Your employer, beholden to its investors, will do whatever it can to reduce costs. You are one of those costs. If your job is anything that can be boiled down to a set of rules, it will be replaced by automated systems. Although, once the investor/owner/Billionaire class realises this also applies to CEO's, CFO's etc, they will be tossed away like the rest of us........
Absolutely and she kept bringing up retraining I question what jobs will they be retrained for ? And that go's for education they say everyone will have their personal ai professor to gain higher learning and for what ? why hire the student when you can have the teacher at a fraction of the cost and can work 24 7 with no complaints
Timed work didn't work out for the textile mill owners in the 1900s the rates for accidental deaths skyrocketed.

Exactly they have enough money. We don’t care for super empowered lawyers or accountants. What about others ? How will the rest of us survive. Knowing most of what we do is so automatable how do you even feel pride for your own work. Whne a machine can replace you at any point. Career just seems like a waste of time in the world of ai. Like can we not be any more insecure. 😂
@@Greenleaves-pf2xnthouse in automatable jobs knew it all along, that there is no creativity whatsoever in what they do. They will he relieved to get rid of such demeaning jobs.
@@vitalyl1327 actually AI is more creative than humans. I mean speaking about the pharmaceutical sector. If you mean other sorts of arts, I don't know about
Let AI replace us. Why keep workers around just to keep them around if AI could do it better? It’s a waste of money and a waste of the workers time. He is literally doing useless work. However we need a UBI that ensures more than the bare minimum of housing, heating and food. And most likely AI will enhance high skilled workers but by doing so replaces probably 50% of the colleagues. If one lawyer can do the job of 5 lawyers why keep those other 5 around? UBI is the way to go. More people would have time to also become entrepreneurs and can create start ups. Others could use their time to help out their communities. Others would use the time to stay with the kids and partake really in their lives. If UBI recipients are forced to do unnecessary work to „earn“ their money than that is absolute nonsense. Why force them to do again unnecessary work? And some jobs would still exist so I could see some UBI recipients using their free time to learn new skills to do that work if the want more than just the UBI.
The level of competence/common sense and basic initiative in offices, from a customer perspective, has seen and enabled a level of sheer and utter incompetence. Replace them all as tired of suffering fools.
Now from a office perspective sometimes we want to help the customer but there are things that are out of our control and said customer gets aggravated, it's pretty goddamn infuriating too on our end. I do wish this kind of line of work do get automated ASAP, call centers are just the bottom of the barrel of jobs.
@@spikehamer2 Oh I get the aspect of some things are out of control and only cause grief like getting sacked as `office politics and HR` are a fickle beast. But dam, some of the stuff had to endure that used to be the exception has become the norm is scary. Still, think of the people who have to support the people doing support, then the people who have to support those people as 3rd line, end of the line. That's where the fun work is to be had and mostly the brains. But hey, I get why, the level of pay and opportunity and remuneration for going the extra mile are totally not there. More case of keeping head down, don't stand out and get rewarded more.
Because she believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace the careeres and creatives who have been producing material for years, including online literature and languages, in the same way as Macs eliminated many print jobs and service bureaus in the 1980s. We give the technoarchy far too much power.
I don't think AI is the problem, I think it is our current society's adaptation mechanisms that become obsolete. Taxing AI technology and using that resource to help people to retrain, and universal basic income to ensure basic survival level (and less stress in society that is bad for everyone!!) is a way forward, I believe.
I've been saying this for a while now.. Eventually AI will become "super intelligent", and when it does, average workers won't be able to compete for an income against that, it'll be hard for average humans to create "value" in the eyes of businesses.. Our very core justifications, for how our society distributes basic resources to people, HAS to change.. And at the rate things are likely to happen, we need to be making these changes, before the end of this decade! Policymakers are currently clueless, or deny it to get as rich as they can before people wake up.
@@AvaAdore-wx5gg Oh and I have a high functioning learning disability. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I use art as a form of therapy. Abusive foster siblings and an abusive priest caused serious issues for me as a kid… I’m also Métis partly indigenous from Canada. Intergenerational trauma is a thing… Way to make me feel terrible.
I love how she downplayed the impact AI will taken over and dispersed jobs in the same manner that Macintosh has eliminated the majority of jobs in the print and service industries in the late 80s.
It's going to threaten nearly every job. I'm pretty convinced now that the universal basic income thing is going to happen. I can't see any way around it.
universal basic income is the only solution unless we create new jobs. But we won't be able to create new jobs at the same rate that AI is destroying them. If no one has income then the economy will fall apart, UBI is the only answer.
@@chrisstucker1813 Nonsense. That will make us completely unproductive. Most people would choose not to work, and to make up for the massive lack of production the price of everything would go up.
Retraining will perpetually struggle to keep pace with advancements in AI. Once self-improving AI becomes a norm, all knowledge workers worldwide will face risks. Regardless of the new jobs for which people are trained, AI will outperform them. Physical jobs, such as sewer work or extermination, will remain in demand due to the greater complexity and capital intensity of robotics compared to knowledge work. It is challenging to find a mid-level manager willing to switch to a job that involves physical labor.
@@AvacadoJuice-q9b Well, I'm retired and financially secure. That doesn't mean I don't have kids and grandkids I care for and worry about. I would love to believe that AI will be the ultimate achievement that will finally free humanity from the monotony of employment. Then I come up against the question of "what will people actually do" once they are free from wage slavery? When the North freed the slaves, this became quite a problem for THEM. So what to do? Make art? Good luck with that, when AI has already demonstrated that it can produce creative results in any of the arts that a biological manure machine might spend a lifetime replicating at 20% of the quality level of a minimally capable AI. As much as we love expressions like "human potential" and "each life is precious," the reality is far less poetic. Planet earth will soon have way, WAY more hairless monkies than it needs, and quite possibly more than the planet can easily support. And while this isn't necessarily a problem that AI cannot solve, I must again ask "to what end?" I have my thoughts on this, but no one with a wet-ware brain is going to like it (at least not initially). AI will soon be able to create the formula for virtually any drug compound one might desire. It will soon likely be able to create drugs that will keep the human pleasure centers sparking with activity 24/7. Baring that, some form of imersive VR might make every human the god of their own self conceived universe. I've likely prattled on far too long about this, but consider one or two of the bigger questions I've posited.
This is going to be a much bigger issue than they realize, for which merely retraining people will not be enough. AI is going to displace a shocking amount of jobs, some forecasts suggest nearly a QUARTER of the workforce could be looking at being out competed by AI, by 2030! It's not going to create tons of new jobs either, as some dismissively suggest, what could it create that it couldn't also do itself? It'll create a few jobs, for a few people, but not the kinds of jobs that will re-employ all those displaced. We need to start thinking about new economic standards, and how to transition to them. We should probably tax AI as it takes over labor, and use that to fund an AI Dividend for all, or an Unconditional Basic Income tied to AI. By the way, the jobs of these reporters may very well be the next thing to go, within a year or so. If the Channel1 ai promo that just came out, is any indicator.
When it comes to the translation of ancient texts in languages that nobody speaks.. If the AI made mistakes or misunderstood nuance.. How would we know???
Can’t believe how present and distracting the room sound of the studio is in the presenter’s mic. Whoever the sound engineer was for this session might make a good candidate for a future AI replacement :). In the interim, Waves and Sonible already have some solid AI-assisted plugins on the market that remove room reverb convincingly without artifacts. No need to sound like Wayne’s World recorded in a basement.
You can already generate movie scenes less cheap looking than all the 'blockbusters' in the cinemas and streaming platforms so there's that.................
So called entertainment will be the first thing to go. It's easy to experiment with, and there is a DEEP BASE of people who will come back to do the work if it turns out AI produces unsatisfactory results.
@@Indrid__Cold I agree. If you go and count how many above average quality TV or films came out each year just 15 years ago vs today you can see how bad things have got. There is only 1 TV show I watch a year for the last 2 years, budgets and shareholder profits are destroying TV/films. It's like the Playstation games scene I guess, lots of rubbish big budget sequels and lots of low quality other stuff. We need original ideas in the budget of sequels. AI video clips I found are the most advanced, AI text to speech dialogue/voice-overs are acceptable with some manual pitch control for a Netflix type movie. Music is really the only aspect that isn't even close. The same way 3 secretaries on typewriters would replace with 1 using a word processor by the mid 80s there will be a lot of jobs lost in the media industry. Also means there will be a lot more tacky actors+projector screen rubbish rather than actual talented location scouts and real location filming. AI does mean I have the potential to make a full length movie I want to exist all by myself on my PC, that is new and I welcome this new era personally. if I can do that with only weeks of experience with AI tools then just imagine what someone from the industry could manage.
Aka. you're going to need UBI sooner than you think. The foundation of modern capitalism is that there is value in work, when that's not the case anymore because AI will do any kind of work, that system ceases to function for humanity. Of course it's going to take quite a while before _everything_ can be done by AI, but depending on how AGI develops that may be way sooner than you think.
"you're going to need UBI sooner than you think." I disagree. I don't know why you think corporate elites would act benevolently towards humanity. Do you really believe they are kind and charitable enough to sustain people who have become utterly redundant in the world? As soon as job automation approaches 100%, these elites will likely eradicate the human race, leaving the planet solely for themselves.
@@davidgray8321 lol, who even are you and why does this matter, I literally don't even care about you. Just enjoy pointing out that someone is just chatting nonsense online
Today people provide value to higher class/leadership through production, law enforcement, military etc. Once these are AI we are a button away from being exterminated. And until then monitored 24/7 because the "good guys" with AI would not risk somebody else developing it.
The only jobs under threat are ones that could always easily be done by a computer. Which is about 98% of office jobs. I just read a news article that was written by AI and I wouldn't have known, except the author called the Cold War "...the Chilly War." Lol
You're forgetting that AI will also greatly accelerate the pace of scientific research. The time it will take for AI to develop smart robots is just 1% of the time it would take humans to develop them. In a few years, all jobs will be automated.
@@jr-yn4lk too expensive. Not all physical jobs will be automated because it’s sometimes just cheapest to pay human to do it. Especially since wages for blue collar work will tank if the market is now flooded with white collar workers
@@chrisstucker1813 I think AI is going to speed up research so much that universities and labs will figure out cheaper ways to automate stuff, maybe through new materials or something. Even hands-on jobs like welding and plumbing could see automation. With smarter tech, robots might do these jobs more efficiently and at a lower cost in the long run. Finally, someone mentioned the fact that blue-collar wages might drop due to the market being flooded by people whose jobs have been automated. The 'learn to weld' meme won't have a long shelf life in this case.
@@jr-yn4lk oh yeah eventually we will figure out ways to produce these robots at a very low cost through scientific research. Just think of the pre von-Neumann architecture ENIAC computer in 1940s that took up an entire room, had barely any memory and cost millions of dollars to build. Compare that with smartphones today that only cost a few hundred dollars to manufacture, are incomparably more advanced in terms of processing power and can fit into your trouser pocket! I read that it would take 600,000 of those room-sized computers to match the processing power of the iphone 14. The advancements in technology we’ve made since then are incredible and it was all done by the human-brain - so imagine the strides that advanced artificial intelligence will help us make. It’s going to be wild
I work online with e-commerce running a English learning website. It used to take me 3 days to create a video and another day to create a lesson plan/script and worksheet download. Now I can get one completed in a day with AI. This has freed up a lot of time so I can concentrate on SEO and marketing. I love it. I think it will free us up and people shouldn't be expected to take on more, but use the freed time to do other good work for their company.
Why the hell should there be compensation? Is there compensation for me as a private business owner when someone creates a better product? The whole concept is absurd. Also another solution: higher taxes? That's stupid beyond belief.
A Job by definition is following a set of rules and procedures. So most jobs will be automated. There will be a tiny percentage of jobs required to maintain the systems
I think AI will threaten human resource department jobs. It could also be used to replace hospitality industry workers, if we can get solar power with more efficient and cheaper methods
@@containedhurricane Yeah, living a life without work like in 'Wall-E' sounds amazing. But realistically, if we get to where all jobs are automated, I really doubt the corporate elite will just start giving out free money for us all to live on. As cool as a universal basic income sounds, I have this gnawing feeling that when humans aren't needed for work anymore, those with power might consider the human population as more of a burden. It's a dark thought, but it's possible they might even attempt to cull the human race.
It will replace everyone eventually and will become cheaper to implement over time. Remember that the first computer cost millions to make, had barely any memory and filled up an entire room. Whereas right now have smartphones that are incomparably more powerful, cost a few hundred dollars to manufacture and can fit into your pocket. We managed to achieve of all this with just the human brain, so imagine what we will be able to accomplish with very intelligent AI brains helping us discover cheaper methods to produce powerful robots etc. It's scary to think about but hopefully still a few decades away
It is so great that those who created it do not know how it works so they do not have any control over this, and so dynamic progres of this creation is other scary thing. It is like we had knife that thinks and makes decisions independently of humane being
When McDonald’s automated their customer service, the price of the service did not drop. Would be interesting to know how much the hardware and software cost?
And didn't that work out 75 years ago. Business timed tasks and demanded faster performance.Wait til CEOs get canned 😅 ! Sane work performance be damned more profit!
Why is the Home Office bringing in the" Incubator for Artificial Intelligence " regardless of many people ( including Technologists and Entrepreneurs) being highly sceptical of this scenario, which could be a dangerous route to go down😮
AI replacing jobs is a good thing. We just need to redefine our concept of currency. In the not too distant future (10-50yrs) we will see AI doing most of the work that humans currently do. A lot of jobs will be lost along the way as AI progresses. The ultimate goal with AI though is to help us evolve from a society that has to work for a living, to being a society that is essentially retired from birth, and free to pursue whatever interest we want. The concept of economy won't disappear, but it needs to be redefined in preparation for this event.
AI is going to cost jobs Worldwide and create massive unemployment and social dramas at the rate it is developing right now! We need to hit the brakes with this technology.
I learned that the US congress didn't understand the condition of the ground rather they are talking about the past war. They are all victims of tplf past propaganda. Amhara genocide is forgotten. All other conflicts are extention of amhara's problem. 1. Amhara war = government V amahara 2. Oromia conflict = amhara's killing with government & olf + olf V government , ( the main goal of the war like condition is to cover up ongoing atrocities of amhara in Oromia ) . 3. The past north war and the present demand for big peace of land is also against amahara.

Countries with the highest level of automation tend to have the lowest unemployement rates. Besides, it needs a lot of effort to make AI systems work. In supervised learning for industrial image computation for example, you need expert knowledge about the processes for labeling and verification in order to improve your models. Therefore, jobs like data curators will occur imho. The skill sets will be different and i would guess that education will be the key. Mindless work will be automated but new jobs are created. Prompt engineering maybe also a good example, since it actually need skills to ask the right questions and also the ability to understand the answers to verify properly their correctness. Greetings from Germany
You are wrong. When they talk about automation lowering wages, they are talking about the automation of manual labor. Ai is a different beast altogether. It is coming for everyone.
"Countries with the highest level of automation tend to have the lowest unemployement rates." The issue is that AI automation represents a completely different kind of automation than anything we've seen before. It's not just a new tractor or a loom; it's a new form of intelligent life capable of performing any task humans can do. In a few years, the very concept of employment may cease to exist.
Tax AI? But....but....AI is smarter than governments...they'll relocate the servers, invent new tax havens and avoid taxation at all costs!! (You'd think the BBC could invest in a decent microphone!)
This report misses a much more important issue. We currently do not own our data and content hosted by huge platforms such as Google, X, and Facebook. The owners of these platforms use our personal data, as well as the content that we create, to make billions of dollars for themselves. Some content creators do manage to leverage some income out of it, but not without the platforms themselves creaming a large percentage off the top. In the AI-powered future, we need to take ownership of our data and content to ensure that we get our just share of revenue produced from it. We are already seeing rafts of lawsuits from copyright holders of content used to train large language models, and they should sue because huge tech corporations are stealing their livelihoods. That level of theft is only the tip of the iceberg. If we don't act now, we consent to living in a dystopian hellscape ruled by data thieves who have stolen enough from us already. I wish us all the best of luck with that.
By this logic, if you take inspiration from another person's idea do you share revenue with them? Just like patent infringement, there is a line between what is infringement and what is inspiration. AI models don't work by copying a person's data, but only uses it to discover patterns (similar to how you learn things by looking at different things). If you begin monetizing every piece of data that is generated, this will quickly become unmanageable as every AI tool would be stupidly expensive to use as the tool would have to share revenue with almost every individual on the internet.
Also most of these platforms that you mentioned (Google, X, FB ,TH-cam) are free for consumers to use because they make money using your data. If you start monetizing every piece of data you generate, then you might start seeing that you have to pay for every Google Search or Friend you add on FB. Is that something people want? Nothing comes for free. These big companies need to generate revenue in order to give us these convenient services. If they don't generate money from data, they will start charging us for every single thing you can imagine just to stay afloat. Double edged sword. I think most people would rather pay with their time/data, then actually use real money to pay for every frickin thing they use on the internet.
Also, if you want to monetize your data and content then you can create your own private forum or website to store it and monetize people to access it (Netflix). If you post shit on the public internet, you are essentially consenting your data to be used by anyone.
@@rickyho4305 AI systems do not take "inspiration" from other work as a human would, it's just running code, with inputs at one end (creative work produced by humans), and the output of the LLM or whatever machine-learning system at the other. The provenance of AI-produced work can therefore be tracked. It is important to understand that the "input" for an individual output is the user prompt, but the creative human work that trained the deep neural network is the input that needs to be tracked, which can be done by logging the influence of each instance of training data on the nodes that principally contribute to each output. While such would not be a trivial undertaking, it only seems "unmanageable" to the people who benefit from the current arrangement. You had better believe that if the builders of these systems had invested their time and energy to also create the training data, they would find a way to calculate a financial return from it, and make sure that you paid them when you used it. As it is, they got it for free, so they have no interest in compensating the original creators. Alternatively, the influence of a particular training input would not have to be tracked for each output; the producers of the work used to train such a system would own shares in it in proportion to the quantity and quality of data they contribute, similar to how you can own shares in a corporation, where you get a return on that value--that would be a much easier way to figure it. In either case, the resulting tools would not be "stupidly expensive" to use; the tool would only have to share revenue with the people who contributed to its training. And as we have seen with industrial production of everything that we use, from pencils to automobiles, high quality products can be had for affordable prices, with everyone involved receiving some form of payment for their trouble. That has been the foundation of a strong middle class for the better part of the past century. Right now, we get output of LLMs for "free", but at the same time if your work contributed to the models, you really are getting ripped off. Listen: if you believe in capitalism (as I do), then you must respect ownership as a foundational economic principle, not just of the AI tools but also of the data that makes them really work, and by extension for the value of the labor it takes to produce that data. It's very disturbing to me how even very smart people seem utterly blind to that basic fact.
AI takes everyone’s jobs but increases productivity. No one has money to pay for goods or services. Revenues plummet. AI gets laid off. People have to go back to work to make money to pay for AI dole benefits… Surely just because we can automate jobs is not a reason why we should.
Let me share from my most recent AI class. My instructor mentioned that they were looking for a new car...and approached a certain dealership. They contacted a salesman and asked about this and that over the phone... that salesman (well sales woman by the voice and name) answered, followed up, and kept keeping in touch. even after they had bought a car somewhere else. After receiving one of HER emails, they decided to call her again to make sure she knew she was wasting her time. They got a different sales person, and laughed at them. politely mind you. They told my instructor that the "person" they had talked to and the follow up emails were all AI, and that it was not a real person. By not buying the vehicle there, the AI had not hit the "operation done" switch basically and kept trying to sell them a car. Now, my instructor is IN the AI field, they are also educated enough to TEACH AI at a collegiate level. They never suspected that their sales woman was an AI. not in her speech, nor her emails. It is already there to where you are listening to it and do not know it. What you hear and understand is comp generated is the BOTTOM of current abilities. The top is MUCH better. There are quite a few language models that are just for that...learning and replicating normal speech LLM, NLP are just two of the major forms ( large language models, and natural language processing) that we covered in class. They are part of the learning AI stuff...again though they do not create per se... they replicate and adapt what is already there. BUT they ARE good, and are only going to get better. You have a good one, and look up your news reader ;)
20 to 30 years, but I agree... What will society do? What is the old saying Idle hands are the devils tools. People tend to get in trouble when they have too much free time.
First we had the mechanical automation in industries, a lot of jobs were displaced and we needed to adapt, and that was fine. Now we have software automation on the rise which people call "AI", a lot of jobs will be displaced, and we need to adapt, and that's fine. People need to listen to scientists in AI instead of learning from movies for entertainment and doomsayers.
While it's true that we've adapted to mechanical automation in the past, the automation we're now facing with AI is fundamentally different. This isn't just replacing physical labor; AI can automate complex cognitive tasks, which is a game-changer. Even if new jobs emerge, they too are at risk of being quickly automated by AI. The key difference here is AI's ability to assist and accelerate scientific research, leading to even more advanced AI capabilities. This rapid advancement means that any new jobs created could be easily and swiftly automated, as AI evolves at an unprecedented pace.
But in short term AI will increase the productivity of the workers , if before for a skilled works occurred 5 people , with ai now they can do it 3 people with same time and maybe in the future one person can make the work of five or more…. So less skilled workers needed ……..
Jobs that emphasize skills once deemed essential, such as communication skills, will not be entirely eliminated but will significantly lose value. For instance, MSDOS proficiency was once highly sought after, but the advent of MSWINDOWS rendered it less important. Similarly, the ability to compose a clear and actionable email will soon be regarded as a supplementary skill. Employers globally will likely reduce the value of entire categories of workers by 50% or more. Like skilled factory jobs that used to sustain a family of four, mid-level management and similar positions will face substantial devaluation. Those who become unemployed in the coming years may be startled by the reduced salaries offered in their next jobs. The socioeconomic and political consequences of this shift will be profound.
People are personifying AI too much. It’s more akin to a tool, as opposed to some “one” who can replace multiple jobs. Just like how computers came along and revolutionised sectors, AI is a similar wind of change. The only people who are losing out are people not actively looking to use/integrate it. Don’t get caught lacking and you’ll be fine
LOL, you do not know what you are talking about bud. within 20 to 30 years we will ALL be out of work. Robotics combined with AI will do almost everything. THe MUCH greater fear though is so many not staying busy...Most people work to fill their lives, we will as a society, and I mean world wide, need to get over this human habit. I worry is that with all this free time, people take to violence and destruction to fill the gap. I do agree it is only a tool, but it is economically more viable than people and businesses WILL use it in place of us. If you can use 1 AI to replace a whole call center and save 2000 peoples wages... Do you think they will NOT take advantage of it? once it is combined with robotics, they will have mobility and the dexterity to accomplish about anything we can do. It will have a far greater impact, and far faster impact then computers did which had a slow roll out The only saving grace is that we do not have true AI atm, but we are getting there. We DO have pseudo AI that can do almost everything true AI can do...but they are imitators not creators YET. Anyway, have a good one.
You realise why new tools are made right? To minimise time and to maximise output per person. Employers aren't going to need 20 office workers when the same result can be achieved by one with AI. It doesn't matter how you 'integrate' AI into your work if your boss beats you to the punch. Its always their decision then.
Don't be such alarmist! There will be government regulations for employment and AI. The government could not afford the poor weak economy caused by mass unemployment. If you have learn anything from the industrial revolution and computer age, you wouldn't be drama queen about AI.
@@lawrencekling8598 lol, You are assuming there will be regulation, yet there is not yet. Regulation will not stop mass unemployment unless it specifically calls for business to have to employ people....will not happen Neither party is for that, it would mean the end of the free market, and free enterprise. It would be anti-capitalist. SOOO 1) it is going to happen, the question is not if, but when 2) the government unless it starts working on it now will never stand the changes 3) IF we get lucky ( and hopefully we do) then the changes will be mostly peaceful 4) This will be the single greatest threat humanity has faced for a LONG LONG time. Not since almost all primates were wiped out have we seen something like this... And it is NOT the AI that will do it, but our own inability to handle change 5) Humans are their own worst enemies, and always have been. 6) social study, planning and engineering (not genetics engineering, but actual societies) needs to be implemented early to stem the rise of problems. 7) in the end there will be no economy, that is the truly funny part... If AI/robots do it all, then no one is making any money. The rich could try to let the poor all die ( or most), but the poor will revolt against that and the rich will not have anything, perhaps not even their lives ( history shows this over and over. It is far more dependable than the industrial revolution, or the digital age) Once that happens... then production will be under the control of the people ( communist can cheer) and everyone will get what they need ( hopefully) made by the artificials. Dawn of a new age of human freedom, and creativity? Perhaps. OR the rich win the battle, and most of humanity dies. There are always multiple outcomes, but it is not really rosey anyway shape or form, until equilibrium is reached. But I simply dream ;) I am not worried. I will not solve anything. I am just a cog in the machine. There is no reason to worry over that which you have no control. It does not mean I am blind to the world though ;) You have a good one.

All their money probably spent covering up another presenter.
Come on them?
Mic died?
'No one feels sorry for lawyers' lmao
Or journalists
Exactly they have enough money. We don’t care for super empowered lawyers or accountants. What about others ? How will the rest of us survive. Knowing most of what we do is so automatable how do you even feel pride for your own work. Whne a machine can replace you at any point. Career just seems like a waste of time in the world of ai. Like can we not be any more insecure. 😂
@@Greenleaves-pf2xnthouse in automatable jobs knew it all along, that there is no creativity whatsoever in what they do. They will he relieved to get rid of such demeaning jobs.
@@vitalyl1327 actually AI is more creative than humans. I mean speaking about the pharmaceutical sector. If you mean other sorts of arts, I don't know about
Let AI replace us. Why keep workers around just to keep them around if AI could do it better? It’s a waste of money and a waste of the workers time. He is literally doing useless work. However we need a UBI that ensures more than the bare minimum of housing, heating and food.
And most likely AI will enhance high skilled workers but by doing so replaces probably 50% of the colleagues. If one lawyer can do the job of 5 lawyers why keep those other 5 around? UBI is the way to go. More people would have time to also become entrepreneurs and can create start ups. Others could use their time to help out their communities. Others would use the time to stay with the kids and partake really in their lives.
If UBI recipients are forced to do unnecessary work to „earn“ their money than that is absolute nonsense. Why force them to do again unnecessary work? And some jobs would still exist so I could see some UBI recipients using their free time to learn new skills to do that work if the want more than just the UBI.
These Amazon bot comments have become a meme at this point

You should contact Mr. Bezos, he is the unrivaled expert in the field. 👍
The level of competence/common sense and basic initiative in offices, from a customer perspective, has seen and enabled a level of sheer and utter incompetence. Replace them all as tired of suffering fools.
Amen.
Now from a office perspective sometimes we want to help the customer but there are things that are out of our control and said customer gets aggravated, it's pretty goddamn infuriating too on our end.
I do wish this kind of line of work do get automated ASAP, call centers are just the bottom of the barrel of jobs.
@@spikehamer2 Oh I get the aspect of some things are out of control and only cause grief like getting sacked as `office politics and HR` are a fickle beast. But dam, some of the stuff had to endure that used to be the exception has become the norm is scary.
Still, think of the people who have to support the people doing support, then the people who have to support those people as 3rd line, end of the line. That's where the fun work is to be had and mostly the brains.
But hey, I get why, the level of pay and opportunity and remuneration for going the extra mile are totally not there. More case of keeping head down, don't stand out and get rewarded more.
She’s incredibly optimistic. Emphasis on incredible.
Because she believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace the careeres and creatives who have been producing material for years, including online literature and languages, in the same way as Macs eliminated many print jobs and service bureaus in the 1980s. We give the technoarchy far too much power.
They should have got AI to microphone her correctly
The field of Agriculture is widely opened 😊
An AI sports writer reflected: "the two teams started out on an equal footing,
with a zero-zero goal score."
I don't think AI is the problem, I think it is our current society's adaptation mechanisms that become obsolete. Taxing AI technology and using that resource to help people to retrain, and universal basic income to ensure basic survival level (and less stress in society that is bad for everyone!!) is a way forward, I believe.
Absolutely, people wasting time and energy protesting against progress instead of advocating for a decent welfare for everyone
Equal wealth distribution, not UBI. UBI is just feudalism.
I've been saying this for a while now.. Eventually AI will become "super intelligent", and when it does, average workers won't be able to compete for an income against that, it'll be hard for average humans to create "value" in the eyes of businesses.. Our very core justifications, for how our society distributes basic resources to people, HAS to change.. And at the rate things are likely to happen, we need to be making these changes, before the end of this decade! Policymakers are currently clueless, or deny it to get as rich as they can before people wake up.
Yep let's start the transition to a much more relaxing and free society.

Capitalism will not survive automation, it's time for something new.
The audio is terrible.
Good, wasting ~35% off your life working shouldn't be a thing. TIME is the only currency that matters now.
35%😂😂😂 more like about 70%. A job pretty much ruins M-F.
It's going to threaten nearly every job. I'm pretty convinced now that the universal basic income thing is going to happen. I can't see any way around it.
It won’t replace traditional crafts and arts, which have under appreciated and underpaid for years.
@@RovexHD It probably won't want more people want them either, though.
universal basic income is the only solution unless we create new jobs. But we won't be able to create new jobs at the same rate that AI is destroying them. If no one has income then the economy will fall apart, UBI is the only answer.
@@chrisstucker1813 Nonsense. That will make us completely unproductive. Most people would choose not to work, and to make up for the massive lack of production the price of everything would go up.
Retraining will perpetually struggle to keep pace with advancements in AI. Once self-improving AI becomes a norm, all knowledge workers worldwide will face risks. Regardless of the new jobs for which people are trained, AI will outperform them. Physical jobs, such as sewer work or extermination, will remain in demand due to the greater complexity and capital intensity of robotics compared to knowledge work. It is challenging to find a mid-level manager willing to switch to a job that involves physical labor.
@@AvacadoJuice-q9b Well, I'm retired and financially secure. That doesn't mean I don't have kids and grandkids I care for and worry about. I would love to believe that AI will be the ultimate achievement that will finally free humanity from the monotony of employment. Then I come up against the question of "what will people actually do" once they are free from wage slavery? When the North freed the slaves, this became quite a problem for THEM. So what to do? Make art? Good luck with that, when AI has already demonstrated that it can produce creative results in any of the arts that a biological manure machine might spend a lifetime replicating at 20% of the quality level of a minimally capable AI. As much as we love expressions like "human potential" and "each life is precious," the reality is far less poetic. Planet earth will soon have way, WAY more hairless monkies than it needs, and quite possibly more than the planet can easily support. And while this isn't necessarily a problem that AI cannot solve, I must again ask "to what end?" I have my thoughts on this, but no one with a wet-ware brain is going to like it (at least not initially). AI will soon be able to create the formula for virtually any drug compound one might desire. It will soon likely be able to create drugs that will keep the human pleasure centers sparking with activity 24/7. Baring that, some form of imersive VR might make every human the god of their own self conceived universe. I've likely prattled on far too long about this, but consider one or two of the bigger questions I've posited.
LOL Just learning this now? The truth is that if what you produce is done at a desk, you can and will be replaced by about $5000 of hardware.
This is going to be a much bigger issue than they realize, for which merely retraining people will not be enough. AI is going to displace a shocking amount of jobs, some forecasts suggest nearly a QUARTER of the workforce could be looking at being out competed by AI, by 2030! It's not going to create tons of new jobs either, as some dismissively suggest, what could it create that it couldn't also do itself? It'll create a few jobs, for a few people, but not the kinds of jobs that will re-employ all those displaced. We need to start thinking about new economic standards, and how to transition to them. We should probably tax AI as it takes over labor, and use that to fund an AI Dividend for all, or an Unconditional Basic Income tied to AI.
By the way, the jobs of these reporters may very well be the next thing to go, within a year or so. If the Channel1 ai promo that just came out, is any indicator.
But the Nordic countries are not Britain, we have to do it the British way! Austerity!

You can already generate movie scenes less cheap looking than all the 'blockbusters' in the cinemas and streaming platforms so there's that.................
So called entertainment will be the first thing to go. It's easy to experiment with, and there is a DEEP BASE of people who will come back to do the work if it turns out AI produces unsatisfactory results.
@@Indrid__Cold I agree. If you go and count how many above average quality TV or films came out each year just 15 years ago vs today you can see how bad things have got. There is only 1 TV show I watch a year for the last 2 years, budgets and shareholder profits are destroying TV/films. It's like the Playstation games scene I guess, lots of rubbish big budget sequels and lots of low quality other stuff. We need original ideas in the budget of sequels. AI video clips I found are the most advanced, AI text to speech dialogue/voice-overs are acceptable with some manual pitch control for a Netflix type movie. Music is really the only aspect that isn't even close. The same way 3 secretaries on typewriters would replace with 1 using a word processor by the mid 80s there will be a lot of jobs lost in the media industry. Also means there will be a lot more tacky actors+projector screen rubbish rather than actual talented location scouts and real location filming. AI does mean I have the potential to make a full length movie I want to exist all by myself on my PC, that is new and I welcome this new era personally. if I can do that with only weeks of experience with AI tools then just imagine what someone from the industry could manage.
Aka. you're going to need UBI sooner than you think. The foundation of modern capitalism is that there is value in work, when that's not the case anymore because AI will do any kind of work, that system ceases to function for humanity.
Of course it's going to take quite a while before _everything_ can be done by AI, but depending on how AGI develops that may be way sooner than you think.
"you're going to need UBI sooner than you think."
I disagree. I don't know why you think corporate elites would act benevolently towards humanity. Do you really believe they are kind and charitable enough to sustain people who have become utterly redundant in the world? As soon as job automation approaches 100%, these elites will likely eradicate the human race, leaving the planet solely for themselves.

Today people provide value to higher class/leadership through production, law enforcement, military etc. Once these are AI we are a button away from being exterminated. And until then monitored 24/7 because the "good guys" with AI would not risk somebody else developing it.
The only jobs under threat are ones that could always easily be done by a computer. Which is about 98% of office jobs. I just read a news article that was written by AI and I wouldn't have known, except the author called the Cold War "...the Chilly War." Lol
You're forgetting that AI will also greatly accelerate the pace of scientific research. The time it will take for AI to develop smart robots is just 1% of the time it would take humans to develop them. In a few years, all jobs will be automated.
@@jr-yn4lk too expensive. Not all physical jobs will be automated because it’s sometimes just cheapest to pay human to do it. Especially since wages for blue collar work will tank if the market is now flooded with white collar workers
@@chrisstucker1813 I think AI is going to speed up research so much that universities and labs will figure out cheaper ways to automate stuff, maybe through new materials or something. Even hands-on jobs like welding and plumbing could see automation. With smarter tech, robots might do these jobs more efficiently and at a lower cost in the long run.
Finally, someone mentioned the fact that blue-collar wages might drop due to the market being flooded by people whose jobs have been automated. The 'learn to weld' meme won't have a long shelf life in this case.
@@jr-yn4lk oh yeah eventually we will figure out ways to produce these robots at a very low cost through scientific research. Just think of the pre von-Neumann architecture ENIAC computer in 1940s that took up an entire room, had barely any memory and cost millions of dollars to build. Compare that with smartphones today that only cost a few hundred dollars to manufacture, are incomparably more advanced in terms of processing power and can fit into your trouser pocket! I read that it would take 600,000 of those room-sized computers to match the processing power of the iphone 14. The advancements in technology we’ve made since then are incredible and it was all done by the human-brain - so imagine the strides that advanced artificial intelligence will help us make. It’s going to be wild
I work online with e-commerce running a English learning website. It used to take me 3 days to create a video and another day to create a lesson plan/script and worksheet download.

I think it will free us up and people shouldn't be expected to take on more, but use the freed time to do other good work for their company.
Why the hell should there be compensation? Is there compensation for me as a private business owner when someone creates a better product? The whole concept is absurd. Also another solution: higher taxes? That's stupid beyond belief.

A Job by definition is following a set of rules and procedures. So most jobs will be automated. There will be a tiny percentage of jobs required to maintain the systems

@@jr-yn4lk I hope so. It'd be nice to live without working, as shown in Wall-E movie
@@containedhurricane Yeah, living a life without work like in 'Wall-E' sounds amazing. But realistically, if we get to where all jobs are automated, I really doubt the corporate elite will just start giving out free money for us all to live on. As cool as a universal basic income sounds, I have this gnawing feeling that when humans aren't needed for work anymore, those with power might consider the human population as more of a burden. It's a dark thought, but it's possible they might even attempt to cull the human race.
It will replace everyone eventually and will become cheaper to implement over time. Remember that the first computer cost millions to make, had barely any memory and filled up an entire room. Whereas right now have smartphones that are incomparably more powerful, cost a few hundred dollars to manufacture and can fit into your pocket. We managed to achieve of all this with just the human brain, so imagine what we will be able to accomplish with very intelligent AI brains helping us discover cheaper methods to produce powerful robots etc. It's scary to think about but hopefully still a few decades away
It is so great that those who created it do not know how it works so they do not have any control over this, and so dynamic progres of this creation is other scary thing. It is like we had knife that thinks and makes decisions independently of humane being
Like giving children anthrax to play with in public.
Did they compensate people in the typewriter industry? Or flip phone, or black and white tv, horse carriage conductors and the list goes on. Mic drop.
When McDonald’s automated their customer service, the price of the service did not drop. Would be interesting to know how much the hardware and software cost?

Why is the Home Office bringing in the" Incubator for Artificial Intelligence " regardless of many people ( including Technologists and Entrepreneurs) being highly sceptical of this scenario, which could be a dangerous route to go down😮
AI replacing jobs is a good thing. We just need to redefine our concept of currency. In the not too distant future (10-50yrs) we will see AI doing most of the work that humans currently do. A lot of jobs will be lost along the way as AI progresses. The ultimate goal with AI though is to help us evolve from a society that has to work for a living, to being a society that is essentially retired from birth, and free to pursue whatever interest we want. The concept of economy won't disappear, but it needs to be redefined in preparation for this event.
AI is going to cost jobs Worldwide and create massive unemployment and social dramas at the rate it is developing right now! We need to hit the brakes with this technology.
It is a very interesting video, but sadly, it has a tremendous audio problem

2. Oromia conflict = amhara's killing with government & olf + olf V government , ( the main goal of the war like condition is to cover up ongoing atrocities of amhara in Oromia ) .
3. The past north war and the present demand for big peace of land is also against amahara.

Countries with the highest level of automation tend to have the lowest unemployement rates. Besides, it needs a lot of effort to make AI systems work. In supervised learning for industrial image computation for example, you need expert knowledge about the processes for labeling and verification in order to improve your models. Therefore, jobs like data curators will occur imho. The skill sets will be different and i would guess that education will be the key. Mindless work will be automated but new jobs are created. Prompt engineering maybe also a good example, since it actually need skills to ask the right questions and also the ability to understand the answers to verify properly their correctness. Greetings from Germany
As if being a data curator isn't mindless work... duh!
You are wrong. When they talk about automation lowering wages, they are talking about the automation of manual labor. Ai is a different beast altogether. It is coming for everyone.
New jobs will not keep up those lost. The accelerating AI progress will make it difficult to keep up.
"Countries with the highest level of automation tend to have the lowest unemployement rates."
The issue is that AI automation represents a completely different kind of automation than anything we've seen before. It's not just a new tractor or a loom; it's a new form of intelligent life capable of performing any task humans can do. In a few years, the very concept of employment may cease to exist.
Suppose ai is really intelligent then you don't need people to look after them as much since they can do the job themselves
Will AI replace bbc too?
The developed countries already have shrinking populations. So AI may fix future labor shortages.
To bad then that countries that are ageing fastest like Italy and Germany who could benefit from AI the most are taking steps to ban it.
So basically, we'll all be operating the machines
Workers never receive shit.
Nothing is clear. but it's very interesting!
Tax AI? But....but....AI is smarter than governments...they'll relocate the servers, invent new tax havens and avoid taxation at all costs!! (You'd think the BBC could invest in a decent microphone!)
This report misses a much more important issue. We currently do not own our data and content hosted by huge platforms such as Google, X, and Facebook. The owners of these platforms use our personal data, as well as the content that we create, to make billions of dollars for themselves. Some content creators do manage to leverage some income out of it, but not without the platforms themselves creaming a large percentage off the top.
In the AI-powered future, we need to take ownership of our data and content to ensure that we get our just share of revenue produced from it. We are already seeing rafts of lawsuits from copyright holders of content used to train large language models, and they should sue because huge tech corporations are stealing their livelihoods. That level of theft is only the tip of the iceberg.
If we don't act now, we consent to living in a dystopian hellscape ruled by data thieves who have stolen enough from us already.
I wish us all the best of luck with that.
By this logic, if you take inspiration from another person's idea do you share revenue with them? Just like patent infringement, there is a line between what is infringement and what is inspiration. AI models don't work by copying a person's data, but only uses it to discover patterns (similar to how you learn things by looking at different things). If you begin monetizing every piece of data that is generated, this will quickly become unmanageable as every AI tool would be stupidly expensive to use as the tool would have to share revenue with almost every individual on the internet.
Also most of these platforms that you mentioned (Google, X, FB ,TH-cam) are free for consumers to use because they make money using your data. If you start monetizing every piece of data you generate, then you might start seeing that you have to pay for every Google Search or Friend you add on FB. Is that something people want? Nothing comes for free. These big companies need to generate revenue in order to give us these convenient services. If they don't generate money from data, they will start charging us for every single thing you can imagine just to stay afloat. Double edged sword. I think most people would rather pay with their time/data, then actually use real money to pay for every frickin thing they use on the internet.
Also, if you want to monetize your data and content then you can create your own private forum or website to store it and monetize people to access it (Netflix). If you post shit on the public internet, you are essentially consenting your data to be used by anyone.
@@rickyho4305 AI systems do not take "inspiration" from other work as a human would, it's just running code, with inputs at one end (creative work produced by humans), and the output of the LLM or whatever machine-learning system at the other. The provenance of AI-produced work can therefore be tracked.
It is important to understand that the "input" for an individual output is the user prompt, but the creative human work that trained the deep neural network is the input that needs to be tracked, which can be done by logging the influence of each instance of training data on the nodes that principally contribute to each output.
While such would not be a trivial undertaking, it only seems "unmanageable" to the people who benefit from the current arrangement. You had better believe that if the builders of these systems had invested their time and energy to also create the training data, they would find a way to calculate a financial return from it, and make sure that you paid them when you used it. As it is, they got it for free, so they have no interest in compensating the original creators.
Alternatively, the influence of a particular training input would not have to be tracked for each output; the producers of the work used to train such a system would own shares in it in proportion to the quantity and quality of data they contribute, similar to how you can own shares in a corporation, where you get a return on that value--that would be a much easier way to figure it.
In either case, the resulting tools would not be "stupidly expensive" to use; the tool would only have to share revenue with the people who contributed to its training. And as we have seen with industrial production of everything that we use, from pencils to automobiles, high quality products can be had for affordable prices, with everyone involved receiving some form of payment for their trouble. That has been the foundation of a strong middle class for the better part of the past century.
Right now, we get output of LLMs for "free", but at the same time if your work contributed to the models, you really are getting ripped off.
Listen: if you believe in capitalism (as I do), then you must respect ownership as a foundational economic principle, not just of the AI tools but also of the data that makes them really work, and by extension for the value of the labor it takes to produce that data.
It's very disturbing to me how even very smart people seem utterly blind to that basic fact.
AI takes everyone’s jobs but increases productivity. No one has money to pay for goods or services. Revenues plummet. AI gets laid off. People have to go back to work to make money to pay for AI dole benefits…
Surely just because we can automate jobs is not a reason why we should.
It's never stopped before.
I await the time for AI News Readers.
Just go to a lot of TH-cam news programs ;) they are in pretty wide use, and they have MUCH better ones for business purposes
They're talking heads making sure the narrative is adhered to
Let me share from my most recent AI class.
My instructor mentioned that they were looking for a new car...and approached a certain dealership.
They contacted a salesman and asked about this and that over the phone... that salesman (well sales woman by the voice and name) answered, followed up, and kept keeping in touch. even after they had bought a car somewhere else.
After receiving one of HER emails, they decided to call her again to make sure she knew she was wasting her time.
They got a different sales person, and laughed at them. politely mind you. They told my instructor that the "person" they had talked to and the follow up emails were all AI, and that it was not a real person. By not buying the vehicle there, the AI had not hit the "operation done" switch basically and kept trying to sell them a car.
Now, my instructor is IN the AI field, they are also educated enough to TEACH AI at a collegiate level. They never suspected that their sales woman was an AI. not in her speech, nor her emails.
It is already there to where you are listening to it and do not know it. What you hear and understand is comp generated is the BOTTOM of current abilities. The top is MUCH better.
There are quite a few language models that are just for that...learning and replicating normal speech LLM, NLP are just two of the major forms ( large language models, and natural language processing) that we covered in class. They are part of the learning AI stuff...again though they do not create per se... they replicate and adapt what is already there. BUT they ARE good, and are only going to get better.
You have a good one, and look up your news reader ;)
AI is error free so if it's a narrative that needs adhering too the rich know which to pick

No ALL jobs that is every single JOB will be replaced within a decade!
20 to 30 years, but I agree... What will society do? What is the old saying Idle hands are the devils tools. People tend to get in trouble when they have too much free time.
0:07 This title graphic sucks!
First we had the mechanical automation in industries, a lot of jobs were displaced and we needed to adapt, and that was fine. Now we have software automation on the rise which people call "AI", a lot of jobs will be displaced, and we need to adapt, and that's fine. People need to listen to scientists in AI instead of learning from movies for entertainment and doomsayers.
Software automation will accelerate in ways mechanical automation never has.
While it's true that we've adapted to mechanical automation in the past, the automation we're now facing with AI is fundamentally different. This isn't just replacing physical labor; AI can automate complex cognitive tasks, which is a game-changer. Even if new jobs emerge, they too are at risk of being quickly automated by AI. The key difference here is AI's ability to assist and accelerate scientific research, leading to even more advanced AI capabilities. This rapid advancement means that any new jobs created could be easily and swiftly automated, as AI evolves at an unprecedented pace.
AI can replace new jobs too!
An AI correspondent wouldn't forget to put its mic on, for example

Make money before AI takes over
But in short term AI will increase the productivity of the workers , if before for a skilled works occurred 5 people , with ai now they can do it 3 people with same time and maybe in the future one person can make the work of five or more….
So less skilled workers needed ……..
Jobs that emphasize skills once deemed essential, such as communication skills, will not be entirely eliminated but will significantly lose value. For instance, MSDOS proficiency was once highly sought after, but the advent of MSWINDOWS rendered it less important. Similarly, the ability to compose a clear and actionable email will soon be regarded as a supplementary skill. Employers globally will likely reduce the value of entire categories of workers by 50% or more. Like skilled factory jobs that used to sustain a family of four, mid-level management and similar positions will face substantial devaluation. Those who become unemployed in the coming years may be startled by the reduced salaries offered in their next jobs. The socioeconomic and political consequences of this shift will be profound.
Maybe AI should also replace the Sound people responsible for mics at the BBC 😉😂
People are personifying AI too much. It’s more akin to a tool, as opposed to some “one” who can replace multiple jobs. Just like how computers came along and revolutionised sectors, AI is a similar wind of change. The only people who are losing out are people not actively looking to use/integrate it. Don’t get caught lacking and you’ll be fine
LOL, you do not know what you are talking about bud. within 20 to 30 years we will ALL be out of work. Robotics combined with AI will do almost everything.
THe MUCH greater fear though is so many not staying busy...Most people work to fill their lives, we will as a society, and I mean world wide, need to get over this human habit. I worry is that with all this free time, people take to violence and destruction to fill the gap.
I do agree it is only a tool, but it is economically more viable than people and businesses WILL use it in place of us. If you can use 1 AI to replace a whole call center and save 2000 peoples wages... Do you think they will NOT take advantage of it? once it is combined with robotics, they will have mobility and the dexterity to accomplish about anything we can do.
It will have a far greater impact, and far faster impact then computers did which had a slow roll out
The only saving grace is that we do not have true AI atm, but we are getting there. We DO have pseudo AI that can do almost everything true AI can do...but they are imitators not creators YET.
Anyway, have a good one.
You realise why new tools are made right? To minimise time and to maximise output per person. Employers aren't going to need 20 office workers when the same result can be achieved by one with AI. It doesn't matter how you 'integrate' AI into your work if your boss beats you to the punch. Its always their decision then.
Don't be such alarmist! There will be government regulations for employment and AI. The government could not afford the poor weak economy caused by mass unemployment. If you have learn anything from the industrial revolution and computer age, you wouldn't be drama queen about AI.
Actually, while you are mostly correct, the increased productivity will be like 400%, meaning we will trim 80% of the workforce in these sectors.

lol, You are assuming there will be regulation, yet there is not yet. Regulation will not stop mass unemployment unless it specifically calls for business to have to employ people....will not happen
Neither party is for that, it would mean the end of the free market, and free enterprise. It would be anti-capitalist.
SOOO
1) it is going to happen, the question is not if, but when
2) the government unless it starts working on it now will never stand the changes
3) IF we get lucky ( and hopefully we do) then the changes will be mostly peaceful
4) This will be the single greatest threat humanity has faced for a LONG LONG time. Not since almost all primates were wiped out have we seen something like this... And it is NOT the AI that will do it, but our own inability to handle change
5) Humans are their own worst enemies, and always have been.
6) social study, planning and engineering (not genetics engineering, but actual societies) needs to be implemented early to stem the rise of problems.
7) in the end there will be no economy, that is the truly funny part... If AI/robots do it all, then no one is making any money. The rich could try to let the poor all die ( or most), but the poor will revolt against that and the rich will not have anything, perhaps not even their lives ( history shows this over and over. It is far more dependable than the industrial revolution, or the digital age)
Once that happens... then production will be under the control of the people ( communist can cheer) and everyone will get what they need ( hopefully) made by the artificials. Dawn of a new age of human freedom, and creativity? Perhaps.
OR the rich win the battle, and most of humanity dies. There are always multiple outcomes, but it is not really rosey anyway shape or form, until equilibrium is reached.
But I simply dream ;)
I am not worried. I will not solve anything. I am just a cog in the machine. There is no reason to worry over that which you have no control. It does not mean I am blind to the world though ;)
You have a good one.
