long runs will be equally about planing and prep and then defence against mental fatigue during. And then recover after.

The runs between are all about recovery. Increasing strength. Avoid injury. As in don’t over train the connecting days. Make sure I get to the long runs with pep. Strength.

Time in the half marathon. We might be able to race it…

But I don’t want to injure myself. So I’m thinking I’ll just cruise it. I am the tortoise.
