I believe this is where we are currently headed. AI will continue to run unchecked, and taking away job after job, MILLIONS will lose their jobs and be unable to find work, think a coal miner situation but in a global marketplace. In this country, folks will not be able to afford to eat, and we are an armed society, it will break down, people will pick up arms and start stealing to survive, and targeting those that are behind AI and government, our society will break down and this country will fall. The alternative should be that government recognizes the threat of AI to society and plans for it with Universal Income - and AI leads us to a more leisure lifestyle, but the billionaires and capitalists will not let that happen, so society will break, and our country will fall and millions will lose their life because we have some rich people that are so selfish they don't care about others. The only way this doesn't happen is if Government does it's job and starts regulating to protect society. LOL - yeah, that ain't gonna happen. Have a great day !! DD
i think AI is being overhyped right now and its not going to be the be-all-end-all that many think it will be. its useful for some tasks, but i dont think it can totally take over most things humans can do. in my industry some companies are firing up to 40% of their executive teams. not sure how much of that is due to AI taking over or trying to get ahead of the next recession though. the powers-that-be are really pushing it on us though...i uninstalled copilot from microsoft office, but in the last week or so ive got this stupid copilot box showing up in the bottom right of all my excel and word documents. cant get rid of it. super annoying. the coolest use of AI that i have encountered are youtube videos where people are feeding it old paintings and photos of cities and turning it into videos. you can take a tour of 1500's london, 1700's new york or 1800's houston. fascinating.
My first predication is that much of the money invested in AI development will have zero ROI. In my industry (software), I can see great productivity increases. A team of five people may be able to replace a team of 20. Time and cost to market should be reduced. I can see innovators (think Steve Jobs) being able to get to market quicker with their ideas, at a lower cost. There could be a boon in innovators and their products in the marketplace. I don't see how AI will displace the innovators. I may be wrong, but I don't see a AI that can "write the Great American Novel with the flair of Shakespeare" or that can "paint a landscape with the flair of Monet".
it will take away countless jobs when the damage has become too much to ignore, Dems will introduce some sort of legislation to curtail it (republicans won’t give a fck), but by then it will be too late
Everyone without a c in their title hates that **** and basically everyone under 30. I don't think the Internet or railroad had this problem
No they did not, this is a complete disruption of MANY FIELDS at the same time - and there will be so many people that lose their jobs - there will be people embracing it too early and it will devastate companies - this is so dangerous to mankind - people have no idea - AI will be smarter than people, quicker, everything will change. I use AI, am able to do contracts that used to take hours, in a matter of seconds - I can write code by just speaking what I want to have happen - I do think my industry will change, and instead of large teams we will break into SO MANY smaller ones, but people that don't learn AI tools will be left behind forever.

AI isn’t mowing your grass, building your house, going grocery shopping for you. Not in your lifetime or mine. This kind of thinking is no different than someone who vapes consistently telling a smoker they will die soon. I literally run a business sourcing and building these facilities and the power issue is A LOT bigger than any of your dumbasses think. Ultimately, It’s a fad and it will die before it fully gets going and thank God. It’s a base for something better later, like 50 years later. Until then. Stop the stupid fear mongering.
But its already driving cars, which is much more difficult than the things you mentioned. That said, AI is vastly overblown right now. Founders need to justify the hundreds of billions and they are doing as well as a beggar peddling money in front of a 7-11. For example, lets take this genius from Anthropic - claims to find the core agency behind human rationale ... and then immediately runs to the same institution that led countless wars and tens of millions of deaths.
I actually think there is a scenario where the board of companies realize the big savings is cutting the ceo position and replacing it with a much lower paid charismatic spaokesperson/saleperson and AI. AI presents plans to the board, the board makes the big decisions and the charisma guy carries them out with AI co-pilot. Charisma guy should be good at golf, too, to help with sales. You totally could replace a ceo. I mean, “Dave”.
I saw a report that Anthropic turned a profit this quarter, much earlier than expected. The reason, apparently, is that there is such a shortage of AI HW components that they couldn’t spend any more, while revenue was enough to end up with a small profit.
So How many Data Compounds are being built and Why do we need thing and don't tell me to make cartoon versions of ourselves Rocket River
They already have robotic mowers, 3d printed houses, and robotic pickers in grocery warehouses though.
Rumor has it Star Citizen replaced the dev team with AI. After training on millions of hours of founder data, it achieved singularity and immediately opened another funding round @DaDakota
